This year’s theme is Community & Legacy: Honoring Our Past While Building Our Future.

The Fraser Valley Heritage Elevation Society in collaboration with the City of Abbotsford and Abbotsford Libraries, FVRL is honored to host the 2026 Black History Month Celebration, a vibrant event dedicated to recognizing the resilience, achievements, and cultural contributions of Black peoples in Canada. This year’s celebration will feature a dynamic presentation on Canadian Black history, traditional African dance performances, drumming, and storytelling that highlight the richness and diversity of African heritage.

The event aims to promote cultural awareness, preserve African heritage, and create meaningful opportunities for dialogue and connection. Through music, movement, history, and shared experiences, participants will gain a deeper understanding of the historical contributions of Black peoples in Canada and the vital role they continue to play in shaping our communities.
