‼️Reminder ‼️

Our online auction ends tomorrow, September 13 at 12 p.m.

The funds raised from this auction will support the installation of a heat pump in our duplex homes, which will significantly improve the daily lives of our core members. A heat pump will ensure that our home remains warm during the winter months and cool throughout the summer, creating a space where everyone feels safe, comfortable, and at home. In addition to these immediate benefits, a heat pump is an energy-efficient solution that will reduce our annual operating costs and allow us to redirect funds toward programs and activities that enrich the lives of our core members.

Items for auction:

On July 7, we hosted our L’Arche Halifax Annual General Meeting.

After a dedicated tenure, Wayne DiPersio stepped down from his role as Board Chair during this year’s AGM. Although he will remain as a board member and will still be actively involved in our community, we would like to thank Wayne for his support and dedication to L’Arche Halifax these past few years!

We are excited to welcome Joe Malek as our new Board Chair. Joe has been a L’Arche Halifax Board Member for the past two years and brings a wealth of experience to his new role. We look forward to what the future holds under his guidance.

Many thanks to everyone who attended our AGM and for your ongoing support!
