Join us on for “Awakened Voices Narratives” performances on Saturday, February 14, 2026 at 3PM at Salem Chapel British Methodist Episcopal Church 92 Geneva Street, St. Catharines, Ontario L2R 4N2.The CWBC’s Awakened Voices Narrative is a compelling series of events that bring to life the rich and often untold stories of Canadian Black history. Through a blend of artistic performances, historical narratives, and community engagement, these events aim to educate, inspire, and foster a deeper understanding of the Black experience in Canada.
Awakened Voices serves as a platform for sharing the powerful tales of Black settlers, their struggles, triumphs, and enduring legacies. It highlights the contributions of individuals like the Reverend Josiah Henson, founder of the Dawn Settlement, Thornton and Lucie Blackburn, Mary Ann Shadd, Richard Pierpoint, a former soldier and landowner, and the residents of the Queen’s Bush Settlement, including John and Ida Little. These narratives are not just recitations of the past; they are living testimonies delivered through the emotive mediums of spoken word, poetry, music, and visual arts.
