Today, on Emancipation Day, we mark 191 years since slavery was formally made illegal across the British Empire.
Today is a chance to recommit to building a society that empowers every Black Ontarian to thrive. Thank you to all the Ontarians who work to build a province that lives up to the dream of social, political, and economic emancipation. Ontario has significant work ahead to dismantle the systemic barriers that Black Ontarians face in housing, education, health care, and employment.
Happy Emancipation Day! Onwards in the work of winning freedom! #OnPoli #Ontario #Toronto #ToPoli #NDP #OntarioNDP #TorCen #TorontoCentre
