  • Cultural Assets of Nova Scotia African Nova Scotian Tourism Guide 2 Come Visit the Birthplace of Canada’S Black Community
    Cultural Assets of NovA scotiA African Nova scotian tourism Guide 2 Come visit the birthplace of Canada’s Black community. Situated on the east coast of this beautiful country, Nova Scotia is home to approximately 20,000 residents of African descent. Our presence in this province traces back to the 1600s, and we were recorded as being present in the provincial capital during its founding in 1749. Come walk the lands that were settled by African Americans who came to the Maritimes—as enslaved labour for the New England Planters in the 1760s, Black Loyalists between 1782 and 1784, Jamaican Maroons who were exiled from their home lands in 1796, Black refugees of the War of 1812, and Caribbean immigrants to Cape Breton in the 1890s. The descendants of these groups are recognized as the indigenous African Nova Scotian population. We came to this land as enslaved and free persons: labourers, sailors, farmers, merchants, skilled craftspersons, weavers, coopers, basket-makers, and more. We brought with us the remnants of our cultural identities as we put down roots in our new home and over time, we forged the two together and created our own unique cultural identity. Today, some 300 years later, there are festivals and gatherings throughout the year that acknowledge and celebrate the vibrant, rich African Nova Scotian culture. We will always be here, remembering and honouring the past, living in the present, and looking towards the future. 1 table of contents Halifax Metro region 6 SoutH SHore and YarMoutH & acadian SHoreS regionS 20 BaY of fundY & annapoliS ValleY region 29 nortHuMBerland SHore region 40 eaStern SHore region 46 cape Breton iSland region 50 See page 64 for detailed map.

We are inspired by the bravery of our soldiers at Normandy and moved by the words of John McCrae’s "In Flanders Fields." We are amazed at the vision of Louis-Joseph Papineau and Sir Wilfrid Laurier. We are enchanted by the paintings of Emily Carr and the writings of Lucy Maud Montgomery. We look back in awe at the wisdom of Sir John A. Macdonald and Sir George-Étienne Cartier. We are moved to tears of joy by the humour of Stephen Leacock and tears of gratitude for the courage of Tecumseh. We hold in high regard the determination of Emily Murphy and Rev. Josiah Henson to overcome obstacles which stood in the way of their dreams. We give thanks for the work of the Victorian Order of Nurses and those who organ- ized the Underground Railroad. We think of those who suffered and died at Grosse Île in the dream of reaching a new home.

I try and offer an example of weaving together different geographical connections not ordinarily done so prominently in regional geography approaches. In August 2015, I spend a few weeks in one of eastern Canada's Maritime Provinces on the Atlantic [1][2], not quite geared up to do a re-take of Billy Connolly‘s: Journey to the Edge of the World from Halifax, Nova Scotia on the Canadian Atlantic through the notorious Northwest Passage to Vancouver Island on the Canadian Pacific coast, screened by ITV in 2008), so staying put in Nova Scotia itself. On the plane approaching Halifax, a Canadian businessman informed us that this time we should make it since the wind was not against us – unlike at times when the plane approaching from the west cannot make it there, having to return to Ottawa or Montreal. Nova Scotia is one of the Maritime provinces, stretching 500 kilometres from northeast to southwest, with a shoreline of over 6,000 kilometres, with no point further from the sea than 70 kilometres [3].

