Black Fatherhood Unity March this Sunday in Halifax (Father’s Day!)
“Father’s day!! This Sunday come and celebrate the Black men in our lives. . We are looking to showcase the unbreakable bond of fatherhood in the black family and our role in our families and the community collectively. So bring the spouse kids and everyone along! The emphasis is to honor Black men but this is fully family friendly. Having kids is not a requirement the only requirement is your bond with Black men.
Join us this Sunday as we share fun, games, conversations, joy, love and fellowship. For any questions you can contact me directly or Phillip Guy (Jnfo is on the flyer). Hope to see you there! ❤️??
A special thanks to 902manup and the Nova Scotia Brotherhood for helping this vision become reality!”

Festival for Black Nova Scotian filmmakers back on stage for this spring
A film festival created for Black Nova Scotian filmmakers is now open for submissions and its organizer hopes the event will go ahead without COVID restrictions for the first time since 2019.
The Emerging Lens Film Festival is now in its 13th year. Co-founder Shelley Fashan said the idea for the festival first came about in 2010 when she attended the screening of a documentary by East Preston filmmaker Tara Taylor, who eventually became Emerging Lens’ other co-founder.
