HALIFAX Nova Scotia Premier Iain Rankin says his government is addressing a legacy of systemic racism by setting aside $3 million to help accelerate the process of awarding land titles in historically African Nova Scotian communities. The money will go toward the province s Land Titles Initiative, a project launched in 2017 to help residents of North and East Preston, Cherry Brook/Lake Loon, Lincolnville and Sunnyville get clear land titles at no cost. In the 1800s, land was given to both white and Black Loyalists by the provincial government, but only white settlers were given clear land titles, leading to years of confusion for descendants of Black settlers and limiting their ability to obtain mortgages, access housing grants or sell their homes.
