Acknowledgements
Our business operates in Kjipuktuk (“che-book-took”), now known as Halifax, Nova Scotia, on the ancestral and unceded territory of the Mi’kmaq people. We recognize the importance of the Peace and Friendship Treaties signed in this Territory and acknowledge that we are all Treaty People.
Events East is committed to fostering ongoing opportunities for Mi’kmaq people, tradition and culture to be welcome in our venues, shape the events we host, and enrich the experiences of those who work and visit with us.
We acknowledge the more than 50 African Nova Scotian communities who have been contributing to the cultural, artistic and economic landscape of this province for over 400 years. Despite facing significant challenges, anti-black racism, and systemic barriers, African Nova Scotians have enriched the fabric of our city as we know it, and continue to do so through their resilience, creativity, and leadership.
