Mid-Summer Update
I can't believe it's August already!
My team and I have been busy attending events, meeting community members, moving into our new office - and of course taking some time to enjoy all the fantastic things summer in Nova Scotia has to offer.
This past weekend we walked in the 122nd Annual Pepsi Natal Day Parade. It was so nice for the parade to cross the bridge again like it used to, so people in Halifax and Dartmouth all got to enjoy it. What a warm welcome we received as we walked through the tolls on the Dartmouth side - a true Dartmouth welcome.
We are slowly moving into our office this week. Our phone lines are up and running. There are still a few final touches that need to be done on the renovations -but overall we are ready to go.
Stop by and visit my Constituency Manager Julia, she is ready to help you out with anything you need.
Looking forward to the last few weeks of summer before we get back into the swing of things in the fall!
