February is African Heritage Month

Jan 19, 2024

February is African Heritage Month. During this month we celebrate culture, legacy, achievements and contributions of people of African descent,  – past and present.

People of African descent are a vibrant part of Nova Scotia’s past, these individuals made Nova Scotia home and contributed to the fabric and success of today’s province. Nova Scotia can be said to be the birth place of Black Culture and heritage in Canada, boasting the largest indigenous Black community in Canada. [BCCNS]

African Heritage Month provides us with another opportunity to celebrate culture, legacy, achievements and contributions of  people of African descent,  – past and present.
