Take your place at Aboriginal Heritage Day at the Glooscap Heritage Centre outside of Truro and witness the spiritual power of an extraordinary event. The drummers beat a steady rhythm while the dancers in intricate, hand-beaded attire begin to move and swirl while singers take up the chant of their elders that harkens all the way back to the first fires, the first pow wows, the first legends of Nova Scotia’s first people - the Mi’kmaq.
Hike out along a quiet trail to a heritage lighthouse set on a spectacular stretch of coast where the first European settlers christened the land they had come to claim on behalf of king and crown. Map a route to take in as many of our community museums and heritage sites as possible, honouring the contributions of our founding cultures from the industrious workings of Loyalist settlers who turned these shores into a shipbuilding epicentre for the whole world to the hard-earned triumphs and heartbreaking tragedies of coal miners and their communities like Springhill. History here is woven into the very fabric of our lives.
