Black History Month

February is Black History Month, which has been celebrated in Canada since the 1960's and officially recognized by Canadian Parliament in 1995, provides an opportunity to commemorate the many contributions which Canadians of African descent have made to the growth and development of Canada. It is also a time to celebrate our diversity and our respect for Canadians of all backgrounds.
