SUMMARY:Downtown Halifax’s “African Heritage Month” light show will take you on a journey\, shore to shore.
DESCRIPTION:February 1\, 2023For Immediate Release \nDowntown Halifax’s DELIGHTFUL DOWNTOWN “African Heritage Month” light show starts tonight! \n(Halifax\, N.S.) – Downtown Halifax Business Commission’s (DHBC) DELIGHTFUL DOWNTOWN “African Heritage Month” light show at Grafton Park (corner of Spring Garden Road. and Grafton Street) starts tonight at 6 p.m. and will be projected on the former Halifax Memorial Library nightly throughout February. \nThis special light show is a dedication to this year’s African Heritage Month theme\, ‘Seas of Struggle – African Peoples from Shore to Shore\,’ and highlights four different migrations that people of African descent embarked on\, to arrive on Nova Scotian shores. \nThis vivid production was conceptualized by DHBC’s placemaking team and designed by Nick Iwasko of Wasko AV\, with special advisement from Halifax Regional Municipality’s Office of Diversity & Inclusion and their African Nova Scotian Affairs Integration Office (ANSAIO). The show also includes original music\, composed by Bradley “Raslaxx” Frankson of Legacy Music. \n“When creating the audio for this show\, I really wanted to paint a picture. All the sounds\, instruments\, music genres\, were chosen specifically for each scene. I wanted to take you on a journey\,” says Frankson. “The text in this show is just as important as the visuals\, so it was important that the audio captivate the audience\, allowing you time to absorb what you’re seeing and hearing\, and let it sink in.” \nDHBC’s DELIGHTFUL DOWNTOWN “African Heritage Month” light show runs three minutes in length and focuses on the arrival of the Black Loyalists\, the Jamaican Maroons\, the Refugees of the War of 1812\, and the Caribbean Migrants\, and how each group contributed to the prosperity of Nova Scotia. \n“Our original goal with these light shows was to attract more people to Downtown Halifax\,” says Paul MacKinnon\, CEO of DHBC. “But once we started planning them\, we also realized how powerful our resources and platforms can be\, to educate\, and help marginalized communities spread awareness. Ensuring the people of Nova Scotia feel represented in DHBC’s work is important to us.” \nDHBC’s “African Heritage Month” light show is one of many light shows being shown throughout the month of February\, as part of DHBC’s DELIGHTFUL DOWNTOWN at Grafton Park. \nFor more information on this show and for the full DELIGHTFUL DOWNTOWN at Grafton Park light show schedule go to: https://downtownhalifax.ca/delightful.

SUMMARY:Africville - Can't Stop Now
DESCRIPTION:Join us at Digby Pines Golf Resort & Spa for a 45-minute documentary originally produced by the CBC in 2009\, followed by a discussion and question & answer session with Juanita Peters\, Executive Director of the Africville Museum and Bernice Arsenault\, former resident of Africville. \nAfricville was a black settlement on the shores of the Bedford Basin in the City of Halifax\, Nova Scotia.  There was much discrimination against the community by the citizens and the city of Halifax; in fact\, basic services\, provided by the city to the surrounding communities were never extended to Africville\, and much was done to discourage the Africville people\, including the location of a refuse dump adjacent to the community.  Unable to convince community members to relocate\, the city eventually moved in with heavy equipment and bulldozed the homes and other buildings. \nAfter years of struggle and protests\, the city built a replica of the Africville church which is now the museum\, and the site has become a memorial to the resilience of community members. \nIt’s a poignant story of racism and triumph over it.

SUMMARY:African Heritage Month – Black Ice Film Screening
DESCRIPTION:In partnership with the Canadian Race Relations Foundation\, we are proud to screen Black Ice. This incisive\, urgent documentary examines the role of Black players in Canadian hockey\, from pre-NHL contributions to the game to the struggles against racism that continue to this day. Directed by Oscar nominee Hubert Davis and executive produced by LeBron James\, Drake\, and Maverick Carter\, Black Ice is a sobering survey of systemic marginalization within one of the world’s most beloved team sports. \nFrom its formation in Nova Scotia in 1895 to its dissolution in 1930\, the Coloured Hockey League was the home for Canada’s best Black players\, and the stage for their innovations in how the game was played. The CHL was the first league to see goalies dropping to their knees to make a save\, while Eddie Martin of the Halifax Eureka was the first player to deploy the slapshot. \nDecades after the league dissolved\, when Black players finally became part of the NHL\, the sense of triumph that accompanied that overdue inclusion was rapidly tempered by racist incidents both on and off the ice — sometimes by toxic fans\, sometimes by those within the industry\, including fellow players and even coaches. \nDavis brings together an incredible roster of players to offer insight and testimony — women and men from both major and minor leagues\, including Akim Aliu\, Saroya Tinker\, Mark Connors\, and Wayne Simmonds. Their stories are eye-opening and often painful\, but their bravery in sharing their stories\, along with their faith in the fundamental beauty and excitement of hockey\, infuse Black Ice with a galvanizing sense of hope for a more inclusive future. \nThe film screening will be followed by a panel discussion.
