We had such a great time at the Black History Month Gala hosted by the Afro-Heritage Association of Sudbury and the Northern Ontario Black Economic Empowerment Program at the Steelworkers Hall this past weekend! Along with some of our friends from Spark Employment Services, we had an amazing evening full of music, dancing, dinner, and stimulating conversation with some amazing members of our community. It was an incredible night of dynamic panel discussion on cross-cultural dialogue, exploring unity, individuality, and progress themes. This engaging conversation aims to break down barriers, foster meaningful relationships, and inspire attendees to embrace inclusivity. Thank you AHA and NOBEEP!
