African Heritage Month – Every year we recognize African Heritage Month in Nova Scotia during the month of February. It is a time to celebrate the culture, achievements, and contributions of people of African descent in the province of Nova Scotia. African Heritage month is an opportunity for all Nova Scotians to learn more about our province’s shared history as we strive to create a more inclusive province. This year’s theme is “Legacy in Action: Celebrating Black Brilliance.”
Black History Trivia – Today’s trivia contest fact is starting with the obvious. Did you know that Africa is a continent not a country? Africa is made up of 54 different unique countries that all have their own systems of government, flags, and anthems! This makes it one of the most diverse areas of the world.
