The Guelph Black Heritage Society (GBHS) will be celebrating its 3rd Annual Black HERITAGE Month in February 2023. This month will commemorate past and present accomplishments within the Black community and set sights on our bright future ahead. While we will continue to acknowledge the resilience and bravery of those who came before us, we must recognize that Black history and experiences are much more than the narrative of enslavement. The GBHS calls on the community to honour our past, celebrate today, and look toward the future.
