Description
Since 1995, the government in 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. You will find out about some of those who fought enslavement, and how they were pivotal in shaping our society to be as diverse as it is today.
*Dress for the weather. Icers and hiking poles are recommended as paths tend to be icy. We will stop several times. Expect hike to take from 1.5-2 hours.
Hike 3 of 4 hikes in this series for the Black History badge.
PLEASE NOTE: Hikes are offered by volunteers who have committed to their own learning to be able to offer informative and contemplative hike experiences. These hikes are open to all and offered in a spirit of mutual leaning and inclusion.
