February is Black History Month. It is an opportunity for all of us to celebrate the achievements and contributions of Black Canadians and their communities to our country. It is also an opportunity to reflect on ways to eradicate systemic racism in our institution and beyond.

Celebrating Black History Month with pride and passion! U SPORTS stands united in honouring the achievements, resilience, and invaluable contributions of Black athletes and trailblazers. Together, we stand united in our commitment to diversity and inclusivity. 🏀🏈⚽ #BlackHistoryMonth #UnityInDiversity

Proud to be joined by so many students, faculty, staff and members of the #UWaterloo community as we walked together around Ring Road. While we participate in today’s events, it is important to remember that there is still a long road ahead towards Truth and Reconciliation.
