Love the sharing of our family’s story! I knew from a young age that our community was special and this recognition exemplifies that and more 🙏🏽

This is lovely. Joe's Kwik-Way (and its milk homo sign) are a Halifax institution https://t.co/BiEBJGsYxY

@hfxtransit @hfxgov @hfxtraffic I think the last point makes sense! Thanks @hfxtransit

[Rima @rthomeh]

Is there a reason why a bus doesn’t use the bus lane when there is traffic back-up? @hfxgov @hfxtransit @hfxtraffic #194

[Rima @rthomeh]

@Timinator @hfxgov @hfxtransit @hfxtraffic No, the lane was all clear then. Someone on the bus did get up to ask the driver about it, and I think I heard him say it was because the lane is only for buses with stops in that section. Now I wonder if that is the case then the city should socialize that more.

@HRMFireNews Would you work for HRM comms if they hired you? (Hope the question is taken as a compliment!) 🙏🏽

@HalifaxReTales Change is hard 🥲

[Rima @rthomeh]

@RWJBoon @TwitCoast @HalifaxReTales We have to figure something out - lot of people are asking!

[Rima @rthomeh]

It happened. Papa Joe of Joe’s Kwik-Way is officially retired! Mabrouk Dad ❤️

[The Coast - Halifax/Kjipuktuk @TwitCoast]

Joe Thomeh is retiring after running a convenience store at the corner of Cornwallis and Maynard since the late '70s.

But don’t worry, a new family is taking over to uphold the store's legacy.

The time has come my friends. Joe is retiring! Though our physical presence may not be there everyday, our hearts will be always. We know our tight knit and amazingly diverse community will continue to show Danny and Clara the same love and support you have shown us for 43 years.

Racialized groups have long requested that the province collect race-based data in the health system to support evidence-based health decisions. The Primary Reference Working Group will help lead consultations and develop a community-based approach to support data collection.

Collecting and interpreting race-based health data will help the government identify and address inequities in health care and better serve racialized people by collaborating on community-level programs and initiatives: https://t.co/VL8UYquEQg

@PaulCPCheng @fabulavancouver Yes, it had to - eg. we went from selling fresh meat and produce to frozen and packaged. But we draw ppl in bc we can adapt & help when possible, like when ppl take items on credit and pay us later when their cheque comes in. Knowing ur community & meet them where they are is key

[Rima @rthomeh]

@PaulCPCheng @fabulavancouver Every city faces similar challenges. Halifax has ups and downs. Strong community support for local businesses exists - but its not easy. Owners face several hurtles and work tirelessly. The niche is our story and supporting community needs. Something big box retail misses.
