Black History Month
Every year Canadians are invited to take part in the festivities and events that honour the legacy of Black Canadians, past and present, during Black History Month.
This is a time to celebrate the many achievements and contributions of Black
Canadians, who, throughout history, have done so much to make Canada the culturally
diverse, compassionate and prosperous nation we know today. It is also an opportunity
for the majority of Canadians to learn about the experiences of Black Canadians
in our society, and the vital role this community has played throughout
our shared history.
Many sites, persons and events of national significance related to Black history
have been formally recognized by the Government of Canada as defining important
aspects of Canada's diverse but common heritage and identity. To learn more
about other commemorations of Black history in the system of national sites
of Canada, please visit the Parks
Canada Web site.
