Canada Halifax Mission
My Mission Boundaries Include:
Background:"The earliest settlements in this area date back to the early 1600s, and there is a unique cultural blend of Irish, English, and French. There are many communities that bast a predominantly French population, and that, combined with unique and colorful Nova Scotian/Newfoundland expressions and accents, makes it a fun and interesting place to serve...
Missionaries have served here since the early days of the restoration of the church. The first missionaries came to Nova Scotia in 1847. Such well known leaders as Truman G. Madsen, Boyd K. Packer, Paul H. Dunn, and David B. Sorensen have presided over the mission in the past. Much has been accomplished, but there is much more to be done." -Brian D.
