Black History Month:

As we celebrate black history month, each week we will focus on various accomplishments of Black Canadians through various disciplines including literature,  the arts, politics, athletics and more. Today we celebrated Lawrence Hill and his extraordinary accomplishments of one of Canada’s most cherished storytellers.

Renowned for his ability to weave complex history with deep humanity, Hill has reshaped the landscape of Canadian literature. From his masterpiece The Book of Negroes to the gripping narrative of The Illegal, his work challenges us to confront issues of race, identity, and belonging with empathy and courage.

As a member of the Order of Canada and a winner of the Commonwealth Writers’ Prize, Hill’s contributions go far beyond the page. He has become a vital voice in advocating for freedom of expression and Black history in Canada.

Only Grade 12 students who require grad requirements or program pre-reqs should visit Guidance today and Wednesday.  All other students should be settled in their classes.  If you had a semester 1 course issue that affects your semester 2 please come to Guidance today.  Otherwise, Course changes for semester 2 are not available.
