February is Black History Month in North America, and recognizes both the history and contributions of Black Canadians and Americans in our shared and individual national histories. It is a chance to celebrate, to educate and to acknowledge our collective responsibility to continue to move towards equality for all.
Please take a moment to watch these videos, read these stories and articles and learn more about the importance of Black Canadians in our history and modern life.
