Acknowledgements
In the spirit of truth and reconciliation, Events East Group respectfully acknowledges that we are in Mi'kma'ki, the traditional land of the Mi'kmaq people. We also acknowledge the Peace & Friendship Treaties signed in this Territory and recognize that we are all Treaty People.
We acknowledge that people of African descent have been in Nova Scotia for over 400 years, and we honour and offer gratitude to those ancestors of African descent who came before us to this land.
We acknowledge the more than 50 African Nova Scotian communities who have been contributing to the cultural, artistic and economic landscape of this province for over 400 years. Despite facing significant challenges, anti-black racism, and systemic barriers, African Nova Scotians have enriched the fabric of our city as we know it, and continue to do so through their resilience, creativity, and leadership.
