LOOKING FOR HOUSE TO RENT IN LUNENBURG AREA

Hello Lunenburg! I have a new physician and her family moving to Lunenburg in August looking for long term rental accommodations. Need at least 3 bedrooms, and must be in the Bluenose Academy school catchment area. Ideally they would like something that is "walkable" in and around town/school but would consider something farther out as long as it is in the school catchment. They would prefer a house and not an apartment.

If you have something available please email me at martha.marchand@nshealth.ca with the details.

Thank you for supporting our incoming physicians!

We are so proud of our family medicine resident, Dr. Maya Venkataraman, on her recent running of the 130th Boston Marathon. Just days after attending a conference in Quebec City and winning an award (see previous posts), Maya headed to Boston for the marathon. Is there anything this amazing woman can't do? Although she didn't clock her goal time of under 3 hours, we think it's a pretty incredible accomplishment!! Congratulations Maya!

Please join Practice Here Now and the South Shore Health Foundation in congratulating two of our PGY2 family medicine residents, Dr. Maya Venkataraman and Dr. Dennis Brown, on their recent award from the Society of Rural Physicians of Canada (SRPC) for top Resident Research Project. Maya and Dennis presented their poster "Can third year medical students increase proficiency in the AAA PoCUS in 2 hours" at the recent SRPC Rural & Remote Medicine Conference. This was a quality improvement project that they conducted with the South Shore LIC students in 2025.

The South Shore Health Foundation was proud to support Maya and Dennis in this project.

Two weeks ago I travelled to Quebec City for the Society of Rural Physicians of Canada (SRPC) annual Rural & Remote Medicine Conference. Accompanied by one of our amazing family physicians, Dr. Nick Buckler, we spent 3 days having some great conversations about what it's like to live, learn, practice and play on the South Shore. One of the highlights was being able to sponsor four of our current residents to attend the conference, giving them a unique opportunity to learn and connect with other rural residents and physicians.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by our booth and we hope to see you on the South Shore one day!
