Visit to Nova Scotia January 2007
The last week of January, we visited Fred's family in Halifax, Nova Scotia and while we were driving there, visited the Glooscap Heritage Centre which is located 8 km east of Truro. It is easily identified from the highway with this huge 40 foot tall statue of Glooscap, who is a spiritual legend that is an important part of the Mi'kmaq history. The centre has an Aboriginal Art Gallery and a Gift Shop. The statue is a bronze and shines in the Sun. Millbrook First Nation has an on-reserve pop. of 729 people.
