Join author André Alexis, author of Fifteen Dogs, as we celebrate the 30th year of Black History Month in Canada. 

Even though it’s snowy and cold, families are already planning for summer, looking for camps that are fun and close to home. City of Ottawa camps offer balanced activities led by trained staff in your neighbourhood, designed to keep children active, social and having fun.

Ottawa Public Health is reminding families across the city about the importance of keeping routine childhood vaccinations up to date and ensuring that immunization records are accurately reported.

The 2026 national theme is “30 Years of Black History Month: Honouring Black Brilliance Across Generations — From Nation Builders to Tomorrow’s Visionaries.”
