Black History Month
On December 14, 1995, Jean Augustine, the first black Canadian woman elected to Parliament and the Parliamentary Secretary to the Prime Minister, requested and received the unanimous agreement of the House of Commons on her motion to declare February Black History Month in Canada.
Black History Month is a time to honour the important contributions made by the Black community in settlement, growth, and development of all aspects of Canadian society.
In honour of Black History Month, the Town of Collingwood and the Collingwood Museum invite you to explore local and provincial resources celebrating Black history, culture, and voices.
