Celebrating Black History month with LINC daytime students

 

On February 11th, 2025, we had the privilege of celebrating Black History month with our entire LINC daytime student community. This event was a testament of our commitment to inclusivity and diversity, as we offered sessions in multiple languages to ensure everyone could participate and engage meaningfully. 

 

Our presentations were conducted in Mandarin, Farsi, Ukrainian, Arabic, English, and Spanish. This multilingual approach allowed us to reach a broad audience and ensure that the rich history and contributions of black individuals in Canada were accessible to all our students. Each session was thoughtfully prepared to highlight significant moments of black history, celebrate cultural achievements and foster a deeper understanding of the ongoing struggles and trials of black communities. 

 

One of the standout moments was the quiz and the interactive question and answer sessions where students eagerly asked questions and shared their thoughts. The engagement from the students was truly inspiring and it was heartwarming to see such a diverse group come together to honour and learn about black history. 

 

As we continue to celebrate and recognize the importance of Black History month, we are committed to fostering an inclusive environment where every voice is heard and valued. We look forward to more events to celebrate our diverse community and promote understanding and unity.

Our hearts are with the victims, their families, and the entire Filipino community. No one should ever feel unsafe. We condemn violence in all its forms and reaffirm our commitment to fostering a community rooted in respect, safety, and solidarity. We offer our sincerest condolences to the families and loved ones of the victims.  Let’s continue to uplift and support one another.
