Throughout the month of February, Canadians honour Black History by celebrating and reflecting on the lived experiences, stories, and accomplishments of Black Canadians.
According to the recent census, our community has seen a small rise in residents who identify a member of a racialized group. Embracing diversity and making strides to foster inclusivity strengthens our community and supports a rich culture.
I encourage you take time this month, and at any time of the year, to learn more about Black histories and how Black Canadians have shaped our community and our Country.
Our local Library has some wonderful resources available. This month, they’re hosting a Black History Month story time for children on February 13 at 6:00 p.m. Additionally, they have organized a Black history month virtual museum tour and display from February 13 to 17. These are great local resources to learn and reflect on Black history and experience.
Additional resources for Black History Month are also available on the Canadian Heritage website.
