Every February, people in Canada are invited to participate in Black History Month festivities and events that honour the legacy of Black Canadians and their communities.

Our school district will celebrate the many achievements of Black Canadians who, throughout history, have contributed greatly to make Canada the culturally diverse, compassionate and prosperous nation it is today.

Our 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.

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