For the month of February, there are many activities and resources that you can tap into to learn more. Check out the Government of Canada’s website to learn more about Black History Month. There you can find out past and present people that have helped shape and change our country. Let us do our part to bring change, to recognize, love, and stop hate.
My husband’s grandparents immigrated from Jamaica to Canada. We have three children, I want to ensure they are educated about their heritage.

This month I will read, “Roots: The Saga of the American Family” by Alex Hayley.
