Heritage Day 2025

Monday, Feb 17 is Heritage Day in Nova Scotia. On this day we celebrate the people, places and events that have shaped our unique history.

This year's honoree is the late Nora Bernard, a Mi'kmaq Activist who founded the Shubenacadie Indian Residential School Association and set the wheels in motion for what became the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. For more, visit: https://heritageday.novascotia.ca/

Please note that the Village Commission offices at 27 Pleasant Street, Chester, will be closed on Monday in honour of the day.
