Annapolis Valley First Nation

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Annapolis Valley First Nation is composed of two Mi'kmaq First Nation reserves located in southwestern Nova Scotia. As of 2023, the Mi'kmaq population is 121 on-Reserve, and approximately 200 off-Reserve for a total population of 321.[1] The community has a gas bar, tobacco shop, gaming centre, health centre, and a chapel.[2] It is the smallest First Nation community in Nova Scotia in terms of population.

In 1984 Glooscap First Nation separated from Annapolis Valley First Nation and became its own community.[3]
