For nearly three decades, award-winning filmmaker Selwyn Jacob has been telling stories about the lives and experiences of Black Canadians, Indigenous peoples and other often underrepresented communities. Born in Trinidad and Tobago, Mr. Jacob came to Canada in 1968.

A well-deserved Honorary Degree will be awarded to Selwyn Jacob, African Canadian director (and Trinidadian) and producer who has been chronicling the lives of African Canadians - primarily in western Canada - for many years, in addition to the stories of other multicultural communities.  He will be honored at the Convocation ceremonies on Tues. October 8 @ 3pm, Halifax Convention Centre, Convention Hall level, 1650 Argyle St.

Also by this time you have probably heard of the peaceful passing of Ainsley Bellisle. Funeral arrangements are on Wednesday September 18, 2019. Final arrangements are yet to be made. His request is to have a closed casket and to be buried within 3 days of his passing.

Fellow Mausicans,last week I raised the question of our heritage of folk songs, because I could find only Christina" on the internet. Our dear fellow alumnus Dr. Gwendoline Williams has written to me indicating that she has located and has in her possession a store of our audio-taped folk recordings.

Given the heritage value of this, we need guidance on what to do to move these recordings onto You-Tube. Who among us can have this done, on the condition that the originals are returned intact to Gwennie.
