Warden Bonny MacIsaac, on behalf of the Council of the Municipality of Inverness County, proclaimed May as Gaelic Nova Scotia Month, Mìos nan Gàidheal, in Inverness County at the Regular Meeting of Council on Thursday, May 7, 2026.
This year's theme is "Tha Sinn Righinn" | We are Resilient." This theme serves to show all Nova Scotians the persistence and resilience between Gaels and Gaelic language and culture during the month of May.
Inverness County boasts a rich Gaelic history, and we acknowledge the importance of Gaelic language and culture to the social, cultural, and economic fabric of the municipality.
Council was pleased to welcome Monica Ragan of the Mabou Gaelic and Historical Society for the reading of the proclamation.
See the proclamation in both English and Gaelic below.
