The New Brunswick Scottish Cultural Association (NBSCA), founded in 1980, proactively encourages public interest in the history, traditions, arts and crafts, and culture of Scotland. It also represents those of Scottish descent and the languages of Scotland within the Province of New Brunswick. The NBSCA has acted as the advocate of New Brunswick's Scottish associations and communities. In fact, the NBSCA works on behalf of the 134,455 New Brunswickers - about one in six - who claim Scottish ancestry (Government of Canada Census, 2016). New Brunswick has a very rich Scottish heritage. Everywhere you will find history of the Scottish immigrants who settled and built this province economically, socially, politically and culturally.
The Executive, the Board of Directors and the Committee Chairs are committed to the promotion of this Association and its work in promoting and protecting the Scottish culture in New Brunswick. We believe that the Association's most important function is to establish links with the different Scottish groups in New Brunswick -- to bind more closely together these diverse groups to improve communication and the sharing of information.
