LATE BUS IS CANCELLED TODAY
Harriet Tubman Day: To recognize and honour the woman who helped bring hundreds of slaves from America to freedom. Born into slavery in the early 1820s, Tubman escaped the Maryland farm where she and her family were kept and then travelled alone more than 100 kilometres to free state Pennsylvania. She made her way to Canada and St. Catharines is where she made her home on North Street not far from the British Methodist Episcopal Church, Salem Chapel. She lived in Niagara for less than a decade, beginning in the early 1850s and her influence was significant both for the black community and the church.
