BLACK HISTORY MONTH 2027!
Black History Month is an annual celebration of Black heritage, accomplishments, and important events in the timeline of Black populations throughout history. Since 1995, BHM has been a nationally recognized month of celebratory and educational offerings for Canadians. It is also a means for Black Canadians and residents to connect with each other across the African diaspora.
Join us this February for our 11th year of Black History Month activities! We are also hiring a Photographer & Videographer, a Marketing and Communications Manager, and a Graphic Designer to help bring this year’s programming to life. Applications close Friday, October 30, 2026.
