Reparations spark a debate in Canada, especially in Nova Scotia where some in the black community say it's time they were compensated for the generations of suffering slavery and racism: North Preston is a rural community in eastern Halifax Regional Municipality, Nova Scotia, in Canada. The community borders its sister community East Preston. It is populated by almost 100% African Canadians. The community traces its origins to the immigration of former African American slaves and loyalists in the 18th century as well as black American refugees from the Chesapeake in the War of 1812. North Preston is also the oldest and largest indigenous Black community in Canada. It's the home of boxer Kirk Johnson Nova Scotia in black context: People of African descent have been living in Nova Scotia for almost 300 years. In Acadia, from the early to mid 1700s, there were more than 300 people of African descent in the French settlement at Louisbourg, Cape Breton. In Halifax in 1751 there were 15 Black people. Between 100 and 150 people of African descent were among the new settlers, now known as the Planters, who came from New England after the British gained control over Nova Scotia in 1763. Over 3,000 Black people came as part of the Loyalist migration between 1783 and 1785. In 1796, 550 people, known as the Maroons, were deported from Jamaica to Nova Scotia. In 1800 they were relocated to Sierra Leone. Some 2000 escaped slaves came from the United States during the War of 1812, under conditions similar to those of the Black Loyalists. They had thrown in their lot with the British between 1812 and 1816 and were offered freedom and land in Nova Scotia. They moved into the Halifax area to settle at Preston, Hammonds Plains, Beechville, Porter's Lake, and the Lucasville Road, as well as the Windsor area. In the early 1900s Black immigrants were actively recruited from Barbados, West Indies to work in Cape Breton for the Dominion Coal Company. This community survives to the present day in Whitney Pier, Glace Bay and New Waterford. People of African descent continue to immigrate to Nova Scotia today.
