African Heritage Month 2022

To recognize that February is African Heritage Month in Nova Scotia, the Pan African flag will fly in front of Town Hall for the next 28 days.

We are learning more about African Heritage ourselves this month, and wanted to share what we've learned about flags!

The Pan African flag is a tri-color flag that consists of three equal horizontal bands colored Red, Black, and Green

Red: the blood that unites all people of Black African ancestry, and shed for liberation;

Black: for the people whose existence as a nation, though not a nation-state, is affirmed by the existence of the flag;

Green: the abundant and vibrant natural wealth of Africa, the Motherland.

Here in Nova Scotia, we have an official African Nova Scotian flag that was designed by artist Wendie Wilson. A great video from Wendie Wilson, explaining the background of the African Nova Scotian flag can be found here:
