The Emancipation Day Underground Freedom Train Ride: A night of communal celebration and reflection

In the late hours of July 31, OC Transpo was honoured to support community members across Ottawa for the Emancipation Day Underground Freedom Train Ride. Held in recognition of Emancipation Day on August 1, which marks the abolition of slavery across the British Empire, the event brought residents together for a meaningful night of remembrance, celebration, and reflection.

This year marked OC Transpo’s second consecutive year participating in the ride, and The Next Stop Blog is here to take you along for the journey.
