International Day for the Remembrance of the Slave Trade and its Abolition
This day honours the millions of enslaved Africans who died during the transatlantic slave trade. It serves as a sombre reminder of one of history’s greatest injustices and the enduring legacy of slavery and colonialism. It is celebrated annually on August 23 by UNESCO member states.

LAND ACKNOWLEDGMENT
We wish to acknowledge this land on which Branksome operates. For thousands of years, it has been the traditional land of the Wendat, the Seneca, and most recently, the Mississaugas of the Credit River. Today, this meeting place is still the home to many Indigenous peoples from across Turtle Island and we are grateful to have the opportunity to work and go to school on this land.*
*The Land Acknowledgement may evolve as we honour our commitment to Truth and Reconciliation in partnership with Indigenous communities.
