We will celebrate in both Halifax and Truro with a Mi’kmaw welcome and smudging ceremony at 4:30 p.m. followed by a feast at 5:00 p.m.

Designed in consultation with Catherine Martin, Director of Indigenous Community Engagement, the menu will blend the traditional with the contemporary, including lusknikn and molasses, beef stew, and blueberry tarts.
