The hallmark of a strong community comes from the people within the community. We are fortunate to be surrounded by amazing people who contribute their time, talents, and skills to enhance the quality of our community, who take care of friends and neighbours, who organize fundraisers, who advocate for causes, who care for the environment, who participate in community organizations, who run businesses, who earn academic, athletic, artistic, or musical achievements.
The Chebucto West Community Health Board announced this year’s wellness fund grants to not-for-profit groups who are passionate about their communities and are working at the grass root level to ensure communities are healthy within their own community. Thank you to this year’s recipients in Timberlea Prospect who have reached out in kindness and compassion to care for their friends and neighbours.
