The Guelph Black Heritage Society is fundraising to build a ramp to enable wheelchair access to Heritage Hall (83 Essex Street) which was formerly known as the British Methodist Episcopal Church, a significant destination on the 19th century “Underground Railroad” slave escape route. The goal is to reach $47,000 and $4,500 has been raised so far. This licensed event features live music by “The Things” and DJ Charless Janzen.

Tickets in advance are $10 at www.guelph-black-heritage-society.ticketleap.com/heritage-hall-fundraiser and $15 at the door.

Contact info@guelphblackheritage.ca for more information.

OPIRG Guelph is located on the ancestral lands of the Attawandaron/Chonnonton, the Anishinaabe, and Haudenosaunee peoples and the treaty lands and territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit. We recognize the significance of the Dish with One Spoon Covenant to this land and offer our respect and gratitude to all of the Indigenous peoples of Turtle Island who have stewarded, loved & defended this land for centuries.

In stating this, we acknowledge that we are here as a result of blood that has been shed through colonization, which continues to be the lived experience of Indigenous communities across Turtle Island. Colonialism is a current ongoing process, and we need to be accountable for our present participation in that process.
