Stay tuned as we finalize some details on our next Business Networking event. 

Alzheimer Society of Nova Scotia is hosting Community Week across the province, and will be at the Milton Memorial Hall.

Please mark your calendars to join this informative session about living well with dementia and local resources available to help.

Thank you for attending our Summer Social last month! We want to thank galeforce feasts for the delicious appetizers, and Petite Riviere for the drinks! Make sure you open up our emails as we will be hosting more of these events in the near future.

We had the opportunity to meet with the new Community Development Coordinator at the Region, Stephanie Sereda.  We are so excited about our shared vision for empowering local businesses and fostering community growth in Queens County.  

Here are some resources available to our Business Community that the Region can support.  Feel free to reach out to Stephanie, by email, [email protected] or by phone 902-354-5741.
