Biographical history
Benjamin Slight (1798-1858) was a Wesleyan Methodist missionary to Upper Canada. Born in England, he was sent to Canada as a missionary by the Wesleyan Missionary Committee in London, England in 1834, and was ordained for missionary work in Hamilton in 1835. He began his mission work in western Upper Canada at Amherstburg, where he ministered to settlers, Indigenous people and a colony of formerly enslaved Americans. He next served at the Credit Mission, near York and later worked in different parts of Eastern and Western Canada until his death. He was married to Elizabeth Slight (d. 1871).
