This edition of Kayak, featuring guest editor Natasha Henry, shares some amazing stories and examples of the ways Black Canadians built and shaped this country.

The United Nations’ International Decade for People of African Descent (2015 to 2024) encourages us to “promote a greater knowledge of and respect for the diverse heritage, culture and contribution of people of African descent to the development of societies” and this issue of Kayak helps to do just that.
