The North Star. The Promised Land. Canadians pride themselves on knowing that our country was a safe haven for people escaping enslavement from the United States. However, what Canadians don't realize is that slavery existed here for over 200 years. About 600 enslaved people of African descent lived in Upper Canada (Ontario) up to 1834, and at least 80 lived in Niagara-on-the-Lake (NOTL).
