Team members at Parkland on Eglinton West hosted a vibrant celebration of Black culture and history, featuring a diverse range of displays that highlighted a rich African Canadian heritage. Among those contributing to the celebration was Abimbola Ogunjobi, a member of the housekeeping team at Parkland on Eglinton West, originally from Lagos, Nigeria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>For Abimbola, Black History Month is a time to honour the strength and achievements of Black individuals across the world, and it reminds her that she too is a part of that story. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She takes great pride in her legacy, blending her Nigerian roots with her Canadian dreams.
