🌍 African Heritage Month
February is African Heritage Month — a time to learn, reflect, and celebrate the history, culture, achievements, and contributions of African Nova Scotians and people of African descent.
Today we are recognizing some incredible African Nova Scotian athletes and their impact on sports in our province, across Canada, and around the world.
🥊 George Dixon, a boxer from Africville, helped develop shadow boxing and was the first Canadian boxer to win a World Championship.
🏀 Justine Colley-Leger, from East Preston, played for the Saint Mary’s Huskies and is the all-time leading scorer in Canadian university women’s basketball history.
🏃🏾♀️ Marjorie Turner-Bailey, from Lockeport, set four Canadian track and field records.
These are just a few of the many African Nova Scotian athletes who have shaped sports in Nova Scotia and beyond.
Listen carefully to our daily facts — trivia is coming soon!
