During African Heritage Month, people in Canada celebrate the many achievements and contributions of Black Canadians and their communities who, throughout history, have done so much to make Canada a culturally diverse, compassionate, and prosperous country.

Did you know? The first Black History Month in Nova Scotia was observed in 1988 and later renamed African Heritage Month in 1996.
