On November 8, the bust of Canadian Civil Rights Activist, Viola Desmond, was unveiled in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Created by NSS Elected Member Chippie Kennedy, the life-size portrait honors the woman who challenged the segregation policy of New Glasgow, Nova Scotia by sitting in the white section of a movie theater. Her actions help start the modern Civil Rights movement in Canada and in 2018, her image was placed on the Canadian ten-dollar note. Although Viola Desmond died in 1965, her sister, Wanda Desmond, was on hand at the unveiling along with other top Canadian officials.
