Mi'kmaq History Month and Treaty Day
Today is the start of Mi'kmaq History Month, a time of year that offers all of us an opportunity to recognize and celebrate the historic presence of the Mi’kmaq, the L’nuk, whose unceded territory we live on and who have lived here for over 14,000 years. Today is also Treaty Day in Nova Scotia, which commemorates the key role of treaties between Nova Scotia Mi’kmaq and the Crown.
Canada's COVID-19 Immunity Task Force has announced its support for a new SARS-CoV-2 study focused on aging Canadians, a population that has been shown to be at greatest risk for severe outcomes from COVID-19 disease. Dal's Susan Kirkland, head of the Department of Community Health and Epidemiology, will be the study's co-principal investigator.
