The Martinique Beach Community Association (MBCA) was created in early 2021 to give people who enjoy Martinique Beach a voice to the three levels of government. To advocate for maintaining and improving infrastructure, and accessibility, and to promote the beach as a tourist destination. The association recognizes the beach as the driver for the local economy whilst planning for the future through the lens of environmental sustainability.
Halifax is in Mi’kma’ki, the ancestral and unceded territory of the Mi’kmaq people. The people of the Mi’kmaw Nation have lived on this territory for millennia, and we acknowledge them as the past, present and future caretakers of this land. Historically, a land acknowledgment is a traditional practice shared amongst Indigenous groups to recognize the Indigenous land and territory they are visiting. Today a land acknowledgement remains a way to express one’s gratitude to the Indigenous people for being stewards of the land that we live and work on.
