Black History Month starts today. Bond Academy will recognize, celebrate, educate and discuss the month in the whole school. It is essential to choose how we will continue to have these conversations, especially at a time in world history where our society is so fractured due to racism and inequity. 

Black History Month is an occasion to celebrate the many contributions of citizens of African descent to our country. Throughout the month of February, the staff and students at Bond Academy will be celebrating Black History Month, by exploring, learning, recognizing, and appreciating the contributions of our African Canadians in Canadian history, society and culture, past and the present. As well, we need to recognize our failures in Canadian history, in terms of racial inequality and discrimination, past and present.
