⚓ Halifax will raise a flag in honour of the world's seafarers on June 25.

Join Mayor Andy Fillmore at Grand Parade at 9:00 a.m. for a special proclamation and flag-raising ceremony marking the International Day of the Seafarer.

Every day, seafarers work behind the scenes to transport the goods we rely on—from food and clothing to vehicles, electronics, and household essentials. In fact, more than 90% of global trade travels by sea.

The International Day of the Seafarer is an opportunity to recognize the dedication, sacrifice, and hard work of these essential workers, who often spend months away from their families while keeping the global economy moving.

Members of the public are invited to attend this brief ceremony and join in thanking the men and women whose work connects communities and countries around the world.

Unraveling UNRWA Film Screening in Halifax – One Night Only

“The film excels in its comprehensive historical research, revealing new layers and diverse perspectives on the controversial relief organization UNRWA. Its impressive research work combines in-depth examination of sources, living witnesses, and rare archival documentation, weaving them into a rich, complex, and thought-provoking mosaic.” Winner, Investigative Documentary Award, Haifa International Film Festival

(Halifax/Kjipuktuk, NS) The Atlantic Jewish Council, in conjunction with the Atlantic Jewish Film Festival, is screening the 2025 documentary, Unraveling UNRWA, on Sunday, June 14. The film screens at 7:30 p.m. at Paul O’Regan Hall, Halifax Central Library. Please use the Queen Street doors. Advance ticket purchase is required at AJFF.ca. Tickets are $10 general and $8 for seniors and students.

The film will be followed by a conversation between veteran Israeli journalist Yaron Deckel and Olga Milosevich, retired radio CBC Radio broadcaster, with audience Q&A to follow.

Synopsis
Following the October 7th massacre and allegations that UNRWA staff were involved in the kidnappings, the agency made headlines around the world. The Israeli German co-production traces UNRWA’s 75-year evolution, from its post-1948 origins as a temporary relief organization for Palestine refugees to its pivotal and often controversial role amidst the decades-long Israeli Palestinian conflict. It unravels new and surprising insights, offering an inside look at the only UN agency dedicated to a single group of people.

Yaron Deckel currently serves as the Jewish Agency for Israel Regional Director to Canada. One of the most respected and well-known journalists in Israel, Yaron Deckel’s career spans over three decades as a political reporter and commentator for both radio and television. Between 2002–2007 Deckel served as the Washington DC Bureau Chief for Israeli Public TV where he covered US-Israel relations. Deckel is the winner of several awards including the Sokolov Award, the most prestigious award for journalists in Israel.

Olga Milosevich is a retired CBC Radio Broadcaster who spent 30 years as a host and producer, including on programs such as Weekender, Music Alive, Connections and Mainstreet.” She retired in 2012 and was awarded the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medal in recognition of her contributions to the community.
