Lily’s Local Lore: Bluenose Edition (Part 1)! 🌊⛵️

Today, Lily is taking us to the Halifax waterfront for a very special chat with Captain Watson aboard the Bluenose II! We’re learning a little more about the history of the Bluenose and the story behind this icon of Nova Scotian maritime heritage. ⚓️

Happy World Folklore Day!🌊📖

Today, we’re chatting about Helen Creighton, the legendary Maritime folklorist from Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, who spent decades travelling throughout the Maritimes collecting songs, stories, legends, and traditions directly from the people who lived them.

From ghost stories to sea songs, Helen helped preserve an incredible piece of our region’s cultural history. 🎶

A huge thank you to our incredible first-ever Artist-in-Residence, Kat Frick Miller, for spending the August long weekend with us at Spindrift Gallery. 🎨💙
