February is recognized as Black History Month, a time to reflect on and celebrate the achievements and contributions of Black individuals and communities. The theme for 2025 is “Black Legacy and Leadership: Celebrating Canadian History and Uplifting Future Generations”.

At RRC Polytech, we recognize the importance of Black history and culture in shaping a more inclusive and vibrant community. We are committed to creating a space where everyone feels welcome and valued.

Ways to learn more and celebrate Black History Month:

RRC Polytech campuses are located on the lands of Anishinaabe, Ininiwak, Anishininew, Dakota, and Dené, and the National Homeland of the Red River Métis.

We recognize and honour Treaty 3 Territory Shoal Lake 40 First Nation, the source of Winnipeg’s clean drinking water. In addition, we acknowledge Treaty Territories which provide us with access to electricity we use in both our personal and professional lives.
