February is Black History Month, a time to celebrate Black culture and history, and to reflect on the significant contributions that Black Canadians have made to building Canada. Every February, Canadians are invited to participate in learning opportunities, festivities and events that honour the legacy of Black Canadians, past and present.

The OCDSB has a strong commitment to equity and inclusive education. These principles are embedded in the learning environment and are important drivers in choosing relevant learning resources that speak to our students and help them feel accepted and valued.
