Black Excellence Day

The New Westminster School District will be supporting Black Excellence Day this year. Black Excellence Day is a lead up to Black History Month and an opportunity to rejoice Black history and learn about Black stories, Black art and Black people, and a day to stand in solidarity with Black Canadians. As we celebrate Black Excellence we also want to highlight the contributions of Black Canadians and the ongoing civil rights struggle of Black Canadians as they often go unacknowledged in our history books and school curriculum. We look forward to you participating in Black Excellence Day on the 15th of January with your school communities.
