The Halton Black History Awareness is sponsoring the 2017 Halton Freedom Festival, a month of activities August 4 to September 2, 2017 celebrating “community, roots & culture.” Some events are ticketed.

A full day of free activities is planned for Sat. Aug. 5, 11am to 9pm in Spencer Smith Park, including exquisite musical and dance acts, youth and children’s events, artistic/musical and historical forums, and an extensive marketplace of cultural cuisine and memorabilia, historical and community literature and exceptional multi cultural ambiance.

For a complete listing of events throughout the month-long celebration visit the organization’s website: Halton Black History Awareness Society

This is one of several events I am helping to sponsor with a contribution from the Ward 2 events budget. (Each councillor has $5000 per year to support local community events).

Written by Marianne Meed Ward

I was inspired to seek public office because I believe, like so many of you, “I can do something about that” on the issues we face. As councilor, my role is to take a stand on what’s best for residents and go to bat for it. Pushback is inevitable from those who don’t have the community’s interests at heart. I will stand with you and for you, to achieve the best interests of our city, without caving to unacceptable compromise in the name of consensus.
