Saint Mary's Huskies to celebrate Black Heritage Night on Friday, Feb. 6

HALIFAX, NS - The Saint Mary's University Department of Athletics is proud to announce its annual celebration of Black Heritage Month this February, including our Black Heritage Night on Friday, February 6th.

Throughout the month, Saint Mary's University will be highlighting some of our many incredible Black student-athletes whose impacts and achievements are important pieces of Huskies history, today, and every day.

On February 6th, Saint Mary's hosts a Black Heritage Night 'triple-header' and will showcase a range of cultural events and activities.

• Women's and Men's Basketball doubleheader vs. UNB, 6 & 8 p.m. @ Homburg Centre
• Women's Hockey vs. Moncton, 7 p.m. @ Dauphinee Centre

We're thrilled to welcome award winning musician Owen 'O'Sound' Lee for performances at half-time of both Huskies basketball games. 

"Black Heritage Night is a celebration of the rich cultural heritage of our Black community and we are thrilled to be able to offer this opportunity for our students, alumni, and wider community to come together and celebrate," said Scott Gray, Saint Mary's Director of Athletics and Recreation.

This is the fifth consecutive year that Saint Mary's Department of Athletics and Recognition has hosted a Black Heritage Night, with the ambition that this will provide a platform for the university to celebrate and recognize the contributions of Black Canadians and their impact on Canadian society.
