Join us in February as we celebrate Black History Month – honouring the legacy, contributions and lived experiences of Canadians of African descent who have helped define Canada.
February is Black History Month—A month to honour the rich legacy, remarkable contributions, and lived experiences of Canadians of African descent who have helped shape our communities, workplaces and nation.
This year’s theme is “Black Excellence: Contributions to the Canada Labour Force.” From building vital infrastructure to excelling in fields like education, healthcare, arts and technology, Black Canadians have been at the forefront of progress, innovation, resistance and resilience. Their contributions aren’t just moments in history—they’re milestones that are shaping movements for labour equity and workplace inclusion.
At CapU, we are committed to fostering spaces where learning, dialogue and action intersect. As a University community, we have a responsibility to learn from the past and listen to the stories of Black labour leaders and workers who have challenged systemic barriers and fostered change.
This month, we invite you to participate in events that celebrate these contributions.
