Black History Month 2026-Celebrating Black Excellence.

This Black History Month, we honour those who paved the way. We celebrate those who continue to show up with excellence through their work, mentorship, advocacy, and leadership. We celebrate their achievements, lived/living expertise, and the impact of their contributions across systems and communities.

Black excellence continues to shape health, research, and social justice—strengthening systems, advancing equity, and improving outcomes for generations to come. These contributions open doors, expand possibilities, and create pathways for others to follow.

We would like to highlight some organizations. They continue to advocate for equity, justice, and accountability across health, research, and social systems. Although not an exhaustive list, here are some of the amazing organizations doing great work:

• Black Health Equity Lab
• Citizenship for the Advancement of Community Development
• D.A.S Innovative Hub
• Canadian Black Scientist Network
• Black Physicians Association of Ontario
• Foundations for Black Communities
• Black Health Equity Alliance
• Black Founder’s Network
• Black Health Alliance
• CAFCAN
