Well its been more than a month but we are finally settling in to the new office space. We are now on 5687 West St suite 220 - B3K 1H6 Halifax NS - the phone number and email are the same 902-444-5060 and hcap@riseup.net
We are actually across the street from where the old office space was located. This office is also not accessible - which is a drag given I walk with a cane now....however anyone who wants the services of an advocate and cannot make it up here I will make arrangements to meet you in an accessible location. We are also going to hold all meetings off site in the community as well.
Lots and lots of changes, many of the old time members have gone their separate ways some were here as students, and are now done others have gone on to jobs where being directly involved in this organization might be in conflict while others have developed different interests. Needless to say things will be very different. We are fortunate this year to have great office volunteers as well as 4 pro-bono students from Dalhousie law school who will be doing a project for us. I am very excited as to the direction the organization is moving.
We need to focus on some fund development so we can keep our doors open but we also need to reach out to a membership base. We will see what happens................I am hopeful
Cheers
Susan
