Glad to comment on this story. Severals NGOs - Brunswick Street Mission publicly, but others privately- have pleaded with the Nova Scotia Government and Housing Nova Scotia to purchase or lease a motel or hotel to quickly add housing capacity. That Adsum for Women & Children is filling this gap is equally impressive and enraging. #Halifax #leadership #nspoli #housing

FYI, for African Nova Scotians who may have and treasure older quilts.

April 1st in the Legislature - green house gas reductions are necessary. - Transcribed:... Mr. Speaker, I want to just take a moment and encourage my fellow members to continue to have in their ambitions and in their sight the urgent need for all of us to respond - from where we are and with whatever influence we have - to climate change and the urgent need to address it. In the first days that this House began to sit again, I did my best to expand my hours in the day to participate in the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association’s conference on climate change. One of the points made there is that we need to see significant reductions in global greenhouse gas emissions before 2030. Right now there’s a lot of conversation and commitments to making changes by 2040 and by 2050, but we actually need to be making changes and emission reductions right now so that we can arrive at 2030 in a place where our children and those younger than us, who are already quite conscious of the threat that we are facing, see that the leaders have taken leadership and confronted this challenge with everything that it requires. #greenhousegases #ghg #climatechange #climateaction #nspoli #halifax #novascotia #hrm #hfx

From April 1st in the Legislature - Thank you to Jason Crawley! Transcribed - Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize a constituent. Jason Crawley has been working as a CRA community volunteer income tax program senior tax filer since 2012. While completing his studies in accounting at Mount Saint Vincent University, Jason began a free tax clinic there, along with faculty member Elizabeth Hicks, and became known as the tax man around campus. He graduated in 2017.... This year, with tax season not ending for another month, Jason has already completed more than 400 returns. Last year he did more than 900 and over the last 11 years he has completed more than 9,000 tax returns, giving freely a phenomenal amount of his time and skill and helping countless people. This essential volunteer work is provided to those with modest incomes and simple tax returns, ensuring that everyone gets benefits to which they are entitled. I thank Jason for his volunteer effort and wish him well as he works towards his designation as a chartered professional accountant. #HRM #hfx #halifax #nspoli #taxes2021 #taxseason #taxman #NovaScotia #community #volunteer
