CELEBRATING
BLACK HISTORY!

The theme for 2024 is
BLACK EXCELLENCE! 

 Throughout the month of February, the contributions of the local Black Community in Collingwood and area were featured through displays,
stories and videos
at Heritage Community Church. 

Recognition was given to those who had been overlooked, denied and unknown. Accolades were also given to those who persevered, achieved their goals and continue to be mentors.
