Today, February 1st, marks the beginning of Black History Month. The 2023 theme for Black History Month is: “Ours to tell”. This theme represents both an opportunity to engage in open dialogue and a commitment to learning more about the stories Black communities in Canada have to tell about their histories, successes, sacrifices and triumphs. During Black History Month, we celebrate the many achievements and contributions that Black Canadians have made historically and continue to make in all sectors of society today.

The Greater Sudbury Police Service is dedicated to protecting and serving our community while exemplifying our RICH values of Respect, Inclusivity, Courage and Honesty and we want to continue having respectful dialogues to build public trust through community engagement and transparency.

Through collaborations with our community partners such as ULU, the Nigerian Community Association of Greater Sudbury, the Afro-Heritage Association of Sudbury as well as our GSPS Diversity Advisory Committee, we continue to learn about the rich history of Black people and Black communities through open dialogues and teamwork.

We are committed this month and every month, to make Greater Sudbury an inclusive, compassionate and respectful place to live, work and play.
