LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT 

We acknowledge that the land upon which we gather is in Mi’kma’ki, the ancestral and unceded territory of the Mi’kmaq People. This land is governed by the Treaties of Peace and Friendship. We pay our respects to the Indigenous Mi’Kma’ki People who have occupied this land for over 12,000 years; past, present, and future.  We also recognize the 400+ year history of communities of African descent and the 50 African Nova Scotian communities throughout the region today.

WHY THIS SPECIAL DAY 

June 13 is #LTC Proud Day annually in Nova Scotia. This year our theme is Together We Are Long Term Care Proud. It is also National Long Term Care Day across Canada. This is a time to pause and celebrate those working in long term care and to thank them for making this vital sector their chosen career. LTC is truly a calling! It is a day to officially celebrate the expertise, dedication, meaningful relationships, connections, moments of joy, affection and care provided by staff every day in nursing homes throughout this province and nation.
