The Centre and Gallery Shop will be closed today, Monday, February 16th for Nova Scotia Heritage Day, and courses are also cancelled. šŸ¤

This year, Heritage Day honours Senator Joseph Willie Comeau, who devoted his life to public service and to strengthening Acadian life in Nova Scotia. Raised in Digby County and educated at CollĆØge Sainte-Anne, he worked across education, business and politics, guided by a deep commitment to community, culture and service.

Over nearly five decades in the Nova Scotia Legislature and the Senate of Canada, he consistently used his voice to support Acadian language, education and cultural expression, earning lasting respect for his leadership and integrity. ā¤ļø
