The Black Cultural Society of Nova Scotia, established in 1977 as a provincial charitable organization with a mandate to Protect, Preserve and Promote African Nova Scotian Heritage and Culture. These objectives are carried out through the operation and management of the Black Cultural Centre for Nova Scotia.
The Society is seeking energetic, community minded individuals who have a passion to do more and to serve on our volunteer board of directors for a 3 year term, with a focus on the following areas of expertise or professional knowledge:
– Museumology
– Finance
– Education
– Community Development

Recently the Black Cultural Society underwent important changes to its operations and the Provincial Legislation that governs the organization. These changes have resulted in a reduction of board size and realignment of our goals to be relevant in today’s society. We are seeking perspective board members to represent one of the following regions:
~ Halifax Regional Municipality ~ North (Cumberland, Colchester, Pictou)
~ Cape Breton ~ Valley (Kings, Annapolis, Hants)
~ South Shore (Shelburne, Lunenburg, Queens) ~ West (Yarmouth, Digby)
