By creating an atmosphere of encouragement in which black employees can prosper and flourish, it is our goal to ensure that the BEN will always be a safe space for employees to share their lived experiences and knowledge. We are not an advocacy group but a L.I.F.E. (Learning, Insight, Friendship, Education/Encouragement) group.  We will endeavour to bridge the gap between connecting black employees to resources that will aid in furthering their careers, raise concerns to upper management, a space to share successes and triumphs.
ESDC Black-Centric Lens	The Black-Centric Lens is a tool that will be embedded all internal processes to give specialized attention to Black Canadian communities to help policy analysts take their history, needs and lived experiences into account when designing or modifying the Department's programs, policies and services.
