HALIFAX A major part of Nova Scotia’s history is being honoured by a new coin commemorating Black History Month. The Royal Canadian Mint revealed their annual Black History Month commemorative silver coin on Monday. This year’s design is dedicated to the Black Loyalists, a group of more than 3,000 free or formerly enslaved Black people who fought for the British in the American Revolution, and settled in Nova Scotia between 1783 and 1785. Monday’s virtual ceremony featured video messages from Prime Minster Justin Trudeau, Premier Stephen McNeil, and Minister of African Nova Scotian affairs Tony Ince. “In order to make an inclusive society, we must remember our own country’s history,” said Justin Trudeau. “This is especially important as we celebrate the start of Black history month, because Black history is Canadian history.”
