February is Black History Month |
Every February Canadians recognize Black History Month. To learn more, visit this website by the Government of Canada.
At OHCOW we also recognize the historical and ongoing impact of race and racism on health at work and beyond, especially brought to mind by the disproportionate impact of COVID-19 on essential, frontline and healthcare workers of colour, which we continue to strive to prevent in workplaces across the province.
Several of our partner organizations have been developing invaluable resources for Black History Month for both workers and employers, including:
*Some CCDI resources incur additional cost for non-members.
