Postsecondary institutions are observing Black History Month/African Heritage Month with a variety of initiatives, celebrations, and resources. Several institutions, including Brock University, Humber Polytechnic, Saint Mary’s University, and York University invited their communities to engage with the Black Canadian community through events such as film screenings, workshops, cultural performances, sports games, and markets. Camosun College, Collège Montmorency, and SMU recommended resources such as podcasts, reading materials, and online library guides showcasing works by Black authors. Individuals from Brock and the University of Manitoba shared reflections on the significance of the month and the opportunity that it presents to share and better understand African and Black experiences and heritage in Canada.
