February is Black History Month. Each year, people across Canada celebrate and honour the legacy and many contributions of Black Canadians and their communities both past and present.

Celebrate with us by learning more about the history and achievements of Black Canadians, participating in events, and reading books by Black authors — including these titles by local writers.
