It sometimes takes a single voice to trigger a movement In this case, Robert Tyndale’s voice was the catalyst for Edmonton Black Community Fund’s (EBCF) fundraising drive. Realizing that there was a need to build momentum behind the initiative, Tyndale sprung into action. “ I thought if I could engage the community around me to donate money, then at least we can take advantage of that ($100,000) matching opportunity that Edmonton Community Foundation announced when the fund was launched,” he says. Tyndale hosted the live streamathon on December 18th, 2021 with his partner, Keenan Pascal. The event brought together several of Edmonton’s community builders. David Shepard, MLA for Edmonton City Center; Andrew Parker, an educator; Rochelle Ignacio from Black Owned Markets; and Arlo Maverick, an artist/activist were just a few who shared their vision, stories and thoughts on the value of growing the EBCF.
