African Heritage Month

February 2, 2026


February is African Heritage month in Nova Scotia.

Join us in celebrating the history, culture, and contributions of people of African descent—past and present.

The 2026 theme for African Heritage Month is: “Strength in Unity – Moving Forward with Purpose, Prosperity, Power and Progress.”


The African Heritage flag will fly at the Lloyd E. Matheson Centre for the month of February in recognition and support.
