Description

Since the official recognition of Black History Month in 1995, Canadians are invited to learn and be engaged in an ongoing flight against anti Black racism.
in this hike series we will learn about the early years of the black community in NOTL how it helped to shape our diverse society as it is today.

During the hike we will stop several times to see and learn about some of the places that are significant to the early days of the black community in the area.
