Welcome Accommodations Cultural Mosaic The Halifax Explosion ... Request Information The Multicultural Mosaic of Nova Scotia For thousands of years, the native Mi’kmaqs hunted and fished the bountiful lands and waters of present-day Nova Scotia. Soon after John Cabot’s exploration of North America in 1497, European fishermen sailed to the shores of the new land, eager to take advantage of the seemingly endless cod stocks. In 1605, the French established the first permanent European settlement in what is now Canada. They named their small settlement Port Royal, and named the vast lands surrounding it, Acadie. However, the British wanted the land for their own. In 1713, the Treaty of Utrecht gave the British a strong foothold in this part of the New World they gave it their own name, Nova Scotia, Latin for New Scotland. The French and English vied for dominance, moving people to and fro as chess pieces in the battle. The British recruited a large number of German and Swiss Protestants to come to this untamed land as farmers. In 1755, they also ordered the deportation of 10,000 French Acadians, who wandered across North America, dispossessed of all they knew. Longfellow immortalized their plight in his epic poem, Evangeline. Some of the Acadians made their way to Louisiana their descendants are known today as ‘Cajuns.’ The Expulsion of the Acadians, as it is known, has gone down in history books as a tragic event in Canadian history.

33. The Bluenose Jugglers nova scotia juggling club that also does other circus arts. http://www.chebucto.ns.ca/Culture/BluenoseJugglers/bluenose.html

The Bluenose Jugglers History Although juggling and the circus arts do not have a long history in Nova Scotia, this seedling is definitely sprouting! The origins of our club are in a small group of jugglers, unicyclists, mimes and tightrope walkers who began to meet in 1982 under the auspices of Portable Mime Theatre . For the next several years jugglers continued to gather under the 'Juggle Jam' banner to teach each other new tricks and work together on routines. In time local performing groups like Fool's Paradise Jest in Time and Just Us grew from these gatherings. These days the club meets under the auspices of the YMCA and is know as the Bluenose Jugglers Visitors to the Club Over the years the club has played host to many prominent teacher's and performers including the internationally acclaimed clown Bob Berkey , circus teacher Hovey Burgess , mime Don Reider , author Richard Dingman and others. Circus Stars Many internationally famous performing jugglers have visited Halifax and have been hosted by the club. These include Sergei Ignatov Vycheslav Anokhin Victor Filipovitch Evgenii Biljauer ... Andrei Nikolaev , Gennadi Tregoub, and Valerii Tabenkov all of whom have been in Nova Scotia in different travelling companies of the Moscow Circus, Elena Lev who came with the Cirque du Soleil, and Li Li-ping, a marvellous antipodist who came as part of the

39. Pomorze Polish Folkdance Ensemble Halifax, nova scotia, Canada http://www.chebucto.ns.ca/Culture/BluenoseJugglers/pomorze.html

POMORZE POLISH FOLKDANCE ENSEMBLE Pomorze, Nova Scotia's Polish Folkdance Ensemble, was born in 1983. During the last several years the ensmeble has been "dormant" however, it has recently started up again and rehearsals are once again in progress. See the information below on how to get involved. During its past incarnation, Pomorze grew from a small group of enthusiasts to a well-organized company with a full repertoire. During that time Pomorze gave over one hundred fifty performances at occasions such as the Polish Dance Festival of the Americas in both Boston and Montreal, the Canadian Polish Dance Festival in Toronto, the Seventh and Eighth International Festival of Polish Folkdance Ensembles in Rzeszow, Poland, the Canada Games Festivities in Cape Breton, the visit of His Holiness Pope John-Paul II in Halifax, The Nova Scotia International Tattoo, the first annual 'A Day in Poland' celebrations, and many multicultural events and celebrations. Pomorze's performances in Poland earned them the Medal of Honour from amongst the fifty-five companies from eleven countries who participated. Pomorze also produced two half hour television programs for Halifax Cablevision entitled Zabawa - Poland Dances Pomorze's costume collection is one of the best of its kind in Canada with six complete colourful sets of eight men's and women's costumes for the dances in the repertoire. All the costumes are authentic folk costumes, for the most part made in their respective regions of Poland. The collection also includes smaller numbers of costumes from other regions. The original music to which the dances are performed was scored for eight instruments and recorded by local musicians.
