A Time for Celebration and Reflection
As February arrives, ITI Canada is excited to celebrate Black History Month. This period is not only special for honoring the achievements and contributions of Black individuals and communities but also serves as a pivotal time for reflection. Furthermore, it offers a unique opportunity to learn about and appreciate the depth of Black history in Canada and around the world.
Education and Awareness
Recognizing the critical role of education in fostering awareness and appreciation, ITI Canada proudly supports two important websites: the BC Black History Awareness Society and Black Peoples History of Canada. These platforms are packed with resources for anyone eager to explore the rich stories and history of Black Canadians. They provide a wealth of insights, educational materials, and engaging content, making them invaluable tools for learning.
BC Black History Awareness Society
Specifically, the BC Black History Awareness Society‘s website stands out as a comprehensive resource. It features a variety of educational tools, including a quiz, detailed timeline of significant events, and a dedicated events area. These elements are thoughtfully designed to inspire and engage visitors, encouraging a deeper exploration of the profound history and impact of Black communities in British Columbia and Canada.
Black Peoples History of Canada
Similarly, the Black People’s History of Canada project, backed by the Department of Canadian Heritage and Dalhousie University, aims to cast a spotlight on African Canadian history and heritage. This ambitious initiative seeks to address the educational gap in Black Canadian history by developing new curricula for schools. Moreover, these efforts ensure that Black history is taught across Canada. This thereby, fostering a understanding and appreciation among students and people of all backgrounds.
Our Commitment to Black History
Our support for these websites underscores our belief in the significance of Black History Month 2024, in shaping our nation. By promoting these resources, we aspire to contribute to a broader understanding and appreciation of Black heritage.

Knowledge: The Foundation of Progress
