Baile nan Gàidheal Highland Village Receives Canadian Heritage Funding

Coimhead air na tha sinn ris an dràsda! Baile nan Gàidheal Highland Village is thrilled to announce we've been awarded $45,666 through the competitive Canadian Heritage Museums Assistance Program (Access to Heritage Component-Atlantic Canada).

Over the next two years, this funding will support 'Ann an Clò: Jonathan G. MacKinnon and the History of Gaelic Print in Nova Scotia', a research project that will culminate in a travelling exhibit exploring the remarkable history and impact of Gaelic publishing in Nova Scotia with a special focus on the life and legacy of Jonathan G. MacKinnon.

Through MacKinnon's story, Ann an Clò will shine a light on the role of print and literacy in preserving and sharing Gaelic language and culture in Nova Scotia. At its heart, the exhibit will highlight the lasting impact that dedicated individuals can have in strengthening and sustaining their communities.

We look forward to sharing more as research and development of Ann an Clò gets underway.
