Gord and I went to the November East Coast Connected Cheer event tonight ... it's the first one we'd been to.
Simply put, East Coast Connected will bring the best of Atlantic Canada to the rest of Canada and bring the best of that back to Atlantic Canada. Specifically, East Coast Connected will create a community hub and strengthen the bonds between Atlantic Canadians living in Toronto.
I'm originally from Nova Scotia.
It was held in the John Labatt Room (the pub for the Labatt employees who work at that site) on the second floor the Queen's Quay Terminal. Labatt used to be a client of mine when I worked for another company and I did pension seminars in this room
about ten years ago. It was a lot more fun being there tonight!
Apparently Labatt had donated the room and the beer ... so all the money went to tonight's charity, Ward 5 Community Centre in the North end of Halifax. Thanks, Labatt!
