Africville was a vibrant, close-knit African Nova Scotian community on the shores of Bedford Basin until the community was expelled in the 1960s. Halifax Harbour Bridges acknowledges and pays respect to its descendants knowing that the building of the MacKay Bridge will forever be tied to the loss of Africville. Halifax Harbour Bridges would like to build a meaningful relationship with the descendants of Africville and, more broadly, African Nova Scotian communities.
