Located on unceded and unsurrended Mi’kmaq territory, Nova Scotia is home to at least 52 historic Black communities. People of African descent have been present in this region for over 400 years, and our rich history is Nova Scotia’s history. Camp Hill Cemetery is the final resting place for many African Nova Scotians who have had a significant impact on the history of the region, including activists, military personnel, and those whose lives and deaths spurred social change both locally and across the nation.

This weekend, you can find us at the Camp Hill Cemetery for a free walking tour exploring these stories as part of the Jane’s Walk * Halifax festival. We’ll be meeting at the Summer Street entrance at 11am on Saturday, May 3rd. All are welcome!
