Selma. Rentals cost between $5 and $7.
“At TELUS, our team’s longstanding and passionate belief in the
power and importance of diversity and inclusiveness is reflected in
our collective commitment to social justice and equality within our
organisation and in the communities where we live, work and serve,”
says Darren Entwistle, CEO at TELUS. “Black History month presents
an opportunity for us to acknowledge the contributions and
celebrate the achievements of Black leaders, past and present,
amplified this year through the Optik Celebrating Black History
Collection featuring Black producers, artists and potent stories.
We are privileged to include the Black Health Alliance as our
partner in this initiative as we stand united in promoting equity,
fairness, and systemic change across Canada and well beyond.”
