Since then, however, the black population has grown, although Tumbull was unsure of its current size. She knew the Association's membership is now 60. Members meet once a month and hold an annual dance in May. Part of any profits from the dance are directed toward charities such as the Oakville Trafalgar Memorial Hospital and The Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto. For informa- tion on the Association or its May 8th dance at the Galaxy 707 Club, call the Halton Multicultural Council at 842-2486. Tumbull said she has not encountered racism in Oakville, although she could not speak for other blacks in the community. Today, Oakville's black popula- tion is mainly made up of people from the Caribbean. According to Sylvia Turnbull, a member of the Canadian Caribbean Association of Halton, there were few black fami- lies in Oakville when she and her husband, Moslin and their three children arrived some 20 years ago. (A fourth son was born in Oakville.) In fact, she only knew of two others, one of them lcilda Bailey who formed the Association two years after Turnbull's arrival to give the black community in Oakville a place to socialize.
