Office of the Chief Executive

Planning is underway to participate in the annual underground freedom train ride to celebrate Emancipation Day on August 1. This special event, which marks the role of the Underground Railroad in Canadian history, will once again be held on Line 1 Yonge-University on July 31, starting at about 10:30 p.m.

The symbolic midnight ride is hosted by the Blackhurst Cultural Centre and ushers in Emancipation Day on August 1. Activities celebrating the public event include singing, poetry readings, and drum playing.

Recognizing Emancipation Day and Emancipation Month reminds us of how important it is to address anti-Black racism and to wipe out discrimination in all its forms, once and for all – a commitment we’ve made clear in our new Anti-Racism Strategy. We are making progress, but we have much work to do.
