Jamaican-Canadian receives prestigious Order of Ontario
Marva Wisdom, a prominent equity and leadership practitioner, has
been appointed to the prestigious Order of Ontario, the highest honour
bestowed by the province for exceptional achievement.
Her acknowledgement of the countless individuals who supported her
journey underscores the importance of community in her success.
Wisdom’s commitment to community service led her to become deeply
involved in the Black Experience Project (BEP), where she engaged in
extensive community outreach to ensure the study accurately reflected
the community’s lived experiences.
The BEP, initiated by the Environics Institute in 2011 and released
in 2017, aimed to capture the perspectives of Black Canadians and their
contributions to the nation.
