1st Miss Black Canada crowned 25 years ago this week
25 years ago on this date in Toronto I became the 1st Miss Black Canada. At age 18 no one expected this Scotian girl would take home the crown but I got the judges with my public speaking. Contestants would ask me where I was from as they were from the islands or African countries. Had to give them a history lesson about African Nova Scotians (We Been Here 400 +). Scotian for the win! ?✊?
Annual Black golf tournament returns to Truro [2021]
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.
