I am chair of the Kingswood Elementary Sping Fair this year. It is the largest fundraising effort the school has all year in order to assist with educational programs and financial assistance to children who need it.

This year's event is "Fun with Heroes" and I am looking for anyone who knows how to arrange for the military to have a presence. I have firefighters, the police, hospital represented but I would like to have military there to acknowledge their sacrifices. This is Kingswood's fifth year anniversary and want to honour veterans as was done with their monument donated on an event for it's first year.

I would greatly appreciate any effort, contact or suggestion.

Thank you.

Local Farm Land In Nova Scotia

Family farming has been made unprofitable by the provincial and national agricultural policies of the past decades. Increasingly farmers feel pressured to sell their farmland for development. That temporarily solves the farmer's financial problems, but the long term consequences for us all is devastating . . .

We need solutions to help farmers and in my opinion we need to keep real estate development out of farm land. Below is a video I helped film and edit on a local food project in Nova Scotia; it just makes sense.

From the opening line of the video, "Maybe you, maybe you got to go out on the street and say dammit all, look are we crazy? are we are going to lose a history of 400 years of food production because nobody thought about it? Start thinking about it!" The "radio show" 4 minutes into the video is hilarious :-)



Did you hear the entire interview with the farmer from the beginning quote? It starts 13:45 into the video. Paul Colville is on-fire and pretty much sums it all up here.

Let your voice be heard please come to the event on Wednesday the 27th at the Halifax Forum by the The Nova Scotia Agricultural Land Review Committee. Yes this is today! The Halifax Forum is on the corner of Young and Windsor. The meeting is in their multipurpose room which you enter from the Young Street side.

Property assessments up for 2009 in Halifax, Nova Scotia

When I speak with people everyone is so happy that their Real Estate value is going up throughout Halifax and Nova Scotia at large. Because their homes are worth more, right? Real Estate prices in Nova Scotia were up an average of 4.2% in 2009. But the flip side of that is the property assessments are going up too. Assessments were up an average of 6% in 2009. So why 6% if prices were only up 4.2%? That's a good question! Click on the thumbnail above to read the very short article on assessments. Mike Smith is a Realtor in Halifax, Nova Scotia
