Canada History Week 2023: Black Achievement in Canada
Canada History Week provides all Canadians with the opportunity to learn more about the people and events that have shaped the country we know today. By sharing stories of extraordinary achievement and inspiring engagement throughout the week, this event encourages Canadians to improve their knowledge of Canada’s history, civics, and public policy.
This year, Canada History Week highlights the History of Black Achievement in Canada. The topics covered in this magazine and the accompanying videos only begin to scratch the surface of Black Canadian History, but we hope they can be used as a starting point to learn more about the impressive achievements of Black Canadians. The week aims to encourage Canadians to reflect upon and engage with Canada’s past, and in so doing, to better understand our diverse history and the role Black Canadians have had in shaping this country’s identity.
