In February, the 污污漫画 celebrates African Heritage (Black History) Month. Thanks to the Honourable Jean Augustine who introduced the motion in the House of Commons in December 1995, February is recognized as Black History Month across Canada. At the 污污漫画, a motion to recognize African Heritage (Black History) Month was carried in January 2002 and reaffirmed again in January 2004.
People of African descent have a rich legacy of cultural practices and traditions across generations. The Centre of Excellence for Black Student Achievement in collaboration with various community educators is excited to offer diverse learning experiences focused on honouring and affirming African, African-Caribbean and Black students' identities. These African-centred programming and learning experiences provide opportunities for students, staff, caregivers and community members. A menu is available for February.
