Every February, Canadians are invited to celebrate and honor the contributions of their friends of African descent. From February 1st to 28th, we host a series of engaging activities, including a Black History Month Launch, a symposium/summit, a family-oriented celebration, and the ISSAMBA SHOWCASE Festival.
