Celebrated the third Monday in February, Nova Scotia Heritage Day is an annual reminder of our storied past and an opportunity to honour the remarkable people, places and events that have contributed to this province’s unique heritage. This year’s Nova Scotia Heritage Day recognizes the community of Africville. The year 2020 marks the 10th anniversary of the Africville apology, a National Historic Site, which holds great significance to the African Nova Scotian community.
