Women and Men who Changed and Inspired Nova Scotia, 1867—2017
In case you're wondering, yes, it was a challenge to select only a few dozen Nova Scotia difference-makers for this exhibit — considering there have been several million Nova Scotians since 1867.
Our picks were guided not by celebrity but by the impact, legacy and worthy example we felt these individuals made. With these selections, we aim to reflect Nova Scotia's history, identity and diversity.
And yes, there are many remarkable people not presented here. We had only so many spots. We would be delighted if this exhibit sparked further conversations about the past, present and future of our province.
