Exploring Black History in our Backyard

Presented by the Canadian Caribbean Association of Halton

Discover the rich stories, voices and heritage of Black communities in Oakville and area. Ideal for high school students and adults! Ages 13 and up.

Join Oakville Public Library and the Canadian Caribbean Association of Halton (CCAH) for an engaging virtual session that brings local Black history to life.

Together, we’ll explore community perspectives and lived experiences that highlight the longstanding presence, contributions and resilience of Black residents. This online format allows us to dive deeper than a traditional walking or cycling tour, offering a welcoming space for learning, reflection, and connection from wherever you are.
