Greetings to all teachers, presenters, organizers, sponsors, parents and students. As part of the provincially recognized and supported Black history month acknowledgement in Alberta, The Black Teachers Association in collaboration with many Alberta BSAs are proud to announce the 2nd Annual Alberta Black Student Association Summit!
Last year's event was an incredible success with over 14 schools represented and 300 student attendees. The event was hosted online with special guests such as MLA David Shepherd, The Hon. Mayor Amarjeet Sohi, The University of Alberta BSA, YEG the Come Up, Alain Intwali, The Black Owned Market, and the Black Teachers Association of Alberta. This year will be our first in person summit but we will be hosting some sessions so that our family in Calgary and Edmonton can connect and interact with each other.
The BSA Summit is an opportunity to connect our youth with each other, their schools, their teachers, and our community. The opportunities for our youth to converse about various topics related to positive representation, affirmation, mental health, activism, anti-Black racism, Black Excellence and Black history are sometimes not readily available in education. As an organizing committee our hope is to engage our youth in these topics as well as to connect them with other youth across the province, as well as providing various support from the Black community and allies in Alberta.
The event will take place Saturday Feb. 25, 2023, from 9am-2pm. Our host school in Edmonton is M.E.Lazerte and our Host School in Calgary will be determined in the upcoming weeks. Students will need to contact their teacher sponsors to register for this event, they will be provided with a space at the host school to participate in the eve

Students will need to contact their teacher sponsors to register for this event, they will be provided with a space at the host school to participate in the event, a meal will be provided by the school admin as well, and sponsors for schools in financial need will be provided.
At this point in time we are garnering interest and looking to connect with all high school and Jr High BSA’s in the province and social justice groups as well.

Where is our community in Alberta? A question asked by many teachers, students, parents and community members. The answer is everywhere! We've taken the time to compile some great resources that can connect our youth to each other in the province. Each school has a BSA Instagram account or a teacher sponsor that can connect them to all activities that we host throughout the year. The Social media presence is also a great way to connect with other schools, take part in events and support one another.
