February and Forever: Celebrating Black History today and every day

In 1995, after a motion by politician Jean Augustine, representing the riding of Etobicoke—Lakeshore in Ontario, Canada’s House of Commons officially recognized February as Black History Month and honored Black Canadians.

Since then, people in Canada are invited every February to participate in Black History Month festivities and events that honor the legacy of Black Canadians and their communities. Below are some events we have curated for this year’s BHM celebrations.
