Black History Month, otherwise known as Black Futures Month starts on Saturday, February 1, 2020. Calgary is home to a vibrant and diverse black community that spans continents, cultures and identities. This diversity brings a richness to our community and in celebration of Black History Month we have compiled a list of events for folks to attend in Calgary throughout February.
