‍CANADA'S TOP RANKED ONLINE MAGAZINE FOR BLACK CANADIANS


 

ByBlacks.com 2025 People's Choice Awards

‍Hi Visitor ‍,

 

We were all set to launch the 2025 ByBlacks.com People’s Choice Awards voting — but alas, the ballots need a quick tune-up before we unleash them.

 

We’re hitting pause on the start button; your votes will begin flowing as soon as we dot a few i’s and cross some t’s. Hang tight — the hype train will depart soon.

 

We’re busy behind-the-scenes tuning the lineup, and expect voting to go live on Monday, December 8, 2025.

 

Thanks for bearing with us!

 

Warm regards,

 

Roger Dundas, Publisher
