Join the Josiah Henson Museum of African-Canadian History, the Buxton National Historic Site & Museum, and the Chatham-Kent Black Historical Society & Black Mecca Museum to honour the start of Black History Month and learn about what is happening in Chatham-Kent throughout the month.
Stay tuned to the DEIJ website for details about events happening throughout February to honour Black History Month.
The Municipality has partnered with CK Pride and community member Joel Emery to distribute free 2SLGBTQIA+ ally signs for local businesses, organizations, and residents. A brochure that goes with the sign has resources and information about how to support 2SLGBTQIA+ communities. Signs are meant to be displayed in visible places to show support during CK Pride week (Aug 11-19) and all year long.
Signs are available at all Municipal Service Centres, at Bill’s Place for pick up on Aug 10th or 16th 3:30-6:30PM, August 26th 1:00-3:00PM or by emailing info@ckpride.com
More information is available at the CK Pride Facebook page.
The June 2023 DEIJ calendar is now available. Click on the image below to open the calendar.
Use this calendar to inform programming, communications, to better understand colleagues and the communities we serve, and to avoid scheduling events on significant days.
I am updating the Outlook DEIJ calendar to match this hard copy, for folk who have access. And, I continue to share local DEIJ-related events on the DEIJ Employee Portal you may participate in or share.
This month, we encourage colleagues to learn about Pride and share what actions you're taking this month and year-round to make the Municipality a safe, inclusive, and equitable workplace and community for 2SLGBTQIA+ community members.
