Celebrate Black History Month with Events Across the GTA
30 January 2019 - by YMCA of Greater Toronto
Black History Month is a tremendous opportunity to celebrate Black Canadians who paved the way for others through new inventions, remarkable achievements, or acts of courage and bravery.
This February 2019, we celebrate the contributions of Black Canadians in education, medicine, art, culture, public service, economic development, politics and human rights.
By recognizing opportunities to learn about and share with each other, we strengthen and enriche our communities in all our diversity and cultivate hope for a positive future for generations to come.
