2023 PEACE PATRON 

We are thrilled to announce that Mosaic’s 2023 Peace Patron honouree is Wes Hall, the Executive Chairman and Founder the BlackNorth Initiative, Kingsdale Advisors, and WeShall Investments Inc.

As the Chairman and Founder of WeShall Investments Inc, a private equity firm supporting BIPOC entrepreneurs, Wes Hall comes from humble beginnings in rural Jamaica.

Today, Wes is a staunch philanthropist, and deeply committed to community upliftment. He founded the ambitious and highly successful BlackNorth Initiative to help end systemic anti-Black racism in Canada. He has instructed Black Entrepreneurship & Leadership at the Rotman School of Management at the University of Toronto, a first-of-its-kind course in North America.

I'm honoured to be selected as Mosaic Institute's 2023 Peace Patron. Like Mosaic, I believe everyone has a right to be free from discrimination and prejudice. A society that proactively works to dismantle prejudice at all levels provides pathways to increased prosperity for us all.” – WES HALL
