Feb 1: February is Black history month, although teaching Black History in culturally responsive ways occurs 365 days a year.
February 1, 2023, will mark the 28th anniversary of the celebration of Black History Month in Canada. This year’s theme is “Ours to Tell.” OSSTF/FEESO encourages all educators to raise their awareness, reflect, and amplify the experiences of Black Canadians in their daily practice.
Ways to celebrate Black History and Culture can include,
-
supporting Black businesses,
-
celebrating with cross-curricular activities,
-
sponsoring or donating to a Black community initiative,
-
reviewing OSSTF/FEESO’s publication – Canadian Black Lives,
-
learning about Black innovators, and
-
exploring your local Black historical sites.
