Bluenose Autosport Club would like to take a moment to shine a light on the incredible team at the West Dalhousie Community Hall. When our original Trout Lake Rally needed a home base, they welcomed us with open arms and helped make everything run smoothly. Their kindness, professionalism, and dedication truly made a difference for everyone involved - we couldn’t have asked for better partners.

Right now, the West Dalhousie Community Hall is facing a tough challenge as wildfires impact their community. These amazing volunteers are working around the clock to keep everyone safe, even as their own resources are stretched thin.

Let’s show them the same support they’ve shown us. If you can, please consider donating to help the West Dalhousie Fire Hall continue their life-saving work and recover from the impact of the wildfires. Every little bit makes a difference.

Email transfers can be sent to: westdalhall@gmail.com - they are a registered charity, therefore capable of issuing income tax deductible receipts.

Also consider gift cards for food, gas, or restaurants. These can be dropped off at the Bridgetown Salvation Army, where they can be distributed to community members in need or can be sent to the community hall and they will see that they make their way to community members.

Thank you for supporting our local heroes. 💙🚒
