February is Black History Month—a time to honour Black voices, stories, and contributions that have shaped our communities and continue to inspire generations.
This year, Ottawa Public Library is especially excited to welcome award‑winning author André Alexis for a special free event. Joined in conversation by Ottawa poet, performer, and arts educator Jamaal Amir Akbari, this evening promises thoughtful discussion, storytelling, and insight from one of Canada’s most acclaimed literary voices.
Join us on February 5 at 7:00 pm at Bayview Yards for this Black History Month highlight. Registration is free—save your spot today!
