Programs?? What programs?
Unfortunately, Covid-19 still prevents us from hosting any in-person programs. However, we are rolling with the covid punch and are generating online programming with the Zoom platform. These are uploaded to our East Hants Historical YouTube channel after they air, and to this website in our Virtual Programs page. Go to Virtual Library and check out what we have to offer. Check back regularly as we will be adding more as we present them.
