The booklet chronicles the stories, leadership, and legacies of the 45 individuals who have served as Mayor of New Glasgow, offering residents and visitors alike a glimpse into the town’s rich history and civic heritage. Limited copies will be available for purchase at $20 each.

Funding Announcement and Groundbreaking Ceremony for Viola’s Way Placemaking Project

 New Glasgow, August 6, 2025: The Town of New Glasgow and The New Glasgow GALMA Society are pleased to invite members of the public, media, and community partners to attend the Funding Announcement and Groundbreaking Ceremony for the highly anticipated Viola’s Way Placemaking Project.

Set adjacent to the former Roseland Theatre, the Viola’s Way initiative will transform this area into a welcoming, inclusive, pedestrian-only space dedicated to reflection, celebration, education, and reconciliation. The project honours the enduring legacy of African Nova Scotian changemakers, including the project's namesake, Viola Desmond.

This transformative initiative is made possible through a collaborative investment from the Federal, Provincial, and Municipal governments, reflecting a shared commitment to advancing cultural recognition, inclusion, and community development. 

Mayor Nancy Dicks shared her enthusiasm for the project, stating:

“Viola’s Way will be so much more than bricks and pathways—it will be a space to reflect, to celebrate, to honour legacy, and to promote learning and healing. It represents a bold and beautiful step forward for our community, and I’m so proud to see this vision coming to life.”
