National Seniors Day: Honouring All Elders in BC

Honouring Our Black Elders

To our elders, we offer our deepest thanks. You carried the weight of a world that often refused to see your worth, yet you never stopped building, teaching, and loving.

Through discrimination, hardship, and closed doors, you opened paths for us. Because of you, the Black community in BC, and across Canada, stands stronger, wiser, and closer to its becoming.

In the spirit of Ubuntu you instilled in us, I am because we are, we honor the truth that our strength and wisdom are rooted in your courage, guidance, and legacy.

Your resilience and vision light our way each day, and we hold deep gratitude for the lives you lived and the future you made possible.
