By embracing this valuable resource, educators and learners of all ages can actively engage with the diverse stories and achievements that have shaped the tapestry of Canada’s cultural heritage. Join us in celebrating and amplifying Black Canadian History as an integral part of Canadian History, as we collectively strive for a more inclusive and representative narrative in our educational spaces.

Your Donations Matter!

As demonstrated by #BlackedOutHistory from the Ontario Black History Society, the contributions and achievements of Black Canadians are often excluded from textbooks and curriculum. The Periodic Table of Canadian Black History is a tool that educators, students, and families can use to explore and celebrate the stories, voices, and accomplishments of Black Canadians. Please support our work as we create new resources and advocate for schools, families and communities in order to promote equitable and inclusive education.
