Happy Black Women’s History celebration. At the Junior Centre, we proudly celebrate the strength, creativity, and legacy of Black women past, present, and future.
From the classroom to the stage, from paintbrush to performance, Black women continue to shape culture, inspire communities, and lead with excellence.
This is more than history it’s living impact, happening right here at the Junior Centre.

In recognition of Child Abuse Prevention Month, we reaffirm our shared responsibility to protect, support, and advocate for the safety and well-being of every child.
Every child deserves to grow up in a safe, nurturing environment where they are valued, respected, and heard. By raising awareness, strengthening families, and promoting positive relationships, we can help prevent abuse and create a brighter future for our children.
Let us work together to be vigilant, supportive, and proactive in safeguarding the lives of our young ones.
Protect a child. Support a family. Strengthen a community.
