The Equity Team invited all to learn more about the Ottawa Stops Hate Together campaign and to help shape the campaign’s direction for 2027.
What is the Ottawa Stops Hate Together campaign?
The Ottawa Stops Hate Together campaign is a response to the rise in hate-crimes in Ottawa. The campaign educates about the harmful impacts of racism, strengthens community safety without policing and invests in community led solutions.
This campaign provides funding to equity-denied groups through community-led organizations, which is a part of the community-focused priorities in the City’s Anti-Racism Strategy. The Anti-Racism Strategy is a five-year plan to integrate racial equity into the City’s operations under the Equity, Diversity, Inclusion and Belonging (EDIB) Framework.
The engagements took place over two sessions to accommodate different schedules.
Session one Date: June 16, 2026 Time: 9:30 to 11:30 am Location: Ron Kolbus Lakeside Centre (102 Greenview Ave, Ottawa, ON K2B 8J8)
Session two Date: June 17, 2026 Time: 6:30 to 8:15 pm Location: Virtual (link provided upon registration)
This event was open to the public and free to attend.

Thank you for being part of the 2026 Emancipation Day event, held from July 31 to August 1.
More than 300 participants came together to commemorate the abolition of slavery in the British Empire and reflect on its lasting significance for Black communities in Canada. The event created space to honour formerly enslaved people, recognize the sacrifices of those who fought for freedom, and celebrate the resilience and legacies of Black communities. We would love to hear what went well and what you would like to see at future events.
Your feedback will help us strengthen and improve next year’s Emancipation Day celebration.
