Celebrate African Heritage Month 2022
This month and every month!
Given the heightened interest in the Black Lives Matter movement and how it has exposed the injustice against Black people, now is the time – more than ever – to fight against anti-black racism.
That change begins with meaningful conversations and actions.
There is no one way to delve into this topic, just as there is no one approach to address and eradicate Racism and its impact.

Mi’kmaq History Month
"In an effort to assist all Nova Scotians in increasing their knowledge and awareness of Mi’kmaw culture, history and heritage, a Mi’kmaq History Month Committee was established to promote and encourage educational and cultural activities during the month of October.
The Mi’kmaq History Month Committee, lead in the interim by the The Confederacy of Mainland Mi’kmaq, draws on the expertise of representatives from the Mi’kmaq Grand Council, Nova Scotia Mi’kmaw communities and organizations, as well as the Federal and Provincial governments.
This website has been developed in order to share information and increase awareness of the Mi’kmaw culture, history and heritage, in particular, Treaty Day and Mi’kmaq History Month.
We welcome you to share and promote the information on our culture, history and heritage and encourage you to join us in the celebrations."
