College Commemorates African Heritage Month 2025

The College commemorates African Heritage Month with this year’s theme of Legacy in Action: Celebrating Black Brilliance. The theme celebrates the enduring legacy of Black Nova Scotians, paying tribute to the community’s resilience, achievements, and impact throughout history.
Nova Scotia is home to 52 historic African Nova Scotian communities, with a rich and complex history that spans more than 200 years. The College honours the contributions of African Nova Scotians—both past and present.
The College recognizes that much work remains to be done to address anti-black racism within our healthcare system. We commend the leadership of physicians across Nova Scotia engaged in moving this change forward.
