Emancipation Day

The St. Norbert Art Centre was host to an incredibly significant day. Unanimously, on March 24, 2021, in Canada's House of Commons, Emancipation Day (August 1) was recognized across Canada, commemorating when the British Parliament abolished slavery in the British Empire in 1834.

Emancipation Day is an opportunity to better understand our history and the work needed to end racism and discrimination in Manitoba and Canada.
