africville museum: The new funding will support 132 projects across the province, enabling communities to host celebrations and commemorate significant historical events, according to The Chronicle Herald. There has been incredible interest by community groups in Canada 150, said Tony Ince, Minister of Communities, Culture and Heritage. That means an Easter church service that was last held in Africville in 1967 will be celebrated there again. I am excited that so many groups want to celebrate our cultural identity and diversity and remember our connections to Confederation. There will be a Sunrise Easter service held at the Africville museum at 6 a.m. on Easter Sunday, April 16, followed by a commemorative service at Cornwallis St. The Africville project, led by the Africville Heritage Trust, together with community and church groups and a local business, will celebrate the culture of Africville.
