Our Genesis

We are five Moroccans friends who have been residents of Halifax, Nova Scotia for over a two decades. During this period, we have witnessed the Moroccan immigrant population in Halifax grow from just a few of us in the early 2000s to nearly 1,000 today. Led by Younes Anini, we decided to establish the Moroccan Society of Nova Scotia.

Our aim is to create a welcoming community and space to support both existing and newly arrived Moroccans in finding their way to a successful and fulfilling life in Nova Scotia, particularly in Halifax. We also aim to offer our youth a society where they can build connections and maintain their cultural heritage. Additionally, we strive to promote Moroccan culture, cuisine, music, history, and lifestyle within the province, ensuring that the rich traditions and vibrant heritage of Morocco are shared and celebrated throughout Nova Scotia.

Our main objectives

Community Connection

We are dedicated to fostering a strong sense of community and belonging among Moroccans in Nova Scotia, providing a supportive network, social gatherings, and volunteer opportunities to encourage meaningful connections and camaraderie.

Cultural Integration

We strive to facilitate the seamless integration of Moroccan culture into the vibrant tapestry of Nova Scotia, fostering cross-cultural understanding and appreciation through events, language classes, and cultural exchange programs.

Empowerment Initiatives

We are committed to providing various empowerment initiatives to help Moroccans in Nova Scotia thrive and achieve their full potential. Through educational programs, skill-building workshops, and mentorship opportunities, we aim to empower our community members to succeed in all aspects of their lives.
