💖 Today, we celebrate the power of love — love for our families, our friends, and our communities. But love is more than chocolates and roses. It’s showing up. It’s caring deeply. It’s making sure every child has the chance to shine. That’s why we’re also marking Have A Heart Day — a day to stand with First Nations children and youth, advocating for equity, opportunity, and brighter futures. Every child holds limitless potential. Together, we can be the spark that helps them thrive. Happy day of love! 💖

Black History Month is a time to listen, reflect, and take action to build a future rooted in justice. It is also a time to recognize and celebrate the rich culture, heritage, and contributions of the Black community. Throughout February, we will continue to learn and honour the legacy of Black people in Canada. Whether it's reading books by Black authors, attending local events, or amplifying Black voices, there are so many ways to engage. What will you do this month to celebrate Black history month?
