The General Council of the Celtic League has voted unanimously to become members of the Comhairle na Gaidhlig/Gaelic Council of Nova Scotia, following an invitation from its Administrative Officer in December 2007.
Links with Comhairle na Gaidhlig have been strengthened since the League's AGM in Caerdydd, Cymru after the following resolution was passed:
"For the Celtic League to build on its links, develop cooperation and establish new contacts with other organisations and groups internationally that work to promote the Celtic languages, culture and identity of the Celtic people e.g. Office of Gaelic Affairs in Nova Scotia."
In November 2007 the League's General Secretary wrote to the Comhairle na Gaidhlig suggesting that closer cooperation between our two organisations may be of mutual interest to our members, in line with our position to promote the Celtic languages, culture and identity of the Celtic people.
Comhairle na Gaidhlig works to promote and protect the Scottish Gaelic language and culture in the Canadian province of Nova Scotia.
The Celtic League's membership of Comhairle na Gaidhlig will represent the first occasion that a formal link with another organisation is sought.
Contact has also been maintained between the League and the Chief Executive Officer, Lewis MacKinnon, at the Office of Gaelic Affairs in Nova Scotia.
