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

From one in a hundred-year floods happening too often, to forest fires and other severe weather—climate change is real and demands action. We’ve all heard that Canada is warming at nearly twice the global rate, and today’s IPCC report spells it out clearly: “It is unequivocal that human influence has warmed the atmosphere, ocean [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

So good to listen to Reeny Smith perform for the Dartmouth Summer Sunshine series today! Did you notice the beautiful African Nova Scotian flags flying on the bridge? Today is Canada’s first official Emancipation Day. Back in March, Parliament passed legislation to officially mark this day to honour and recognize people of African descent [...]

It was great to catch up with Scott Skinner, President and CEO of the non-profit environmental organization Clean Foundation. We chatted about how incredible Downtown Dartmouth is. In fact, we had lunch at the Bright Yard, Brightwood Brewery's newest beer garden on Portland Street. (I recommend it) I had an incredible smoked chicken sandwich! The [...]

Another local gem! The King's Wharf Market carries a wonderful selection of local and other carefully selected products. It didn’t take long before I filled a bag with great finds. And Anthony’s squares are to die for—he bakes them himself. They have a selection of homemade treats and squares, plus he let me know [...]
