DESCRIPTION:Emancipation Sunday is celebrated on the last Sunday in July in
  the Anglican Church of Canada (July 26 in 2026)\, as formally designated 
 by the General Synod in June 2025. Emancipation Sunday commemorates the co
 ming into effect of the Slavery Abolition Act on August 1\, 1834—Emanc
 ipation Day—freeing approximately 800\,000 enslaved people in British co
 lonies\, including Canada.\nFor more than 180 years\, Black communities ac

 s\, outdoor festivities\, protests\, speeches\, entertainment and more\, t
 aking the opportunity for reflection on the struggle for freedom and justi

  Synod invites Anglicans in Canada to join in that celebration and to supp
 ort initiatives that address anti-Black racism within our ecclesial struct
 ures and in society at large.\nMore information and liturgical resources a
