The Canadian Association of Black Journalists is pleased to announce the 2021 edition of J-School Noire, a virtual media training and mentorship program geared towards Black Canadian youth.

This free, two-day workshop will be held during Black History Month in Halifax, Ottawa, Toronto and Edmonton, featuring some of Canada’s best-known media personalities. It’s a chance for Black high school and junior high-school students to learn from top media pros and build their storytelling skills. Here's the schedule:

J-School Noire Ottawa: Saturday Feb. 6 and Sunday Feb. 7, 2021, Noon to 3 pm ET

J-School Noire Halifax: Saturday Feb. 13 and Sunday Feb. 14, 2021, Noon to 3 pm AT:

J-School Noire Edmonton: Saturday Feb. 20 and Sunday Feb. 21, 2021, Noon to 3 pm MT

J-School Noire Toronto: Saturday Feb. 27 and Sunday Feb. 28, 2021, Noon to 3 pm ET

J-School Noire was transformational from the moment the CABJ launched it, in Halifax, during Black History Month 2020. Students will learn key skills, including:

• Hands-on Shooting

• Editing

• Podcasting

• Writing

• Interviewing

And much more!

Once students have completed J-School Noire, the CABJ will pair them with a senior journalist for yearlong mentoring as they begin their journey towards media careers.

J-School Noire is made possible through the generous support of our sponsors.
