2023 is the 230th anniversary of the passing of the very first piece of anti-slavery legislation in the British Empire, which happened in Niagara-on-the-Lake (NOTL). We have a brave and determined Black woman named Chloe Cooley to thank. This guided hike offers an opportunity to learn about Chloe Cooley and her fight for freedom. It will celebrate the strength and perseverance of people of African heritage who lived in what was once the capital of Upper Canada. We will stop at numerous sites of historical significance. “Today let us remember the…freedom fighters of the past so that they may inspire future generations to build just societies.” unesco.org
This hike is in the open, so participants are reminded to come prepared for the sun and heat (e.g., sunscreen, hat and water).
Note: Niagara Black history hikes are offered by volunteers who have committed to their own learning, to be able to offer an informative and contemplative hike experience. These hikes are open to all and offered in a spirit of mutual learning and inclusion.
