> The Archives of Ontario is pleased to announce that a new travelling exhibit, Enslaved Africans in Upper Canada, is available for hosting opportunities across Ontario.  Produced in partnership with the Ministry of Citizenship and Immigration, the 5-panel exhibit focuses on the actions that enslaved people took to resist their servitude in Upper Canada.  It also reveals that Lieutenant-Governor Simcoe's 1793 Act to Limit Slavery in Upper Canada was precipitated by the resistance of a slave woman named Chloe Cooley.
