Description
Black History Hike #3 - The Long Road to Freedom
Since 1995, the government of Canada officially recognized February as Black History Month; a time when Canadians are invited to reflect, educate and engage in the ongoing fight against anti-Black racism and discrimination. This series of four hikes will give us an opportunity to celebrate the strength and perseverance of the early Black community here in Upper Canada.
Wear extra warm clothing as we will be stopping several times. While the terrain is easy, consider bringing your walking sticks and/or footwear with micro spikes. Sidewalks and streets may be icy.
