Fall is here and with it comes lots of events and avenues to engage with and support the community!
The first Halifax International Fleet Week runs from now until September 10th. There will be lots to see on the Halifax and Dartmouth waterfront and New Scotland Brewing will host the Fleet Week Ceilidh on Saturday, September 9th from starting at 7:00PM. Find our more here!
With back to school comes some added stresses for families, luckily our community is here to help. Christ Church has been distributing backpacks, and if you want to contribute, it’s not too late—there are drop off bins at 50 Wentworth St.
When it comes to school lunches, the Dartmouth Community Fridge has put out a request for people who are able to contribute some snacks that could be included in lunches, and speaking of the Community Fridge, they are having their anniversary bash on Sunday September 17th from 2-4. Plan to drop by if you can and bring some groceries if you’re able or help yourself if you’re not.
