The story of Canada’s Black heritage is filled with important events and amazing people who helped shape the country’s history and culture — people like Rose Fortune, North America’s first policewoman; Harriet Tubman, the Underground Railway’s legendary “conductor”; newspaper editor Mary Ann Shadd; Elijah McCoy, the brilliant inventor who was “the real McCoy”; Alberta cowboy John Ware; and Fergie Jenkins, the first Canadian elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame.
