Archy Beals Legacy Award
Inspired by Archy’s commitment to community, the creation of the award was led by his friends and colleagues, Barbara Roberts and Deanna Mohamed. The award honours Archy’s 27 years of service at NSCC and to African Nova Scotian communities across the province and continues his influential support of Black and African Nova Scotian students.
At a dinner and dance celebrating his impact, Archy's incredible work inspired the Jeannine Deveau Achievement Fund to donate $200,000 to the award, and they're matching additional donations up to $400,000.
