Dismantling Barriers: Lessons from the Ontario Railroad Towns
Thursday, February 19, 2026 – 4:00 pm PT | 5:00 pm MT | 6:00 pm CT | 7:00 pm ET | 8:00 pm AT | 8:30 pm NT (90 minutes)
Join us on February 19th, 2026 at 7pm ET for our next session in shared learning about Black Canadian history. During this Black History Month, we will build on last year’s lessons from Hogan’s Alley and Africville and explore the five settlements in Ontario that developed at the end of the Underground Railroad, and the lasting implications and effects of those settlements.
We’ll be working with the Black History Month tool kit created last year, with addendums added for each learning session. You can find a copy of that tool kit by following this link here!
A reminder that this is a shared learning space—an opportunity to support our lifelong work of unlearning anti-Blackness and deepening our understanding of the Black Canadian experience as we strive to be better accomplices and allies in the anti-racism movement. We look forward to learning with you!
