Established in 1983, the Black Business and Professional Association (BBPA) Harry Jerome Awards celebrates excellence in achievement in the Black community. This formal dinner and awards gala is the premier event in the Black community and one of the most prestigious events in Canada. A highly valued symbol of achievement, the BBPA Harry Jerome Award is a coveted possession of the business people, professionals, athletes, academics, artists and community leaders who receive it. Award recipients are selected from among Canada-wide nominees recommended by business and professional colleagues, teachers, relatives and friends. Among those present at the 2017 awards in Toronto, were Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, and Ottawa’s own community leader and activist, Sarah and Onyango and Ottawa’s other favourite police officer, Debbie Miller.
