GUELPH -- An associate professor at the University of Guelph has created a website recognizing the contributions of Black Canadians. Black heritage has a rich and deep history in Canada, including contributions made in Guelph and Wellington County. Dr. Jade Ferguson, an associate professor at the University of Guelph, has dedicated much of her work over the past decade to getting to know the Black community that laid its roots down in the 1800s. “These stories are amazing, they’re inspiring and they speak to all that we need to do in terms of celebrating black achievement in Canada,” said Ferguson.
