Meet our community ambassadors

Meet some of the people that we are working with in the community to bring COVID-19 services to you.

Dr Latif Murji grew up in Scarborough. His family is originally from Tanzania but his Swahili is not so good. He also launched the VaxFacts Clinic, a judgment-free phone line where people can speak to a doctor about COVID-19 vaccination.

I am part of the High Priority Community Strategy Team and an Outreach Worker. I was born and raised in Canada to Trinidadian parents. I am part of the West Hill community and understand firsthand some of the challenges facing our community members. As I am part of the Caribbean community, I am a person that community members can identify with. Culture is a huge part of identity, and it is important to have culture appropriate approaches when possible.

How I can help

I can help by providing information on supports available to community members (COVID related or general).
