This year’s theme, “Legacy in Action: Celebrating Black Brilliance,” honours the living legacy of Black Nova Scotians while highlighting the strength and resilience of their historic communities.

Nova Scotia is home to 52 historic African Nova Scotian communities, each with a profound history spanning over two centuries. African Heritage Month is a time to celebrate their culture, legacy, achievements, and contributions, both past and present.

We encourage residents and visitors to take a moment to reflect, engage, and learn—raising the Pan-African flag is just one way to recognize and celebrate this important month. To explore more, visit https://ansa.novascotia.ca/african-heritage-month.
