Congratulations to East Preston’s Dolly Williams, one of six African-Canadians featured on the 25thanniversary Legacy Poster, in recognition of her years of social activism and service to the community. In addition to the many boards she has served on, Williams is also the author of the important book, Black Women Who Made a Difference in Nova Scotia.
Artist Robert Small started the Legacy Poster back in the 1990s to celebrate Black History Month. This year’s poster is doubled-sided, bilingual, in full colour, with Small’s portraits and brief biographies of Williams (lower right) and the five other honorees this year.

Thanks officials for approving a replacement for ESDH.
As part of our effort to offer different perspectives on the site selection process, the Cooperator will be producing a series of interviews with people who are working on defining what that process ought to look like. The first interview in this series took place on November 12, 2018 with Kent Smith, chair of the Musquodoboit Harbour & Area Chamber of Commerce & Civic Association. The Chamber has published a detailed report arguing that the new high school should be sited in Musquodoboit Harbour in order to provide students with access to all the services already available, from the rink to the hospital to the library. This video is 8 minutes long.
