African Canadian Heritage Month Session with The Honourable Jean Augustine
It was a distinguished honour

of Etobicoke-Lakeshore and Parkdale-High Park. Dr. Augustine was the first
Black woman elected to the House of Commons as a member of Etobicoke-Lakeshore.
As a Parliamentarian, Dr. Augustine proposed that February be officially
recognized as Black History Month in Canada. Her motion passed unanimously. Students met the Honourable Jean Augustine on February 9, 2022 through a virtual session moderated by Trustee Lubinski.
