*** Black History Month 2022 Launch: Programme ***

 

Our past informs our present. Our present enables our future. By remembering our history, celebrating our heritage, and looking to the future with expectation and courage, we will stay grounded, even as we soar to new heights.

Throughout this launch event, we will be showcasing individuals, groups, and resources that can benefit the African, Black and Caribbean communities within Waterloo Region. Some of the topics to be discussed include: mental and physical health, entrepreneurship, beauty, education, political and social activism. Over the two days, there will be interviews, lectures, speeches, and performances. All are welcome!

COVID-19 has forced us all to reimagine new ways to do things. We are taking all precautions to follow Health Canada guidelines and adhere to provincial recommendations.
