Message from our Chairperson
It is an absolute honor and privilege to have been selected as one of the 2021 Black History Month calendar laureates alongside outstanding individuals who during their journey have shown commitment, tenacity and longevity.
Black History Month (BHM) is an opportunity for Black people in Quebec to come together and celebrate their history, contributions, and successes. The BHM round table allows a platform to share various programs taking place within the month of February made up of cultural, empowerment, educational and historical activities put on by organizations and individuals concerned with promoting Black culture.
On behalf of the West Island Black Community Association, I would like to congratulate Michael Farkas and the entire Black History Round Table team (past and present) for 30 years of success.
Kemba Mitchell – WIBCA Chairperson

The West Island Black Community Association (WIBCA) in collaboration with community partners hosts their Black History Month virtual Book Launch & Talk featuring Celina Caesar-Chavannes moderated by Fimo Mitchell.
In Can You Hear Me Now?, Celina Caesar-Chavannes digs deep into her childhood and her life as a young Black woman entrepreneur and politician, and shows us that effective and humane leaders grow as much from their mistakes and vulnerabilities as from their strengths.
A copy of Celina Caesar-Chavannes book will be offered to the first 20 Zoom event registrations received.
