Our Community Wellness Fair
Roots Community Services and partners invite you to Our Community Wellness Fair for Black, African, and Caribbean Communities on Saturday, June 20, 2026 10:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m. Malton Community Centre 3540 Morning Star Dr, Mississauga FREE admission and parking
Book your appointments for vaccinations for school-aged children here.
Dynacare (MD) will be offering blood panel screenings for diabetes, prostate cancer, liver health, and more on a walk-in basis.
Why a BAC Community Wellness Fair?
This initiative spearheaded is brought to you by several partners including, Roots Community Services, LAMP-East Mississauga, Wellfort CHC, Ontario Health, Moyo, Canadian Mental Health Association Peel Dufferin, Black Health Alliance, Black Physicians Association of Ontario, REST Centres, and the Peel Region.
This group first came together to support the BAC (Black, African, and Caribbean) communities in the Region of Peel who have been adversely impacted by COVID-19. We understood the challenges and hesitation of our communities and aimed to create a safe, supportive space to receive the vaccination. Our work has evolved to meet the broader health needs of BAC community members.
Our team of partners noted that BAC communities were less likely than other community members to be attached to primary health care providers and sought to make a positive difference. We were also sensitive to the reality that BAC communities are also more likely to experience racism and barriers while seeking medical care. The pandemic has also made access to preventative health care even more difficult. In response, agencies are hosting ‘Our Community Wellness Fair’, an event that creates a safe, supportive space to receive education, resources and have your questions answered by health and wellness providers. Come join us!
The fair will also feature fun-filled festivities

Health providers, educators, and exhibitors who reflect our community
What’s unique about Our Wellness Fair is that health providers, educators, and exhibitors represent the community. As we’ve learned through hosting over 40 BAC community COVID-19 vaccine clinics, creating a space where vaccinators, volunteers, and physicians reflect the community is very important. Building on this learning, organizers of Our Wellness Fair strive to have exhibitors who identify as a member of the BAC community.
Health providers, educators, and exhibitors who don’t identify as members of the Black, African, and Caribbean communities but can offer culturally sensitive and appropriate support through having a sound understanding of issues experienced by BAC communities, and have also demonstrated a commitment to serving racialized communities are welcomed to participate in this event.
