Every February, the Richmond School District celebrates Black History Month, and the many achievements of Black Canadians who, throughout history, have contributed greatly to making Canada the culturally diverse, compassionate, and prosperous nation it is today.

Black History Month opens the door not only to conversations about the significant contributions of Black Canadians, but also about the impacts of racism, and our commitment to making the district a safe and respectful place for all members of our community.

Schools will actively engage in learning opportunities directly related to Black History Month, and will share their learning on their school websites and social media, so the wider community can learn and celebrate together.
