Emancipation Day is recognized annually on August 1. It is a time to reflect on the history of slavery, honour the courage of those who fought for freedom and engage in the ongoing fight against anti-Black racism and discrimination.
As a City, we'll join the global community on March 8 to recognize the day with events aimed at raising awareness about equality and celebrating women and their invaluable contributions. This year's theme is Inspire Inclusion.
