VIDEO:EMSB kicks off Black History Month
As featured on
Black History Month programming for the English Montreal School Board (EMSB) officially kicked off on Feb. 6 at Parkdale Elementary School, 1475 Deguire St. in St. Laurent. Not only was it a time for students to learn about the many contributions Black Canadians have made towards the history of Canada, but it was also an occasion to honour one of their own. Dr. Horace I. Goddard was a principal at Parkdale Elementary from 1990 to 1993 where he was later promoted to the EMSB head office as the Director of Community Services. With many family members in attendance, his legacy was forever immortalized at a school near and dear to him.
