Each February, Black History Month invites us to celebrate, reflect, and learn. It’s a time to honour the achievements, stories, and lasting contributions of Black communities in Waterloo Region, across Canada, and around the world.
It’s also an opportunity to deepen our understanding of Black history and culture — past and present — and to recognize the brilliance, resilience, and creativity that continue to shape our communities today.
Explore events, reading lists, and curated resources below, and join us in celebrating Black history all year long.

About the Event
Children often have a lot going on, with a multitude of questions running through their minds. Enjoy a warm and inclusive afternoon with local Community Changemaker Grace Ibrahima, writer of the book White Questions, Black Answers: Helping Kids to be Seen and Heard. Grace will be Auntie for the afternoon and answer all respectful questions young participants have about skin colour, racism, bigotry, discrimination, and general curiousity.
