Every February, people across Canada participate in Black History Month events and festivities that give us all the chance to celebrate the diversity and achievements of Black people in Canada.
This year’s theme is about reflecting and celebrating the contributions of Black Canadians in shaping our country while paving the way for a more equitable and inclusive future. In Canada, diversity is a fact, but inclusion is a choice; for far too long Black communities in Canada have been faced with anti-Black and systemic racism.
Twelfth Avenue students will participate in a variety of activities that celebrate the proud heritage of the Black community.
