El Jones facilitated the conversation with Dr. Lynn Jones, Dr. Sherry Pictou, and Gloria Ann Wesley.

Radiance: new music based on the drawing of Ron Shuebrook
Saturday, 28 June, 2014, MSVU Art Gallery invited this trio of outstanding musicians to translate image into sound, using renowned artist Ron Shuebrook's drawings as graphic scores. The musicians, Lukas Pearse (double bass), D'Arcy Gray (vibraphone), and Jackson Fairfax-Perry (saxophone), took their cues from the richly textured lines in black compressed charcoal and the erased remnants that dance across the paper's surface. The improvised performance, documented in this video, captured the self- assurance and indecision at play in Shuebrook's work.
In Whose Backyard?
Members of Mi'kmaq and African Nova Scotian communities share their stories and struggles on environmental racism. This video was produced as part of the ENRICH Project, a collaboration between communities, university researchers and grassroots organizations. Visit:
Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. Economy, Best Time To Travel
Halifax is the capital city of Nova Scotia and the largest city in the Atlantic Provinces of Canada. Halifax is a busy Atlantic seaport and the economic and cultural hub of Eastern Canada. Halifax is a major economic centre in Atlantic Canada with a large concentration of government services and private sector companies.
LOCATION
The city of Halifax is on Halifax Peninsula, on the west side of the harbour, with Dartmouth to the east. The main landmark is the Halifax Citadel, on a high hill above the city, and it conveniently divides the city into three districts. The downtown core is sandwiched between the Citadel and the harbour, making navigation a snap.
HISTORY
modern Halifax was founded on June 21, 1749 as a British military outpost. In the 19th and early 20th century, Halifax was the entry point for European immigration to Canada. Halifax proved its worth during the Seven Years' War against the French and later in the American Revolutionary War. The first permanent European settlement in the region was on the Halifax Peninsula.
CLIMATE
Halifax has a maritime climate, tempered by its position near the North Atlantic. Summers are pleasant although occasionally humid, and winters are relatively mild, but wet, snowy and windy. January is the coldest month, being the only month with a high that is slightly below freezing at −0.1 °C, while August is the warmest. Snowfall is heavy in winter. August being the year's warmest and driest month on average.
BEST TIME
The best time to visit Halifax is May through October. Summer and fall experience pleasant weather and usher in numerous festivals. However, these months also attract lots of tourists, so be prepared for steep hotel rates. If you're looking to avoid the crowds and the high prices, visit between November and February.
ECONOMY
The urban area of Halifax is a major economic centre in eastern Canada with a large concentration of government services and private sector companies. Halifax serves as the business, banking, government and cultural centre for the Maritime region. Agriculture, fishing, mining, forestry and natural gas extraction are major resource industries found in the rural areas of the municipality. Halifax is one of Canada's top four container ports in terms of the volume of cargo handled.
TOURISM
Halifax's tourism industry showcases Nova Scotia's culture, scenery and coastline. There are several museums and art galleries in downtown Halifax. Halifax has numerous National Historic Sites, most notably Citadel Hill (Fort George). Just outside the urban area, the iconic Peggys Cove is internationally recognized and receives more than 600,000 visitors a year. The waterfront in Downtown Halifax is the site of the Halifax Harbourwalk, popular amongst tourists and locals
