Toronto the Politics the Show Image of Chloe BrownHealth After years of calls for data, study confirms Black Canadians face higher risk of maternal complications Researchers and advocates say this highlights the need for tools to combat racism, bias Alexandra Mae Jones · CBC News · Posted: Oct 05, 2026 4:00 AM EDT | Last Updated: October 5 Text to Speech Icon Listen to this article Estimated 7 minutes Black women twice as likely to face maternal complications: study October 5 | Duration 2:02 A new study published in the Canadian Medical Association Journal has found that Black Canadians face higher risks of complications during pregnancy, birth and postpartum compared to white Canadians — sparking renewed calls for culturally responsive care.School of Cities / Event Memories of Black Toronto – Bringing the city’s Black history to the screen Memories of Black Toronto banner image When Tuesday November 10, 2026 6:30—8:30 p.m. ET Where Innis Town Hall, Sussex Avenue, Toronto, ON, Canada - Map Get ticketsExternal link arrow Generic link logo Twitter logo LinkedIn logo Facebook logo Email Icon Film screeningCulture and Community-BuildingIndigenous, Race & Ethnic Studies On November 10, 2026, the University of Toronto’s School of Cities will host the public launch of the Memories of Black Toronto Project. We will debut two short films that present powerful stories from Black Toronto in the late 19th century, recreating daily life for Black residents in vivid cinematic detail through generative AI. The project is an interdisciplinary experiment, pairing rigorous archival research with emerging filmmaking technology, to bring “hidden” chapters of the city’s Black history to life. Led by SofC Urbanist-in-Residence Kofi Hope, in partnership with Dr. Cheryl Thompson and her platform ArchiveBlack (Formerly known as Mapping Ontario’s Black Archives), a team of researchers, architects and filmmakers spent one year developing these films. The goal was to explore how to ethically use generative video AI to present stories from Black history we have limited visual record of, in a stunning recreation of Toronto’s past. Every scene was rigorously referenced to actual archival images, maps and news reports. Directed by local filmmaker Matthew Pompey with voice narration from members of the Black community, the project has asked how we can use this new technology to develop visually beautiful, historically accurate narrative stories that to-date have been too cost-prohibitive to be produced by conventional filmmaking.
