Black History Month

🌟 February is Black History Month 🌟

The national theme for this year is “Black Legacy and Leadership: Celebrating Canadian History and Uplifting Future Generations”. This is a special opportunity to acknowledge and honour the achievements, resilience, and significant contributions of Black Canadians towards the shaping of our country, while also paving the way for a more equitable and inclusive future for generations to come. May our efforts to support, listen, and uplift one another span beyond this month so that we may always strive for a better, brighter future.
