High School Program
Explore the multifaceted province of Nova Scotia, where the historical charm of places like Lunenburg meets pressing coastal challenges. Delve into the region’s cultural diversity and critically examine the complexities of Canada’s multicultural narrative.
As a young nation, Canada is no stranger to the process of immigration and the resulting diversity. This program showcases the experiences of immigrants who arrived in Nova Scotia. From the Gaelic highlands to the colonial villages, the small, resilient community of Africville, and the original keepers of the land, the Mi’kmaq Peoples, Nova Scotia is an integral part of Canada’s immigration history and growing diversity.
This Maritimes program brings you to some of the most iconic and engaging experiences found throughout the province of Nova Scotia. From the history of Lunenburg and Pier 21 to the contemporary issues affecting our coastlines, engage with rich content both past and present. With cultural diversity as a key theme, challenge the Canadian narrative that all are welcome, diving deeper into contemporary issues impacting our multicultural society.
