During Black History Month more than two years ago, in February 2024, the Ontario Conservative government announced it would introduce mandatory curriculum expectations focused on the history of Black Canadians for Grades 7, 8 and 10, with new learning to start in September 2025.
The government then postponed this and other curricular changes.
In February 2026 (during Black History Month), the Ministry of Education released the new curriculum expectations, now to come into effect this coming September.
