Your Needles Can Change Lives: Join The Red Scarf Project!
Have you seen the beautiful red scarves popping up in the Halifax Public Gardens on World AIDS Day? That's The Red Scarf Project, and we need your hands to make it happen!
The scarves you knit or crochet become visible symbols of hope and solidarity for people living with HIV in Nova Scotia and help start essential conversations about stigma.
The scarves are available for anyone who needs them.
Here's how to contribute:
Knit or crochet a red scarf.
Drop off or mail your scarf to the HEAL NS office: Suite 200, 5516 Spring Garden Road, Halifax, Nova Scotia, B3J 1G6
Help us cover the Gardens on December 1st with comfort and support!

Join us and the Halifax WAC for a conference, From Broken to Better: Fighting for Workplace Justice

📆 Saturday, September 27, 2025
9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
Schulich School of Law*, Dalhousie University

REGISTER FREE ONLINE: https://www.halifaxwac.ca/fall-conference-from-broken-to-better

🍎 Lunch will be provided. The event is free, and all are welcome - workers, union members, students, activists, and allies. Please register at the link in our bio!

Nova Scotia has some of the weakest labour standards in Canada. Too many workers face low wages, unsafe jobs, unpaid work, or unfair treatment; and the laws aren’t keeping up.

This one-day conference will bring together workers, unions, and community organizations to talk about how we can change that. We’ll learn from each other, identify needed changes, and start building a plan to fix what’s broken and protect workers better.

Hosted with support from the Innis Christie Chair in Employment Law, CCPA-NS, and CLC Atlantic

The Cobequid Community Health Board is proud to celebrate this year’s Wellness Fund recipients! These organizations are making a difference by creating programs and initiatives that support healthier, stronger communities.
Today's spotlight is POSSE. The Peer Outreach Support Services & Education (POSSE) Project, led by and for youth under the Mi’kmaw Native Friendship Center, is expanding its outreach in Sackville through Outreach in the Park. This bi-weekly summer program engages approximately 10 participants per session in outdoor activities, snacks, and relationship-building while providing education and support on mental health, substance use, naloxone, and other public health topics. By combining peer-led outreach with professional training, the initiative fosters safer decision-making, leadership development, and stronger community connections for underserved youth.
