Black communities jump up, play mass, and celebrate this weekend for freedoms that were hard won by the Bar, Bench and community. Happy #EmancipationDay everyone!! #InclusionNow

[McCarthy Tétrault @McCarthy_ca]

We commemorate #EmancipationDay, marking the abolition of slavery across the British Empire, including Canada, on August 1, 1834. We celebrate the resilience and achievements of Black Canadians and reaffirm our commitment to combat anti-Black racism.

[Ontario Bar Association @OBAlawyers]

On Emancipation Day, the OBA honours the courage of those in the Black community who led the fight to abolish slavery. We commit ourselves to working to help end anti-Black racism as we come together to build a more fair and equal society.
