The Calgary Black Chambers serves as mentors and advocates, fostering the growth of great students and future professionals. Its four pillars are: Mentorship, Scholarship, Fellowship and Advocacy. 

Contributing to the vision of a community free from homophobia and transphobia, the Calgary Black Chambers Onward Onyx Queer Award was established to affirm, empower, and support Black 2SLGBTQIA+ students to live their lives authentically.
