Our Mission
The mission of the Ontario Black History Society (OBHS) is to build a better future for the Black community in Ontario and Canada. First it is critical to acknowledge and understand all that has happened to this point.
If it weren’t for the contributions countless Black trailblazers who helped shape Canada, things like Black History Month and Ontario Black History Society may never have existed. Therefore, it is imperative that we remember and celebrate these men and women.
