Each February, Children’s Treatment Network (CTN) joins communities across Canada in recognizing Black History Month. This is an opportunity to honour the experiences, achievements and enduring contributions of Black communities. This year marks 30 years of national recognition, reflected in the 2026 theme, “30 Years of Black History Month: Honouring Black Brilliance Across Generations - from Nation Builders to Tomorrow’s Visionaries.”
Black History Month provides a meaningful opportunity for each of us to reflect on our role in advancing equity, diversity, inclusion, Indigeneity and accessibility (EDIIA), not only in February, but throughout the year. To honour CTN’s commitment to EDIIA and creating a vibrant community where everyone belongs, we are hosting a virtual unlearn poster activity for employees focused on anti-Black racism. There are many opportunities for everyone to learn, celebrate and engage by participating in community events, workshops and educational experiences.
