Canada has a long and rich history of Black people contributing to its evolution, yet the complex history of Black Canadians is often left out of mainstream historical narratives. Check out our two NEW resources below: a video and an education guide exploring Black history in Canada.

Learn about the struggles, resilience, and triumphs of Black Canadians with the Citizenship Challenge's new Black History in Canada Education Guide, which offers lesson plans and critical thinking activities to bring the subject to life in the classroom!
