Construction is expected to begin this fall. All Wellspring programs have been relo- cated to a temporary facility located at 1148 Winston Churchill Blvd., Unit E. All programming will continue uninter- rupted and, as always, be offered free of charge. These facilities are fully accessible and easily reached to ensure that Wellspring can continue to serve as many individuals as possible. If you're looking for some- thing to do this holiday weekend, take the family to the Emancipation Day Family Picnic at Georges Square on Monday, Aug. 1. This annual event celebrates a significant achievement in Canadian history. The annual picnic, hosted by the Oakville Museum in partner- ship with the Canadian Caribbean Association of Halton (CCAH) kicks off at 1 p.m. with a variety of fun activities for the entire family. The Emancipation Day Family Picnic speaks to our towns rich heritage and teaches our children about Oakvilles place in history as a safe destina- tion for runaway slaves during the 1850s and 60s, said Oakville Mayor Rob Burton. This celebration is an impor- tant reminder of our past and its a privilege to be part of this tra- dition every year. The picnic commemorates Aug. 1, 1834 the day slavery was abolished in Canada and also throughout the British Empire. Oakvilles Emancipation Day Picnic, in fact, dates back to 1850, when African-Canadians from across the nation would gather here in Oakville, in George's Square, in honour of their journey to freedom. The following events are scheduled throughout the after- noon, so dont forget your lawn chairs: story circle with the Oakville Public Library interactive drama presenta- tion book signing by teacher and Canadian author Natasha L. Henry of her new book, Emancipation Day: Celebrating Freedom in Canada childrens activities includ- ing games, crafts and a scavenger hunt performances by the Muhtadi World Drummers, the CCAH Steel Band and the Hope Gospel Choir Oakville was known for its busy port and fleet of grain ships and was a notable entry point for those who made their escape to Canada via the Underground Railroad, said Susan Crane, learning and community devel- opment officer for the Oakville Museum. This event is an amazing opportunity to share stories, cel- ebrate and rejoice.
