Canada and Nova Scotia welcomes newcomers. Immigrants, refugees, students, workers and travellers make both our country and our communities stronger. If it weren’t for Nova Scotia welcoming our family with open arms, our dreams would never have become a reality.
Just like all asylum seekers, we never asked for the war in Syria to start. We never asked to have our factory and our home destroyed by airstrikes. We never asked to have to leave everything behind. We never asked to have to become refugees for years.
What we did ask for, however, was a chance. An opportunity to start over. To be allowed to dream once again. To know our family was safe. Nova Scotia gave us that chance.
Nova Scotians are caring and compassionate people, and we would never choose anywhere else in the world to be. Thank you all for taking a chance on our family, and all families just like ours, who only dream to be safe. Love is the answer, and may we always remember that no one comes here empty.

The response to our campaign to get Council to send the Windsor St Exchange design back to the drawing board has been impressive. We have been cc’d on a number of letters , some long and involved and some short and sweet. We have reached over 10,000 people! It’s not too late.
URGENT CALL TO ACTION
HRM staff are proposing a new design for the Windsor St Exchange that is rooted in 20th-century thinking. They rejected our calls for dedicated transit lanes, and separated cycling lanes and sidewalks.
Write your Councillor to demand better!
