CONGRATULATIONS ROSEMARY
The Ontario Black History Society proudly congratulates our Past President, Rosemary Sadlier, on being awarded an Honorary Doctorate by Toronto Metropolitan University, to be conferred later this June.
This recognition reflects a lifetime of extraordinary leadership, advocacy, and service to Black Canadian history and heritage. As the longest-serving head of a provincial heritage organization focused on Black history in Canada, Rosemary Sadlier has dedicated decades to ensuring that the stories, contributions, and experiences of Black Canadians are recognized, preserved, and celebrated.
Among her many accomplishments, she initiated and championed the formal commemoration of February as Black History Month in Canada and, through 21 years of determined advocacy and resilience, helped secure the formal recognition of August 1 as Emancipation Day at every level of government across Canada.
Her unwavering commitment has helped transform Canada's historical landscape and deepen public understanding of our shared history.
The Ontario Black History Society is delighted to see this well-deserved honour bestowed upon Rosemary Sadlier and celebrates this recognition of her enduring contributions to Canada.
Congratulations, Rosemary!
