Discrimination

"By promoting an increased knowledge of our past, Black History Month in February is an excellent way to help shape the Canada of tomorrow; a country of diversity, tolerance, cooperation and democracy," said Jean Augustine, Secretary of State (Multiculturalism) ( Status of Women), in celebrating the contribution of Black Canadians to the development of Canada. She also highlighted the fact that March 21 was the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination. For more than 10 years, the March 21 Campaign has successfully mobilized youth across Canada to rise up and to take a stand against racism.
