Mayor Nancy Dicks, Town Council members & CAO invite members of community to attend the official launch of the New Glasgow 150 Anniversary Celebrations on Tuesday, May 6, 2025, at 6 p.m. along the New Glasgow riverfront. The Town will also host a flag raising ceremony at 12 p.m. on May 6, 2025, where a custom flag, designed specifically for New Glasgow’s 150th anniversary, will be raised. All community members are encouraged to attend the flag raising and launch event.

The launch will begin with the official unveiling of a legacy art piece that honours the river that runs through the Town, recognizing its Mi’kmaq name and honouring the Pictou Landing First Nation community, as well as how the river connects us all and gives life to both communities. New Glasgow presents this celebration in the context of truth and reconciliation and is fully committed to creating change while establishing connections that are relational and respectful.

The art piece is being created by local artist Darren Martin, Creative Metals, with inspiration from two beautiful paintings by Indigenous artist Loretta Gould from Waycobah First Nation, who was chosen by PLFN.

The 150 launch will also reflect the African Nova Scotian history of New Glasgow, its strong Scottish roots and the long-standing multicultural heritages through presentations throughout the ceremonial opening and evening. The unveiling of the legacy piece will be followed by a reception with the official cutting and serving of an anniversary cake, and then a concert inside Glasgow Square Theatre.

The concert from approximately 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. will immediately follow the launch ceremony and cake sharing and will feature musical talent from the Town across generations with performances by Doris Mason, Angela Cromwell, Jon Raven with a decades medley, and Sisters Robyn Alcorn and Jodi Alcorn and their families. There will also be a cameo performance by one of New Glasgow’s most iconic performers as a special surprise. As a hint, a Juno nominee!

See you on May 6th!
