Consultation has concluded
Each February, we participate in Black History Month events and engage in learning opportunities that honour the legacy of Black Canadians.
But this month is more than recognizing the accomplishments of the past; it’s also about recognizing the talents and brilliance of today and celebrating the promise and potential of tomorrow.
As you may have seen, throughout December and January, I asked the HWDSB community to join me on this platform and share what brings them joy.
This month, I invite members of the Black communities across HWDSB to share stories and experiences about what Black Joy means to you!
I also invite members of all HWDSB communities to share their ideas of Black achievement and excellence!
