4. Black History Month Fact of the day...In 1628, Olivier LeJeune was recorded as the first enslaved African to live in Canada (i.e. New France). Olivier LeJeune's birth name is not known, as he was taken from Africa as a young child and eventually given the last name of the priest who purchased him.

People of African descent were enslaved in Canada from 1628 until slavery was abolished in Upper Canada in 1793 and throughout the entire British Empire in 1833.
