February is Black History Month!
Several events are set to take place in Guelph to celebrate Black History Month.
Black History Month celebrates the worldwide contributions made by people of African and Caribbean descent and February provides a month-long opportunity to learn more about these achievements, both globally and locally, through live performances that embrace this history (that includes the settlement, development, and growth of Canada), culture and daily impact on people’s lives, said a news release.

• Lantern Ale Re-IGNITED at Royal City Brewing Company — Wednesday Jan. 23
