Treaty Day is held each year on October 1. It marks the beginning of Mi’kmaq History Month in Nova Scotia, as proclaimed in 1993 by then Premier John Savage and Mi’kmaq Grand Chief Ben Sylliboy. The purpose of Treaty Day is to promote public awareness about the Mi'kmaq culture and heritage for all Nova Scotians. The 2019 Treaty Day events included a ceremony at the Grand Pa- rade in downtown Halifax, a church service, a parade, and a luncheon attended by His Honour the Honourable Arthur LebLanc, Lieutenant Gover- nor of Nova Scotia, as well as other dignitaries including many Mi’kmaq elders.

The Treaty Day parade proceeds through downtown Halifax. MCPL BRIAN WATTERS, 5TH CSN DIV

On a sunny afternoon on Septem- ber 28, an exciting HFX Wanderers FC game day experience was had by many local Defence Team members, as the Wanderers hosted their inaugural CAF Appreciation Match.