  • An Analysis of Heritage in Tourist Brochures, Halifax, Nova Scotia, 2019
    AN ANALYSIS OF HERITAGE IN TOURIST BROCHURES, HALIFAX, NOVA SCOTIA, 2019 by Thomas LaPierre A thesis submitted in fulfillment of the requirements of GEOG 4526 for the Degree of Bachelor of Arts (Honours) Department of Geography and Environmental Studies Saint Mary’s University Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada © Thomas LaPierre, 2020 April 14, 2020 Members of the Examining Committee: Dr. Jason Grek-Martin (Supervisor) Department of Geography and Environmental Studies Saint Mary’s University Dr. Mathew Novak Department of Geography and Environmental Studies Saint Mary’s University ii My thesis is dedicated to everyone in the world, especially healthcare workers, world leaders and anyone who has suffered from COVID-19. We are all going through tough times right now. But we will get through this. Humanity finds a way every time to survive and adapt. Stay strong and healthy! iii ABSTRACT An Analysis of Heritage in Tourist Brochures, Halifax, Nova Scotia, 2019 by Thomas LaPierre I collected brochures from several sites in Halifax during the summer of 2019, analyzing them for heritage content, especially keeping an eye out for Scottishness and idyllic maritime folk themes. In the early-mid 20th century, the Nova Scotian government took interest in these things, and elevated their importance to help create a unified heritage strategy. I examined Citadel Hill and Fisherman’s Cove as case studies that had elements of Scottishness and idyllic maritime folk themes, respectively. In this thesis, I lay out histories of the two sites and of Nova Scotia’s historical heritage development, explaining why Scottishness and idyllic maritime folk themes are still prominent in the province’s tourist landscape today.

  • A Local Sense of Place: Halifax's Little Dutch Church
    A Local Sense of Place: Halifax’s Little Dutch Church Paul B. Williams Queen’s University Abstract: This study1 reviews the case of a specific heritage site, the Little Dutch Church in Halifax, Nova Scotia. The latter may be viewed as a vehicle for inves- tigating both how cultural heritage activities reaffirm or confront our existing ideas about social relationships and how the generation and appropriation of meaning within heritage may play itself out in such relationships. In raising ques- tions about meaning, there is a realization that national heritage and commemo- ration is negotiated as much at a local as at a national scale. In fact, it may be argued that meaning usually resides in a local sense of place. This article features online (http://www.cjc-online.ca) photographs of Halifax’s Little Dutch Church. Résumé : Ce communiqué fait le bilan d’un site historique précis, le Little Dutch Church, situé à Halifax en Nouvelle Ècosse. Il est utillisé comme véhicule pour étudier la façon dont les activités culturelles patrimoniales réaffirment ou con- frontent nos idées préconçues vis-à-vis de nos rapports sociaux et de quelle façon la génération et l’appropriation du sens à l’intérieur du patrimoine peuvent se dérouler dans de tels rapports. Lorsque de telles questions sont posées, nous nous rendons compte que le patrimoine national et la commémoration se négocient aussi bien au point de vue locale que fédéral. En effet, nous pourrions dire que la signification réside normalement dans un sens d’appartenance local. Cet article inclut des photos du Little Dutch Church à Halifax disponibles sur le site web de la revue : http://www.cjc-online.ca.

  • Allegories and Orientations in African-Canadian Historiography: the Spirit of Africville 1
    ]AMES W . ST.G. WALKER Allegories and Orientations in African-Canadian Historiography: The Spirit of Africville 1 N THE 1960S THE HALIFAX COMMUNITY of Africville was a I symbol of the African-Canadian condition: marginalized, impover­ ished, dependent. Because it straddled the main trans-Canada rail­ way line it attracted considerable attention. Nation-wide publicity labelled Africville a "blot" and a "disgrace," an anomaly in a land supposedly free of racial disadvantage. Then it became a positive symbol in the mind of white Canada for slum clearance and urban renewal and racial integration, as the population of about 400 were removed from their homes 'for their own good" and Llle IJhysical community of Africville was bulldozed into the ground. Since 1970, when the last resident was forced out, Africville's symbolic role has shifted again. The community has continued to exist despite its physical destruction, and it is taken now as a symbol of the uncon­ querable black spirit in Nova Scotia. The relocation itself has been deemed an act of racism rather than against racism, something to be regretted and reversed. Africville has been Canada's most highly publicized black community, but it was by no means unique. Every feature and every condition of life in Africville up to the time of its demolition was shared with other African-Canadian communities, with differ­ ences only in degree. Indeed, throughout its history the Africville story serves as allegory for Llle African-Canadian experience, espe­ cially in Nova Scotia, and its refusal to die has forced a reconsid­ eration and ultimately a recognition of the powerful community orientation of black history in Canada.
