Caledon Acknowledges Black History Month with Business Spotlights and Workshops

February is Black History Month, a time to reflect on and celebrate the contributions of Black Canadians, the resilience of Black communities, and the ongoing journey toward equity and inclusion. This year’s theme set out by the Government of Canada, “30 Years of Black History Month: Honouring Black Brilliance Across Generations,” highlights the enduring legacy of Black Canadians, from historical change-makers to today’s innovators and visionaries.

Across Canada there will be workshops, seminars, artistic performances, and community events taking place throughout February. These include intergenerational storytelling workshops, cultural dance and drumming education sessions, and presentations that explore history, identity, and community leadership.
‍

Local residents and business owners are encouraged to engage with these events, which provide opportunities for learning, connection, and celebration. As Caledon continues to grow as an inclusive, diverse community, Black History Month offers a meaningful moment to honour stories of contribution, courage, and community across generations.
