Telling the Stories of Race and Sports in Canada is a three-part project dedicated to exploring the past, present, and future of race and sport in Canada. As recent events throughout North America suggest, race is and has long been intertwined with sports. In Canada, however, many of the stories and experiences of athletes in a racialized context have been invisible or overlooked.

This web portal features interviews and information about Windsor-Essex County athletes of colour, an archive of papers presented at our September 2018 symposium, and a range of documents, images, and resources related to understanding the Canadian experiences in sport in the context of a racialized world.

This project was a partnership between the University of Windsor, the Chatham Kent Black Historical Society and the Essex County Black Historical Research Society. It was generously funded by a SSHRC Connection Grant and supported by the University of Windsor's Office of Research and Innovation Services , the Department of History, the Leddy Library, the Faculty of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences, and the Faculty of Human Kinetics.
