And here on Quinpool Road, we have a lot to celebrate.
Small businesses make up 98% of Nova Scotia's employer businesses. But behind that number are peopleโ€ฆ people with ideas, people who take chances, people who create jobs, people who build communities, and people who open their doors every day.

And they're a big part of what makes Quinpool Road the place it is.
This month, we're celebrating the small businesses that make our Mainstreet unique, and the people behind them.

From the businesses that have been part of Quinpool for decades to the newest faces on the street, small business has a big impact.

So throughout October, we invite you to shop local, eat local, explore local and get to know the people behind the businesses
you love.

Today, we pause to listen, learn, remember, and reflect on the history and ongoing impacts of residential schools and the experiences of Indigenous Peoples in Canada.

On Quinpool Road, we believe that strong communities are built on understanding, respect, and a commitment to learning from the past as we work toward a better future.

We encourage our businesses, neighbours, and community to take some time today to learn, reflect, and honour the Survivors, their families, and the children who never returned home.

Today is National Good Neighbor Day! And it got us thinking about what makes a neighbourhood a neighbourhood.

Itโ€™s the familiar faces.
The local shops and restaurants.
The people who say hello.
The businesses that know your name.
The little moments of connection that make a place feel like home.

Thatโ€™s what we love about Quinpool Road. โค๏ธ

We may be a busy Mainstreet, but at heart, weโ€™re a neighbourhoodโ€ฆ made up of people who live, work, visit, shop, eat, create and connect here every day.

So, in the spirit of Mister Rogersโ€ฆWonโ€™t you be our neighbour? ๐Ÿก

So letโ€™s soak up a little sunshine and enjoy those last patio days while they last! ๐Ÿ๐Ÿฝ๏ธโ˜•๐Ÿป

Fall has arrived but Patio Season isnโ€™t over yet!
