This weekend we welcomed agricultural workers on the South Shore with food boxes in partnership with Lunenburg County Community Health Board. Thanks to the volunteers and donors like Just Us! Coffee Spring Tide Farm Dave's Fruit and Vegetable and Christ Church Dartmouth NS for making this program a success. One worker shared that: “I want to thank the people who do these kinds of events, because for the workers it is an honor to participate in these activities. Thank you!”

This week, a few of our volunteers had the opportunity to table at the 2026 CUPE Nova Scotia convention. It was a meaningful experience to connect with union members and discuss our shared commitment to equitable and fair labour conditions for all.

We were heartened to hear that several of the union workers were aware of the issues faced by migrant workers in Nova Scotia, and expressed solidarity. Solidarity between unionized and non-unionized migrant workers is critical. This was a key message shared by our Executive Director, Stacey Gomez, who was a keynote speaker at the Human Rights Forum during the convention.
