“February is Black History Month – a time to reflect on and celebrate the remarkable contributions of Black Albertans to the history and success of our province.

“From the grit and determination of Alberta’s early Afro-heritage pioneers to the entrepreneurial spirit and leadership of today’s trailblazers, Black Albertans have played a vital role in building and strengthening our communities. Their stories are a testament to the power of hard work, perseverance and commitment to excellence.

“As we celebrate Black History Month, we honour the achievements of those who have shaped Alberta’s story and look ahead with confidence to the contributions yet to come.

“Let us continue to build a province where everyone has the opportunity to succeed and where we uphold the freedoms and principles that make Alberta strong.”
