This Black History Month, Historica Canada is thrilled to host a special evening of storytelling and music in celebration of the indefatigable spirit of Black women in Canada. In February, we celebrate the remarkable achievements of Black women in Canada as they create and cultivate change in communities across the country. Join us as some of Canada’s most beloved local luminaries and leaders share stories about the Black women who have inspired them. From personal anecdotes of heroes and mentors to historical accounts honouring the rich legacy of crusaders for change in this country, join us for an unforgettable evening of cocktails, canapés and powerful storytelling!
Hosted by CTV's Marci Ien, the night will feature a tour de force of Black Canadians who will each share a story:
