PLEASE PROMOTE WIDELY ACROSS YOUR NETWORKS! Our very own Marie Clarke-Walker is featured in this learning guide about Black History Month. It is a fantastic accomplishment for our sister and for our community. Whether you are a teacher or a parent or a mentor, it is important to teach our children about their history. There is no minimum age requirement to teaching our youth about their history!
This program is suitable for grades 4-8.

This program will inspire students and teachers to become fully engaged in celebrating Black History Month while at the same time, developing students’ media literacy skills. The questions are designed to encourage students to research, and then determine their position on a variety of subjects through the activities. The student workbook highlights the accomplishments of people from many walks of life—some well known; others you may not be familiar with.
We hope this program will be a valuable resource in your classroom as you teach this important aspect of Canadian history to your students this February or anytime throughout the school year.
Your classroom package will include:
• 25 copies of the Student Activity workbook
• 1 Teacher Resource Guide - pdf format
April 22nd, 2025 is Earth Day. The Coalition of Black Trade Unionists, Ontario Canada (CBTU), the Enrich Project and the Toronto Environmental Alliance call upon labour and the community to reconnect with and build a relationship to the earth. Why? It’s simple – the extraordinary benefits of time spent outdoors should be available to all. Outdoors, is a great big, beautiful earth, where children and adults can learn about themselves through the experience of exploring in nature. One cannot love what one doesn’t know. If we want children to become adults who will care for and protect the earth, we must encourage a strong relationship with the natural world.
The Coalition of Black Trade Unionists (CBTU)-Canada stands in solidarity with all Canadian workers affected by the 47th US President’s recent application of 25% tariffs on all automobiles and auto parts made in Canada.
