Emancipation Day commemorates the abolition of slavery in the British Empire, which took effect on August 1, 1834. St. James has a longstanding connection to this history through commemorative services first held by Toronto’s African-Canadian community. Emancipation Day honours the resilience and contributions of Black communities in Canada.
