Black History Month takes place each February and is an opportunity to honour the legacy of Black Canadians and communities across our country. At CHEO, we are recognizing this month by sharing a variety of resources and education opportunities for CHEO staff and medical staff, their families and our community. 

We continue to share resources, events and information on our website and on social media — follow us on Twitter for latest updates. 

Do you have great resources you’d like to share with families? Is your organization doing important work in supporting Black Canadians and educating on Black History Month, that you’d like others to know about? We'd love to hear from you and help to amplify Black voices. Email us at webmaster@cheo.on.ca and we will continue to add recommended books, websites, podcasts and videos here.

  • For kids — Ottawa Public Library
