Africville : an African Nova Scotian community is demolished - and fights back

Wesley, Gloria,


The community of Africville began in the early 1800s with the settlement of former American slaves and other black people on the Beford Basin, just north of Halifax. Over time the community grew to include a church, a school, and small businesses. At its peak, about 400 people lived in the tight-knit community of Africville. But the neighbourhood was not without its problems. Racist attitudes prevented people from getting well-paying jobs outside the community and the City of Halifax denied the residents of Africville basic services such as running water, sewage disposal, and garbage collection. Despite being labeled a "slum," the community was lively and vibrant, with a strong sense of culture and tradition. In the 1960s, in the name of urban renewal, the City of Halifax decided to demolish the community, relocate its residents and use the land for industrial development. Residents of Africville strongly opposed this move, but their homes were bulldozed and they were forced into public housing projects in other parts of the city, and promised, but did not receive social assistance to help them resettle. After years of pressure from former members of the community and their descendants, the City of Halifax finally apologized for the destruction of Africville and offered to pay compensation. Through historical photographs, documents, and first-person narratives from former Africville residents, this book offers an account of the racism behind the injustices suffered by the community. It documents how the City destroyed Africville and finally apologized for it.

The extraordinary adventures of the Newfoundland dog


Newfoundland dogs have been living in Newfoundland for centuries. They've been there so long no one's entirely sure where they came from. Some say their ancestors were domesticated by the local First Nations, or came across the ocean with the Vikings a thousand years ago. More likely, they were bred by the European fishermen and whalers who came to Canada in the 1500s. The dogs were perfect for life on the frontier: big, brave, and fantastic swimmers. When the first European explorers headed west toward the Pacific, Newfoundlands were at their side: one with the famous map-maker David Thompson; another with John Graves Simcoe, founder of Toronto; a third with the explorer Alexander Mackenzie as he became the first European to cross the continent; and another named Gander acted as the mascot for the Royal Rifles of Canada. His heroic act in Hong Kong saved 7 soldiers. These hardy dogs became a familiar sight for Canadian settlers, a breed that helped build our country.
