Zwena Gray is hiking the 900 kilometre Bruce Trail.
"I saw that there was a gap for Black people and environmentalism and how oftentimes Black people aren't represented, so being able to showcase what Black joy can look like in nature and exist within this space, because I believe that nature and the outdoors can provide a sort of liberation," said Gray, who studies environmental sciences at Trent University in Peterborough, Ont.
In St. Catharines, Gray said she met up with a historian who took her to Salem Chapel British Methodist Episcopal Church. According to the church's website, it was founded by freedom seekers in the early 1800s. "Harriet Tubman and her brother actually lived across the street from that location, so it's been really powerful getting to learn about the Black history of those places," she said.
If you’re talking about an American don’t use that kilometer crap
