Proceeds of the Bromley L. Armstrong Awards Gala go toward supporting anti-racism work led by LCS and the Labour Council, and the recognition of anti-racism work within the Labour Movement. Campaigns such as the Refugee Next Door, Yes, It Matters: Addressing Systemic Racism, and Anti-Racism in Unions, were launched and continue to be active today. In 2024, the Eyes on the Prize project brought together Black union leaders to discuss how collective support in the fight against anti-Black racism could be strengthened.

Thank you to everyone who submitted a nomination for the 2026 Bromley L. Armstrong Awards. The Equity Committee and Toronto & York Region Labour Council are now in the process of selecting this year's recipients. We look forward to celebrating with everyone on June 19.
More about Bromley's Legacy
Highlights from the 2025 Bromley L. Armstrong Awards Gala
A Black trade unionist, community organizer and activist, Bromley Lloyd Armstrong was a pivotal figure in the early anti-discrimination campaigns in Ontario that led to Canada’s first anti-discrimination laws. As a self-described “blood and guts” ally of the working poor, he demonstrated a lifelong commitment to the trade union movement and the battle against disadvantage and discrimination. For more than six decades, Armstrong worked for human rights, helping to generate civic and government support for racial equality and advocating for human rights reforms in public policy.
