Collisions YYC

In this episode, I am joined by Jon Cornish, Canadian Football Hall of Famer and Co-Founder of The Calgary Black Chambers, an organization that forges opportunity for Black professionals and entrepreneurs.

Show Notes

Any Calgary Stampeders fan knows Jon Cornish as a record-breaking, award-winning, legendary Canadian Football Hall of Famer. What they might not know is how his connections with the fans and the community at large turned Calgary into more than just the city he played football in. It made Calgary his true home. So, now that he’s off the field, how is he giving back to the city that welcomed him with open arms? The Calgary Black Chambers, an organization of Black professionals and entrepreneurs that want to make Calgary the best place for Black people to live and work in Canada. Join me as Jon shares the vision for The Calgary Black Chambers, how they celebrate Black success, and the work they are doing to have Black history added to the Alberta curriculum.
