Mike McKegney: Hockey Dreams and Hard Truths from a Trailblazer

Born in Halifax and adopted into a white family in Sarnia, Ontario, Mike McKegney grew up on a backyard rink that helped shape three high-level players: Mike, his older brother Ian (who reached the NHL with Chicago), and his younger brother Tony (who starred in the NHL with Buffalo, St. Louis, and Quebec). In this candid conversation, Mike reflects on his adoption journey, growing up as a Black player in 1960s–70s Canadian hockey, and becoming the first Black player ever signed by the Montreal Canadiens. He shares stories from Sarnia minor hockey, the Kitchener Rangers, pro stops in Nova Scotia, the NAHL, San Francisco, and Switzerland, and what it was like to skate alongside legends in Montreal’s system. Mike also opens up about his experience with hockey's drinking culture in the 1970s, his own struggle with addiction, and how it derailed his NHL ambitions, and the 26 years of sobriety that transform his life. With honesty and humility, he looks back on what might have been, what he’s learned, and why he’s ultimately grateful, for his family, his career, and his life now in Belize.

Africville Heritage Trust's Proposal

In this episode host Eddie Carvery unpacks the Africville Heritage Trust's proposal to acquire more land at Africville, for a larger parking lot and marina. This proposal has once again divided the community into the people for the proposal, from the people against. Eddie Carvery, a descendant of Africville, criticizes the lack of inclusivity in the decision-making process and the potential limitations imposed by the land's National Historic Landmark status. He emphasizes the need for economic opportunities and community development to address generational trauma and displacement. The discussion highlights the importance of balancing historical preservation with future growth and the potential benefits of a UNESCO designation for funding. Eddie calls for a pause in decisions until the ongoing revisioning process is complete.

Silent Depression

In this episode, we look into these changes and the increasing demand for support services during post-pandemic economic hardship. "The Silent Depression" is a term used to describe the observed increase of people seeking help for basic needs like food and shelter post COVID-19. The effects of this depression has exasperated the existing shortage of resources aimed to support survivors of gender-based violence. This episode highlights the urgent need for funding, particularly for clients experiencing poverty, unemployment, marginalization, unsafe living situations and lack of support. Since our last season, the Transition House Association of Nova Scotia has observed a change. As a refresh, THANS is an umbrella organization of violence against women organizations, with 11 members providing services across rural Nova Scotia. Each member is an independent nonprofit organization and maintains its own staff to provide services to women and children in their communities. Communities needs which may include safe shelter 24 hour crisis lines, outreach services and or second stage housing to women and their children who have experienced violence or abuse.

A Pathway Forward

Alfred and Eddie are back, this time with guest Paula Gaviria Betancur, a human rights lawyer and UN expert. The three have a conversation that explores the displacement and resettlement of communities, using the historical context of Africville and other contemporary issues like in Colombia. Eddie discusses the forced relocation of Africville residents and the subsequent loss of community and dignity. Paula highlights the global issue of internally displaced persons (IDPs), noting that 71 million people were IDPs in 2022, compared to 40 million refugees. She emphasizes the importance of documenting and addressing the intangible losses and the need for inclusive, culturally sensitive resettlement strategies. The discussion underscores the resilience of displaced communities and the necessity of political will and community collaboration to achieve justice and reconciliation.

Birth

From the moment Halifax was founded in 1749, enslaved African people were brought to dig out roads and begin building the city. An early Black community found refuge a few kilometres north on the southern shore of the Bedford Basin — an area that became Africville. This is the story of how that small collection of improvised homes, would become one of North America's most important Black communities. If you care about racism, displaced peoples and social justice, then you need to know the story of Africville Forever.
