We welcome Diana Braithwaite and Chris Whiteley (to OLG on Thursday, February 6th at 10:30 am for our Grade 3/4- Grade 8 students) who will give us the story Sugar and Gold – The Story of the Underground Railroad in Canada is a lively, interactive performance that includes songs, and storytelling to tell the exciting history of the Underground Railroad in Canada.
Every February, Canadians are invited to participate in Black History Month festivities and events that honour the legacy of Black Canadians, past and present. The 2020 theme for Black History Month is: “Canadians of African Descent: Going forward, guided by the past.” This was inspired by the theme of the United Nations’ International Decade for People of African Descent (2015-2024).
