ABOUT OUR PARTNER ORGANIZATION: QCIC

(QCIC). QCIC is a micro collective of residents, investors, artists, entrepreneurs, academics, consultants and community builders who live, work, play, and invest in rural Quinte region.
The Committee formed in 2022 upon the realization that Black History Month (BHM) is needing future-focused change makers to advocate for equitable recognition as other key months (Examples: Women’s History Month (WHM) and Pride Month) in rural Eastern Ontario.
