Les prix sont décernés aux étudiants dont les candidatures illustrent le mieux les contributions des
Afro-Néoécossais à l’histoire, au patrimoine et à la culture de notre province et de notre pays.
• Les Défis sont ouverts à tous les élèves, classes et écoles de la Nouvelle-Écosse.
• Les soumissions seront acceptées du 1er décembre 2022 au 20 février 2023
• Toutes les bourses comprennent des bourses en espèces.
• Toutes les informations demandées doivent être remplies dans le formulaire d’inscription pour être
incluses dans le processus de jugement.
• Les décisions du juge seront considérées comme définitives.
• Les juges tiendront compte du contenu, du niveau scolaire, de la créativité et de la présentation lors
de l’évaluation de chaque soumission.
• Les prix seront décernés par catégorie : école secondaire (10e 12e année); premier cycle du secondaire
(7e -9e année); et élémentaire (P-6).
• Les soumissions post-marquées ou livrées après la date limite ne seront pas prises en compte.

Assurez-vous d’inclure votre formulaire d’inscription avec votre (vos) soumission(s).
Nous apprécions grandement les efforts déployés pour emballer les soumissions et les envoyer par la
poste ou les déposer au Delmore “Buddy” Daye Learning Institute (DBDLI) à Halifax, en Nouvelle-
Écosse. Nous espérons également créer une exposition de travaux que vos amis, votre famille et le grand
public pourront voir une fois la date limite de soumission dépassée au cours de l’année à venir, donc
avoir les soumissions réelles en main est toujours idéal pour non seulement être inclus dans une exposi-
tion, mais aussi pour s’assurer que nous obtenons le plein effet du travail d’un élève.
Mais nous comprenons également que l’envoi des soumissions ou leur dépôt au DBDLI peut ne pas être
possible pour tous ceux qui souhaitent participer aux défis de l’histoire Afro-Néoécossaise. C’est pour-
quoi cette année, nous offrons la possibilité d’envoyer vos soumissions virtuellement.
Contactez historychallenges@dbdli.ca si vous avez des questions.

plus longue protestation continue de l’histoire canadienne.
Eddie Carvery began the longest political protest in
Canadian history when he set up his protest camp at
Africville in 1970. He maintains his protest camp at
Africville where he gladly shares the history of his former
community with visiting tour groups and schoolchildren.
• Les résidents d’East Preston, North Preston, Cherry Brook,
et Lake Loon se bat pour obtenir des titres clairs sur ses
terres. Cette problème remonte au 18ème siècle, lorsque les
colons Noirs sont arrivés en Nouvelle-Écosse et n’ont pas
obtenu de titre légal sur leurs terres. Angela Simmonds et
d’autres membres de la communauté travaillent ensemble
pour changer cette injustice historique vieille de 200 ans.
