Guysborough County is a county in the Canadian province of Nova Scotia.
Central Nova is a federal electoral district in Nova Scotia,Canada that was represented in the House of Commons of Canada from 1968 until 1996. In 1996,Antigonish County and part of Guysborough County were placed with Pictou County in a new electoral boundaries configuration to form the electoral district of Pictou-Antigonish-Guysborough. A new version of Central Nova was established in 2003 and —in conjunction with the Pictou-Antigonish-Guysborough iteration —represented a significant electoral boundaries change with specific reference to Antigonish County. Between 1867 and 1997,Antigonish County was not in a riding that included Pictou County;rather,it comprised either its own electoral district (Antigonish),or part of other districts shared with Eastern Nova Scotia (Antigonish-Guysborough) and Cape Breton Island communities. In 2013,part of Antigonish County was "placed back" with communities in the electoral district of Cape Breton Canso,a riding which had emerged in part from the former Cape Breton Highlands Canso riding in 1996. The current version of Central Nova includes Pictou County,parts of Antigonish and Guysborough Counties and extends into Halifax Regional Municipality.

Black Nova Scotians are Black Canadians whose ancestors primarily date back to the Colonial United States as slaves or freemen,later arriving in Nova Scotia,Canada,during the 18th and early 19th centuries. As of the 2021 Census of Canada,28,220 Black people live in Nova Scotia,most in Halifax. Since the 1950s,numerous Black Nova Scotians have migrated to Toronto for its larger range of opportunities. The first recorded free African person in Nova Scotia,Mathieu da Costa,a Mikmaq interpreter,was recorded among the founders of Port Royal in 1604. West Africans escaped slavery by coming to Nova Scotia in early British and French Colonies in the 17th and 18th centuries. Many came as enslaved people,primarily from the French West Indies to Nova Scotia during the founding of Louisbourg. The second major migration of people to Nova Scotia happened following the American Revolution,when the British evacuated thousands of slaves who had fled to their lines during the war. They were given freedom by the Crown if they joined British lines,and some 3,000 African Americans were resettled in Nova Scotia after the war,where they were known as Black Loyalists. There was also the forced migration of the Jamaican Maroons in 1796,although the British supported the desire of a third of the Loyalists and nearly all of the Maroons to establish Freetown in Sierra Leone four years later,where they formed the Sierra Leone Creole ethnic identity.
