Bring On the Sunshine is an authentically African organization in the Waterloo Region, which offers wonderful opportunities for every student to become familiar with African culture, art, music, and stories. The workshop promotes a positive and accurate historical perspective of Black History that actually starts at the African continent. Their work is invaluable for every school in our region that is truly committed to implementing anti-racism strategies.
