Journalist and Photographer, Jack Scrine, joins Lindsay remotely to chat about his book HALIfolks: The Faces and Stories of Halifax, a compilation of stories and images from his popular blog/social media project of the same name. He shares his inspiration for the project, his tactics for approaching strangers and helping them to open up, the responsibility of being entrusted with people's intimate stories, and how those stories evolve over time. About Halifolks: In the early 2010s, Australian Jack Scrine found himself in Halifax, Nova Scotia, with plenty of travel experience but little more than a camera to his name. As he wandered the city, he started to capture images that documented the eclectic, the unusual, and the everyday lives of the people around him. A fan of Brandon Stanton's Humans of New York, Scrine realized there were similar stories of love and loss, happiness and sadness, friends and enemies, and embarrassments and triumphs all around him—and Halifolks was born, first as a blog, then as a Facebook page, and now, for the first time, as a book. Featuring 150 captivating colour images of Haligonians, both famous and obscure, Halifolks: The Faces and Stories of Halifax highlights stories that cut to the heart with truth, simplicity, and honesty. It's not every day we are confronted with questions like: When were you happiest? What is your greatest struggle? What is your biggest regret? The answers can be tragic, uplifting, and even funny—but ultimately, they are always healing.

Haligonians aren't supposed to be traveling outside of Halifax right now and that means fewer people booking accommodations in Cape Breton.
If you’ve never heard of Africville, you’re not alone; the tragic story of this small Black community in Nova Scotia is not as well known as it should be. It is part of a much larger story of Black settlers in Nova Scotia, which goes back hundreds of years. Unfortunately, discrimination and poverty presented many challenges for the community of people in Africville. The City of Halifax refused to provide many amenities other Haligonians took for granted, such as sewage, access to clean water and garbage disposal. Africville residents, who paid taxes and took pride in their homes, asked the City to provide these basic services on numerous occasions, but no action was taken. The City compounded the problem by building many undesirable developments in and around Africville, including an infectious disease hospital, a prison and a dump. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/Teddy-G/support
When the munitions ship, the Mont Blanc, exploded in the Halifax harbor, thousands died in an instant, while thousands more were injured, tens of thousands left homeless or buried in the rubble. The devastation took Halifax decades to fully recover from. For two generations, many Haligonians refused to even discuss the tragedy, meaning their stories died with them. Join us for our second episode on the Halifax Explosion, discussing the terrible consequences of a single unlucky accident.
Melanin human beings have lived in Nova Scotia because earlier than the founding of Halifax in 1749. However, it turned into simplest after the yank Revolution, in the past due to the 1700s and early 1800s, that big agencies of Melanin settlers started to arrive within the province. Lots of them had been previously enslaved folks who were promised freedom and land in Nova Scotia, however, when they arrived, they encountered white settlers who regarded them as inferior. Because of racism, Melanin settlers had been pushed to the margins of society and forced to stay on the most inhospitable land. Regardless of this, they persevered, developing robust, vibrant groups. Africville became one such location. Africville becomes a mostly Melanin community placed at the south shore of the Bedford Basin, on the outskirts of Halifax. The primary data of a Melanin presence in Africville date back to 1848, and it continued to exist for a hundred and fifty years after that. Over that time, masses of individuals and families lived there and built a thriving, close‐knit network. There have been shops, a faculty, a publish workplace, and the Seaview United Baptist Church, which became Africville's spiritual and social middle. Sadly, discrimination and poverty offered many challenges for the community of people in Africville. The metropolis of Halifax refused to offer many facilities other Haligonians took with no consideration, consisting of sewage, get admission to easy water, and rubbish disposal. Africville citizens, who paid taxes and took the pleasure in their homes, requested the town to provide those basic offerings on numerous events, but no motion became taken. The town compounded the problem with the aid of constructing many unwanted developments in and around Africville, together with an infectious disease health center, a jail, and a dump. Rather than supplying proper municipal services to the community, the metropolis of Halifax in the end determined to relocate the residents of Africville. The town stated it wanted to construct industry and infrastructure within the vicinity. But it also used the language of human rights, claiming that relocation could improve the usual of living for citizens. In January 1964, Halifax city Council voted to authorize the relocation of Africville residents. Before this choice changed into made, there was no meaningful session with citizens of Africville to gather their perspectives. In fact, it was later reported over 80 percent of residents had by no means had contact with the Halifax Human Rights Advisory Committee, which changed into the group charged with consulting the network.
