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.
