• Investigators have executed over 100 judicial authorizations and interviewed more than 200 people without gathering sufficient evidence to lay charges.
• The Nova Scotia Major Unsolved Crimes Program has offered a $150,000 reward for information that leads to convictions but has not produced any actionable tips.
• A safety audit conducted after last year’s violence prompted the installation of brighter lights throughout Africville Park and a vehicle registration process at park entrances.
• Attendance has rebounded to roughly 5,000 former residents and descendants who gather annually to honor the Black community razed in the 1960s.
• Community leaders describe the gathering as a statement of resilience and a commitment to preserving Africville’s cultural heritage.
