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:

“The community solar garden will reduce emissions and help keep rates affordable for our citizens and businesses. This project builds on our success with the Alternative Resource Energy Authority of affordably transitioning to renewable energy. Once complete, this project will push our share of municipally owned renewable energy to over 60 per cent from wind, hydro and solar.” Mayor Don Clarke

Yesterday, Mayor Clarke was in Mahone Bay for an exciting announcement regarding our Solar Garden Project, with AREA (Alternative Resource Energy Authority, a municipal clean energy corporation collectively owned by Mahone Bay, Antigonish and the Town of Berwick)

The Government of Canada is investing more than $8.9 million in this project through the Green Infrastructure Stream of the Investing in Canada infrastructure plan. The Government of Nova Scotia is contributing more than $7.4 million, while the municipalities are collectively contributing more than $5.9 million.
