Black History Matters (BHM) is a PHT initiative that uses our expertise in creative,
play-based education to teach Canadian Black history.
Students are asked to question, comment and connect with the material that is
presented and see how it interconnects with the world around them.
In its pilot year, BHM reached over 3,000 students.
In the 2022-2023 season, reach doubled to over 6,000 students.
“This was one of the best speakers/presentations we have ever had at this school.
The presenter was incredible: passionate, direct, welcoming,
highly engaging, highly knowledgeable, a balance of serious and fun.
We loved the singing. 100+ 11-13 year olds were fully engaged for over an hour.
As a white educator, learning alongside the students,
I went through the full range of emotions.
I would LOVE to have her come back again.”
