Black History Month 2021 ~ Thank you for helping make this year a success!
Despite hosting all events virtually this year and transition out of lockdown, our community rallied together to help make this one of the most eventful and engaging Black History Months for the CCAH. CCAH would like to thank our sponsors: TD Bank Group, Town of Oakville, Sheridan College, Halton Regional Police Service, Halton Catholic District School Board, Oakville Community Foundation and the Government of Canada. In addition, we would like to thank our community partners: B Town Sound, Caribbean Vibes Restaurant, Food for Life, Milton Public Library and Falling Motion. |
Thank you to His Worship Mayor Rob Burton for providing a 2021 Black History Month Proclamation. |
