Weymouth Falls Community Land Trust
Our mission is to provide a platform for a vibrant community voice that stewards the land of Weymouth Falls by intersecting opportunities for growth and development with historical preservation of its cultural identity and assets. We seek to create a passionately empowered and actively engaged community.
About Us
For generations legacy residents and descendants of Weymouth Falls have had a desire to return to the community we affectionately know as ‘down home’. WFCLT has been established to make this dream a reality. We aim to preserve, protect and steward our ancestral lands for community use and benefit to prevent the erasure of our community culture.
A Legacy Worth Preserving
Weymouth is a deeply rural village in Nova Scotia that has historically been home to Black settlers, Acadian settlers, and Mi’kmaq peoples. Weymouth Falls specifically is the Black Loyalist settlement, and African Nova Scotians from the region have made noteworthy contributions to the Canadian landscape. We believe the memories, stories, and contributions made in and by this community are worth preserving.
