Second only to the African United Baptist Association’s (AUBA) annual general meeting, Apex is one of the longest-running annual gatherings of Black people in all Atlantic Canada.

Apex was started by a former Truro resident Darrell Maxwell in 1974. It was originally called The Black Golf Tournament and had just under a dozen Black golfers.
