This February, join us in celebrating the many achievements and contributions of Black Canadians and their communities who, throughout history, have done so much to make Canada the culturally diverse, compassionate, and prosperous nation it is today.

The 2021 theme for Black History Month is: “The Future is Now”. This is a chance to celebrate and acknowledge the transformative work that Black Canadians and their communities are doing.

Black History Month is about honouring the enormous contributions that Black people have made, and continue to make, in all sectors of society. It is about celebrating resilience, innovation, and determination to work towards a more inclusive and diverse Canada—a Canada in which everyone has every opportunity to flourish.
