Continuing the Celebration of African Heritage

March 1, 2022

As we’ve celebrated African Heritage Month / Black History Month, we hope you’ve taken the time to listen to stories and perspectives from our Black sisters and brothers. February can be a month of focusing on key issues and stories, but we need to spend the whole year engaging and leaning in so we can take steps toward being better allies and and neighbours with our Black communities.
