Black Legacy and Leadership 
May 1, 2025
Parkland on the Glen and Arborstone Enhanced Care
February was packed with events and activities celebrating Black History Month (African Heritage Month in Nova Scotia) with the theme Black Legacy and Leadership: Celebrating Canadian History and Uplifting Future Generations. Team members at Parkland on the Glen 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 the Glen, originally from Lagos, Nigeria.
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.
She takes great pride in her legacy, blending her Nigerian roots with her Canadian dreams. As she looks ahead, Abimbola hopes to become a Canadian citizen, start a family, and build a future filled with love and happiness.
The Influence of Black Music
Black music has been a powerful form of cultural expression for generations, shaping communities, inspiring change and bringing people together across the globe.
Arborstone Enhanced Care was thrilled to welcome Sanmi from Conga Global, who led an energetic and interactive African Drumming Workshop. Residents and team members connected through rhythm, creating unforgettable moments together.
