What role can rural community halls and gathering places play in building stronger, more resilient communities?

Over recent coffee chats, we’ve explored halls as places for food, learning, energy and water resilience, community connection, and emergency support. We’ve also heard a clear message: not every hall needs to do everything. When halls, local organizations, municipalities, and emergency partners work together, each place can contribute its own strengths.

Join RCFNS for our next lunch-hour Community Halls Coffee Chat.

🗓 Wednesday, September 2
⏰ 12:00 pm Atlantic

Everyone is welcome: hall volunteers, community groups, municipal staff, food and emergency-preparedness partners, and anyone who cares about rural gathering places. Please share with someone who should be in the conversation.

On International Overdose Awareness Day, we remember the people we have lost, recognize the grief carried by families and communities, and honour those working every day to reduce harm and save lives.

The Nova Scotia Grief Alliance invites you to join us for a special four-part International Overdose Awareness Day Mini Series exploring grief, harm reduction, community response and what it means to remain human while working in systems where loss is a constant companion.

💚 LIVE WEBINAR — AUGUST 31
⏰ 6:00 PM AST | 2:00 PM PST
💻 Virtual via Zoom

Dr. Marcus Greatheart, MD, MSW
Remaining Human While Working in Systems where Grief Is a Constant Companion

The live 60-minute webinar will be followed by three pre-recorded 30-minute presentations featuring Nova Scotia harm reduction leaders:

Davy Rose (They/Them)
Harm Reduction in Nova Scotia Histories, Provincial Implementation and Grief in Healthcare Settings

Kimm Kent (She/They)
Grief in the Margins

Ashley Legere
Love Us Loud

Together, these four perspectives create space for conversations about grief that is too often unseen — the grief experienced by people who use drugs, families, frontline workers, harm reduction advocates and communities responding to ongoing loss.

Honouring lives. Supporting communities. Building a future with compassion and care.
