Founded by Nova Scotia's first black lawyer, the Nova Scotia Home for Coloured Children represented a division within the social care of black and white orphans in the province. Built in the 1920's and closed in the 1980's, it was home to many African-Canadian orphans including the father of musician, educator and activist Delvina Bernard, who here presents a piece of the building to the Six String Nation project.

Thank you to the person or persons responsible for this overdue project. If you or anyone you know is a former resident of the Nova Scotia Home for Coloured Children and would like to become part a private social networking site created for former residents email me at kenneth.scott@tdsb.on.ca
My mother is a former resident (1940s) and she and other members would like you to share your experiences at the Home on this site. It is time that people who never lived there learned the truth.
