September Sun

September Sun


As summer continues to cast its warm glow over our community, we’re all eagerly preparing for the back-to-school season this week.


September brings a host of exciting events to downtown Dartmouth. On September 8th, don’t miss the 10th Annual Halifax Colour Festival. This vibrant celebration promises a day full of music, dancing, and colourful fun, all with free entry! The first 500 attendees will receive a complimentary colour pouch, and there will be games with chances to win tickets to future events and other great prizes. It’s a fantastic opportunity for family and friends to come together and spread joy and love throughout our community. Learn more here about the Halifax Colour Festival!


I am deeply inspired by the collective effort and passion we’ve seen from our community regarding Dartmouth Cove. In the absence of the approvals required from every order of government, and the lack off meaningful engagement with the community, this project cannot proceed. Your commitment to standing up for what is right and ensuring our community’s values are upheld fills me with immense pride. This spirit of unity and action underscores the strength of our community and the importance of advocating for what matters most to us all. Reach out to my office if you want to sign a petition in support of the Coastal Protection Act.


We hear from people in Dartmouth South every day who are struggling with housing challenges. To address this pressing issue, our focus is on practical solutions that increase the availability of affordable rental units, support innovative housing projects, and ensure fairness in residential tenancy and protection for renters. By prioritizing these efforts and listening to the needs of our community, we can work towards creating a housing environment that supports all Nova Scotians.


As always, if you need assistance or would like to share your thoughts, please don’t hesitate to reach out to my office. I’m here to support you and represent you in the legislature.


Wishing you a wonderful end to summer and a smooth transition into the new season!


Warm regards,

Claudia

Labour Day

Thank you to the Halifax-Dartmouth District Labour Council for another inspiring Labour Day. I was happy to honour the workers who are fighting - and winning - better wages, better working conditions, and lifting us all up in the process.

Protect Dartmouth Cove

I promise to stay involved and advocate for Dartmouth Cove. Your commitment to standing up for what is right and ensuring our community’s values are upheld fills me with immense pride. Reach out to my office if you want to sign a petition in support of the Coastal Protection Act.

Common Roots Community Picnic

If you haven’t had a chance to check out Common Roots Wednesday Market - here is an idea of how beautiful their produce is. This picnic was such a lovely way for our community to connect, I can’t wait until the next event!
