My cousin, Dennis Scott, is head of the Owen Sound (Ontario) Emancipation Festival, which celebrates the abolition of slavery in Canada each Summer. They've just announced the dates for 2009, the 147th annual festival:
July 30 - August 2nd.

Their Web site will be updated, soon, to reflect the 2009 information, so check back, often. Here's their URL: www.emancipation.ca
