For too long Canada’s LGBTQ2 public servants were persecuted and often fired just for being who they are. That makes flag raising ceremonies at places like the Bedford Institute of Oceanography in Dartmouth particularly important. We need to keep working hard to continue breaking down systemic barriers and building a society where everyone has [...]
So great to catch up with staff and clients at DASC Industries in Dartmouth. This superb social enterprise provides more than just good programs for adults with an intellectual disability, DASC helps clients achieve their true potential. It’s a wonderful place where you can feel a true sense of community too. It’s incredible and [...]
UPDATE ON NATIONAL PHARMACARE! I’m so excited about this!!!! As you know, I firmly believe that no one should have to choose between putting food on the table or paying for the prescription drugs they need. That’s why I’m a strong advocate for national universal pharmacare—and it just moved forward in a BIG way! [...]
When I’m not working, spending time with family & friends, or out in the community, I love repairing and saving vintage speakers and audio equipment from landfills. Giving them new life! So many projects, but so little time. My turntables and amplifier are from the 1970s, my speakers are from the 1980s and 90s… [...]
Please share. Our friends at VETS Canada had their mailbox thrown through their window at 170 Ochterloney Street in Dartmouth. This hateful vandalism has no place in our community! Did you see anything out of the ordinary? Do you know anything about this? Please let HRP know: 902-490-5016

I love a good cup of coffee. Awesome news!!! Our pals at Port City Coffee Company just opened a new location. They’re roasting beans, selling coffee making supplies, and serving great coffee + baked goods from this new spot! I’m blown away by the number of new businesses opening up in Dartmouth—Cole Harbour. We’re so [...]
OMG we loved this! Did you know that the Cole Harbour Heritage Farm Museum has a lovely Wednesday market (weather permitting) from 1-3pm?!? From seasonal produce to delicious baked goods—it’s wonderful. I tried the farm’s coconut curry soup and it was so delicious. Oh, and a cinnamon bun from the market too. I hope [...]
Holy Moly! So great to stop by the Woodlawn Mall to finally try Holy Moly Bubble Tea. This small family business is SO fun. They have a super selection of different milk and fresh teas, caffeine free, and cake “batter” based drinks too. They also have lots of fun treats. You can find this [...]
What do you love most about Dartmouth—Cole Harbour? It is our community spirit? Lake Banook? The Sullivan's Pond Geese? Shubie Park? The Salt Marsh Trail? Downtown Dartmouth? The Ferry? The Cole Harbour Heritage Farm? I love this place so much. Whether it was at my tree giveaway, the Farmer’s Market, at Colleen’s Pub, or [...]
