Did you know that Gaelic language and culture are integral components of the identity of Nova Scotia, and that Gaels represent one of the earliest non-Indigenous cultural groups to settle in Mi’kma’ki?

This year marks the 29th anniversary of Gaelic Nova Scotia Month, which is a time to embrace, honour and celebrate the language, culture, history, contributions, and achievements of Gaels across the province. 

In order to support new generations of language learners and cultural champions continuing to build upon the legacy of Gaelic Nova Scotia’s tradition bearers, May has been proclaimed as Gaelic Nova Scotia Month in the Town of Amherst.
