OBV Canada is a separately incorporated non-profit established in 2004. The organization works to "educate, promote, and support Black Canadians' participation in the political process at all levels". It was founded by Bromley Armstrong, Denham Jolly, Delores Lawrence, Eva R. Lloyd, and Cynthia Reyes. Operation Black Vote Canada applied for a Canadian Federal program to support Black community initiatives, and was rejected for not being led by enough Black individuals, despite the fact that the organizations leadership is solely Black.
