Gaelic at Heart is the theme for Gaelic Nova Scotia Month, which starts today, May 1, in celebration of the historical and cultural significance of Gaelic traditions across the province.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMany Nova Scotians can look back on their family history and find Gaelic speakers who made their home in our province,” said Allan MacMaster, Minister of Gaelic Affairs. “This month is an opportunity for all Nova Scotians, from all backgrounds, to discover and claim as their own the Gaelic heritage that continues to make our province the best place in the world to live. Whether it\u2019s learning about the Gaels as a people, a few phrases in the Gaelic language, or experiencing Gaelic music and dance first-hand, every Nova Scotian should feel welcome to experience our province\u2019s heritage in personal and meaningful ways.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nova Scotia\u2019s connection to Gaelic culture is deep and historical, dating back to the 18th and 19th centuries when Gaelic-speaking Scottish settlers arrived. Known as Gaels, these settlers introduced a vibrant culture centred around the Gaelic language. This heritage, evident in many Nova Scotian communities, continues to enrich the province through music, cuisine, hospitality and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nova Scotians are invited to join in celebrating Gaels, the Gaelic language and their cultural heritage and to share their experiences on social media using the hashtag #GaelicAtHeart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Throughout the month, a variety of activities are planned across the province to celebrate Gaelic cultural heritage and identity.
