February is Black History Month in Canada and this year’s theme is “February and Forever: Celebrating Black History Today and Every Day.” Black History Month is about honouring and celebrating the achievements and contributions that Black people have made and continue to make within Canadian history, culture, and society.

BC Health Regulators encourages regulated health professionals in BC to continue learning about this history and anti-racism strategies to ensure Black Canadians receive equitable access to high quality health care.
