Gaelic Nova Scotia Month
May is Gaelic Nova Scotia Month, which is a time to celebrate and promote awareness of the history, culture, language, contributions, and achievements of Gaels across the province.
This year’s theme is “‘S ann beò a tha a’ Ghàidhlig an Albainn Nuaidh | Gaelic Lives in Nova Scotia.” One third of Nova Scotians are descendants of Gaels from the Scottish Highlands who settled here in the 1700s and 1800s. While not all speak the Gaelic language, our heritage and identity remain vital elements of Nova Scotia life.
To celebrate, the Municipality of Inverness County is proudly displaying a Gaelic flag and shared a proclamation during the Regular Council Meeting on Thursday, May 8.
