I want to congratulate the Council of African Canadian Education for your tremendous commitment to promoting the rights and interests of African Canadian learners.

In Nova Scotia we are tremendously lucky to have such a diverse student population, and your work to ensure equitable access to educational experiences for young African Nova Scotians is admirable.

The Department of Education is committed to expanding the horizons of our learners through an inclusive curriculum that reflects the diversity of Nova Scotia and Canada.

In the past few years, Nova Scotia has made strides in integrating African Canadian heritage in the curriculum by developing specific courses that support your rich culture in this province.

As we work together to foster strong families, grow our communities and workforce, and develop the best and brightest students this province has to offer we must continue to provide equity of opportunity for all Nova Scotians.

Your work plays a key role in that success, and I look forward to continuing our partnership as we focus on the needs and achievements of African Nova Scotian learners.

Sincerely,

Marilyn More
