As a 6th generation descendant of original Scottish highlanders to the Talbot Settlement, Trevor Aitken has had a lifelong interest in the Scots Gaelic language. Trevor spent studied the Gaelic language for 26 years and wants to bring the Gaelic language back to the local community where it used to be spoken as a first language. Like many cultures in many places, we too have lost a language and the culture and knowledge that went with it.
The latest Canadian census from 2021 points to a devastating fall in the number of people learning Scots Gaelic. It is hoped that through these local presentations that interest in learning it can be sparked among old and young alike.
