Honour Viola Desmond day with a free community screening that celebrates her history and impact on culture today. Learn about Desmond and her fellow Black Canadians who championed civil rights in court in Roger McTair’s Journey to Justice.

Enjoy an intimate Sunday at Nancy’s salon in Montreal, where she teaches young Black girls to love and care for their natural hair. Viola Desmond may be the face on the ten dollar bill, but her legacy is priceless.

Both @SavannahRe and @kairo_mclean were again nominated. We profiled these Scarborough natives in 2022 and watched them each take home JUNO Awards. Wishing them all the best this year. ⁠
