The free afternoon of music, dance, games, crafts and activities on the holiday Monday, celebrates Oakville's role in the Underground Railroad as a port of entry. The event is hosted by the Oakville Museum in partnership with the Canadian Caribbean Association of Halton (CCAH) and also commemorates Aug. 1, 1834 -- the day slavery was abolished in Canada and throughout the British Empire. Oakville's Emancipation Day Picnic dates back to 1850, when African Canadians from across the nation would gather at George's Square in honour of their journey to freedom. "Our town was a notable point of entry to Canada for those who escaped slavery via the Underground Railroad," said Oakville Mayor Rob Burton. see Join on p.3 Celebrating Civic history at Erchless 24° 16° 22° 15° 21° 15° 22° 14° Oakville resident Marcel Robitaille, 79, has created a vegetable and ower garden at Post Inn Village where he lives.
