Road to Economic Prosperity

African Nova Scotians have always been dedicated to building a strong, vibrant and prosperous community. The history of Peoples of African Descent in Nova Scotia is filled with instances of community mobilization to building capacity for socio-economic self-sufficiency. For generations, African Nova Scotians have advocated for unity and prosperity, and have remained committed to building and maintaining their community by carrying each other’s challenges and solving them together.

The Road to Economic Prosperity Action Plan is a continuation of the legacy of community-led efforts. The plan continues the work that African Nova Scotian communities have been doing for generations. It remains committed to ongoing community efforts, and most importantly, it provides a space for realizing future opportunities for all people of African descent.
