Congratulations on being selected as a 2026 Wellness Fund Recipient!

Their initiative offers a mix of regularly scheduled programs and special excursions designed to promote social connection, active living, and community engagement.

Weekly programs include crafts, movies, games, and gentle chair-based yoga or dance. These sessions provide consistent opportunities for social interaction and light physical activity in an accessible, familiar community space.

Monthly excursions are planned within HRM to museums, recreation facilities, and other community venues. These outings allow participants to explore local opportunities, increase awareness of available programs, and build confidence navigating community spaces.

AND there are three excursions outside the Halifax Centre over the project period, introducing participants to other areas of Nova Scotia. Planned destinations may include locations such as Peggy’s Cove and the Annapolis Valley supporting cultural exploration and broader community connection.

The 2026 Wellness Funds Celebration highlighted "Healthy Together", a seven session wellness series designed to improve the physical, mental, and social wellbeing of Chinese women living in the Halifax area.

Many immigrant women experience high levels of stress related to caregiving, employment, and settlement, while also facing barriers such as limited English proficiency, unfamiliarity with the health system, reduced social networks and the cultural difference. These challenges contribute to poorer long term health outcomes including “immigrant health effect”.

Healthy Together directly addresses these determinants by offering accessible, culturally relevant, and community driven wellness programming.

Way to go !

👉👉 CW CHB is please to support Chebucto Connections with funding to support a multi organization collaboration aimed to educate and empower parents to prevent and divert youth away from unhealthy online spaces with a focus on nihilism, extremism and grooming.

💪 Armed with knowledge and additional resources, parents will be empowered and well positioned to continue the conversations within their own networks. Trusted and established relationships will propel this project into broader community action, building stronger healthier communities.
