Halifax Tides Womens Soccer Club - Members Statement

CLAUDIA CHENDER: I rise today to recognize Nova Scotia's first professional women's soccer club, the Halifax Tides. Since the unveiling of their team name and logo in June 2024, the club has been busy building their impressive roster of players, both local and international, and running their first training camps. Beyond competition, the Halifax Tides' mission statement is to create an environment locally where every player can flourish, every fan can find belonging, and every individual can realize their full potential.

By leading with authenticity and warmth, creating moments of joy through unforgettable experiences, and cultivating strong relationships, the Tides will be a thriving professional soccer club that demands global and national attention - and attention from my family for sure.

As we approach the inaugural season this Spring, and the first match April 26th at the Wanderers Grounds, I ask this House to join me in celebration of CEO Courtney Sherlock, President Val Malone, and all those who have worked to bring this dream team into reality.
