  • 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.

  • The Advance Wednesday, October 3, 2018
    The Advance Wednesday, October 3, 2018 Standing-room only at Flesherton all-candidates meeting Thursday (by Don Crosby) There’s a great interest among voters for information about candidates in the upcoming Grey Highlands municipal election, as evidenced by a standing-room only crowd at the latest all-candidates meeting in Flesherton. The high interest also shows in numerous all-candidate meetings for Lake Eugenia and Brewster’s Lake; Flesherton, Markdale and Kimberley, and a meet-and-greet planned for Saturday at the Flesherton Farmer’s Market. Much of the discussion last Wednesday was about tourism and economic development. The meeting was sponsored by the Grey Highlands Chamber of Commerce, which posed the first four questions to be answered by all candidates on those topics. There was almost unanimous agreement on what kind of tourism would be good for Grey Highlands. Everyone agreed that accommodations were badly needed. (Mayoral candidates will be marked as M and Deputy-Mayor as DM, all the remaining are candidates for council) Paul Allen said those that promote health and wellness, such as hiking and cycling, as well a business and conference centre would be welcome. Having operated a business in Eugenia for several years Stewart Halliday (DM) would like to see more entrepreneurs. Aakash Desai (DM) favours adventure-based businesses. Terry Mokriy (M) wants more tourism-related businesses and for council to work more closely with the tourism industry. Paul McQueen (M) also thinks more accommodation is needed for both residents and visitors. Danielle Valiquette would like to see more agri-tourism and heritage tourism.
