Black History Month is a time to reflect on and celebrate the rich history, achievements, and contributions of Black individuals in our communities and around the world. It is a reminder of the resilience, strength, and creativity that have shaped cultures, societies, and movements throughout history. For 2025, the Government of Canada has announced the theme: "Black Legacy and Leadership: Celebrating Canadian History and Uplifting Future Generations." This theme emphasizes the importance of reflecting on the historical contributions of Black Canadians while also focusing on empowering and inspiring future generations.

Here at Waypoints, we acknowledge the ongoing work to address systemic racism, inequality, and injustice. We commit to fostering an inclusive environment where all individuals, regardless of their background, can find support, empowerment, and respect.

This month, we honour the legacies of those who paved the way for progress and continue to advocate for a more just and equitable future for all.
