In October 2019, the Nova Scotia Co-operative Council celebrated their 70th anniversary with a very special event hosted in Halifax: A Conversation with Barack Obama.
A very special cultural expression showcase set the stage for the 44th President of the United States. The showcase celebrates Nova Scotia’s diverse and creative communities, heritage, identities, and languages with a special emphasis on our African Nova Scotian, Mi’kmaq, Acadian, Gaelic and Celtic cultures.
A true conversation only takes place when the diverse voices at the table reflect who we are as a province. We love conversations that are genuine and inclusive, reflect varied cultures and lived experiences, and run just a touch rowdy. These are the conversations that connect us. To each other and to the world.
Performers:
Emma Stevens
Reeny Smith and The Sanctified Brothers
DRUM!
The presentation of this performance was a true collaboration among Develop Nova Scotia, the Black Business Initiative, the Black Cultural Centre for Nova Scotia, the Province of Nova Scotia, and Halifax Stanfield International Airport. This performance is a shining example of how we can do great work when we work together.
