A ceremony took place along the shores of the Harbour, in memory of those lost at Turtle Grove in Dartmouth

An intimate ceremony took place this morning along the shores of the Harbour, in memory of those lost at Turtle Grove in Dartmouth. In 1917, communities were ripped apart, including the Mi’kmaq village of Turtle Grove. They were not given the opportunity to resettle there.
