Archy Beals Legacy Awards
We 
are raising funds to create an annual award(s) to honour the life’s work and legacy of Archy Beals. Archy has worked at NSCC for 27 years as the very first African Nova Scotian employee in Student Services. Archy has worked at every single NSCC campus and within every single African Nova Scotian community across the province. As a result, he is well known far and wide as a community builder, leader, educator and strong advocate for inclusion and representation in education. Archy’s focus on building a more equitable community, has laid an incredible foundation and legacy for opportunities and success for all students and staff at NSCC.
Archy has been a committed community volunteer with numerous organizations, Boards and Agencies in the province of Nova Scotia including the Association of Black Social Workers, the Provincial Advisory Committee on Education, the Council on African Canadian Education and is a staunch advocate and champion for justice, equity and work in anti-racism in education. Most recently, under Archy’s leadership, the Preston Township Emergency Response Team won the 2020 Nova Scotia Human Rights Award.
The funds raised in his honour will support students of African descent who have graduated from a Nova Scotia High School who study in any program at any campus at the college to help with costs for tuition, books, and any additional fees.
