Black History Month
In February, we celebrate Black History Month. During this time every year, Canadians are invited to take part in events that honour the achievements and contributions of Black Canadians who, throughout history, have helped to make Canada the culturally diverse, compassionate and prosperous nation we know today. At Owen we will continue to learn about the experiences of many inspirational people in history by sharing this information in our classrooms, library and over the morning announcements.
