School districts are invited to join Burnaby School District (SD41), the Ninandotoo Society and BC Black Educational Leaders Association to celebrate Black Excellence Day, a virtual event on Thursday, January 15, from 10 –11:30 am PST. Black Excellence Day is a day to stand in solidarity with Black Canadians and honour the rich history, contributions, achievements, resilience and joy of Black people.
Each participating district will receive a link to the recorded program, which will remain accessible until the end of Black History Month. The program offers an opportunity to learn about Black history, art and lived experiences and will feature artists, athletes, educators and other leaders in their fields.
To register for this event, please complete the Black Excellence Day registration form by Friday, January 9. Email Beth.Applewhite@burnabyschools.ca if you have any questions.
