Local History Writer Nila Reynolds plus Brief History of Slavery in Canada Pt 2

This week, Kate talks about Haliburton County history columist and author Nila Reynolds who was able to interview some early settlers of the County and weave their stories into a historical record. Plus, building on last week's episode about enslavement in Canada, Paul talks about the circumstances in the late 1700's - early anti-slavery activism, court decisions and legislation - that paved the way to abolish slavery in Canada. The first legislation to limit slavery in the entire British Empire originated in today's Ontario.
