Past Events
The LIP often has various projects and activities on the go. Below are some examples of activities the LIP is collaborating on to deliver:
Black History Month 2021
North Bay & District Multicultural Centre (NBDMC), in partnership with North Bay and Area Local Immigration Partnership (NBLIP), Réseau de soutien à l'immigration francophone du Nord de l'Ontario (RSIFNO) and Equity and Inclusion North Bay (EINB) is pleased to share the video of a virtual bilingual round table in recognition of Black History Month 2021.
Under the theme “Our Shared History”, this event emphasized the participation and contributions of Black communities to Canadian society and honored their historical legacy. Our panelists discuss African history in a Canadian context and how people of African descent have shaped Canada’s heritage and identity.
Black History Month is an opportunity for Canadians to recognize the innumerable accomplishments and contributions of Black Canadians who, throughout history, have greatly contributed to making Canada the multicultural and compassionate nation in which we live today.
On February 3rd, 2021 our panelists discussed African history in a Canadian context and how people of African descent have shaped Canada’s heritage and identity.
