The contributions and achievements of Black people have been celebrated in North America since 1926. Every February, Canada also celebrates Black History Month. This year, the theme of the celebration is “February and Forever: Celebrating Black History today and every day.” The Government of Canada invited all Canadians to learn more about the Black communities, their contributions to Canada, and how they continue to shape the story of Canada. The Black History Month virtual celebration will be held on Facebook, on February 17, 2022, at 7 pm.
