Celebrating Black History Month: On the morning of February 13, 2025, we will host two school-wide assemblies featuring Halton Black Voices. The speakers, Braxton Dinh-Wignall and Iwi Eghobamien, will share their personal stories as Black coaches and mentors. They will also explore the rich history and significance of Black History Month as it pertains to Canada. Topics will include the ongoing fight against anti-Black racism, the importance of Black Student Unions in schools, and actionable steps students can take to combat discrimination. We look forward to engaging our students in a thoughtful presentation to foster a deeper understanding of these crucial issues.
