Black Athlete Association Bursary for Marginalized Groups (BAA)
Led by the Black Athlete Association for Marginalized Groups (BAA), the Ridgebacks are teaming up with Nipissing University to “Shoot for Change” at their basketball games, focusing on advocating for anti-racism initiatives. One of the goals of the event being to establish a bursary to support Ontario Tech student-athletes whose heritage is self-identified as either Black or Indigenous and who demonstrate financial need.
The BAA was formed in 2021 to support black student-athletes at Ontario Tech. The association works towards creating a safe space for black athletes, educating Ontario Tech Ridgebacks on anti-racism and work to eradicate racism.
