The Sankofa Foundation of Canada (SFC) decided to separate students by race by holding a graduation ceremony at Mount Royal University to honour blacks. These graduation ceremonies have been running in Alberta since 2019, according to a poster. SFC said this year’s theme is about originality. The event will take place on June 23 at 3 p.m. at Ross Glen Hall on MRU’s campus. The graduates’ fee is $70. Dinner guests and parents will be charged $60, and children 10 years old and under will pay $25. This ordeal comes after Toronto Metropolitan University decided to separate students based on race in 2022 by creating an area designated for black students.
