OUTBOUND IN ONTARIO

Outbound in Ontario is an 8-day experiential heritage education journey across southwestern Ontario, created to help young people remember, celebrate, and honour African Canadian history.

​

Travelling from Toronto to Amherstburg, participants follow the Underground Railroad, visiting historic areas of settlement, freedom communities, churches, museums, cemeteries, Afro-Indigenous farms, and cultural landmarks along the way.

​

Participants experience Ontario as a living classroom, learning from elders, historians, community leaders, and the land itself. Through each stop, they learn about the resistance, courage, and vision of African-descended communities, while reflecting on who they are, where they come from, and their responsibility to carry these stories forward.
