Black Canadian history is still being written today. I remember when the "Angelique" story was first published in Le Devoir after being discovered in a Jesuit monastery by two female summer students. She was not a slave but a paid servant married to an indentured Irishman. Her entire life story including her execution was confirmed in a notarized document. The story caused quite the controversy in academia since slavery was thought to exist in Montreal. Women in Montreal were so taken by the story and the barbarity of her execution that they funded a statue of Angelique in front of city hall in old Montreal contrary to the words of the notary " her ashes thrown to the wind, forever forgotten ". Since that time, the story has been rewritten by Afua Cooper and Angelique pronounced a slave and a symbol of black resistance led by a woman. Who knows, perhaps with the passage of time the story will change again.

I have been to Canada from the States many times and never heard of this community in NS.

Be careful reading/viewing Black Canadian History. The story of Angelique(below) is but one example. Acquaint yourself with the history of Black Loyalists.

The first slavery in Canada was actually indigenous people enslaving other indigenous peoples for hundreds of years before any European's got there. And then when they did, Europeans were enslaved by indigenous people before Europeans enslaved any indigenous people. Slavery was also made illegal by the British Empire in 1834 (the first in the world to do so) 30 years before Canada became a country. But Ontario outlawed it in the 1790's even before that. And it's estimated Canada's underground railroad free'd at least 100,000 slaves from the south, over 20x the slaves Canada had at it's most.
