SUMMARY:ACORN Nova Scotia and North End Residents to  March on Condo Developer Demanding  Affordable Housing
DESCRIPTION:North End residents and members of the anti­poverty organization ACORN Nova Scotia are planning a demonstration against gentrification in North End Halifax. \nThe North End has been rapidly gentrified in recent years: affordable housing has been demolished and sold off\, rents have risen\, and an influx luxury condominiums and high­-end businesses hasve displaced many longtime residents. \n“It’s a takeover. It’s obvious\, and it’s outrageous” Said Darryl King\, the Co­Chair of the North­Central Halifax chapter of ACORN “You never see these developers building housing that the people here can afford. There’s less and less all the time. But they’re building these $300\,000 condos. They have no concern for the neighbourhood they work in\, or the people who are being pushed out.” \nACORN members and allies will march on a local developer to demand the conversion of unsold condominium units into affordable housing. “Our message is simple: if you want to come into our neighbourhood and build\, you’ve got to build something for the people who live here.” said Bonnie Barrett\, the Chair of Halifax ACORN “We won’t allow our community to be erased. We won’t disapear quietly into the night. We’re standing up andfighting back.” \nTime:12:30­-2 pm \nDate: July 9th \nLocation: Meet at North Branch Library­ 2285 Gottingen \nNova Scotia ACORN is an affiliate of ACORN Canada\, a national antipoverty organization with over 70\,000 low and moderate income members organized into 20 neighborhood chapters in 7 cities across Canada. We fight for tenants rights\, regulations on moneylenders\, and a living wage. \nFor more information contact: \nStorm Paradise \nPhone: (902) 225 3818 \nEmail: novascotia1@acorncanada.org

SUMMARY:Monthly reading group: Truth and Reconciliation Commission report
DESCRIPTION:Ecology Action Centre joins reconciliation pledge and challenges public to do the same \nK’JIPUKTUK (HALIFAX) – June 21st\, 2016 \nNova Scotia’s largest environmental organization is challenging its staff\, board\, and membership to read the full summary report of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) this year. \nThe Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada (TRC) was organized by the parties to the Indian Residential Schools Settlement Agreement.  The final report of this commission details the horrific history and legacy of Canadian residential schools\, which involved 150\,000 First Nations\, Inuit and Mètis children over more than a century. As the TRC notes in the 360-odd page summary report\, Canada needs to move from “apology to action” if reconciliation with Aboriginal Peoples is to succeed. The TRC includes 94 recommendations for change in policies\, programs and the “way we talk to\, and about\, each other.” \nEAC is inviting interested people to join them in exploring the report through a monthly reading group\, which will meet on the first Wednesday of each month at 5:30pm\, starting on July 6th. \n“Reading this report is a key step towards understanding what the TRC’s 94 Calls to Action mean for us\, both as an organization and in our own lives\,” explains co-organizer Sadie Beaton\, who also works as EAC’s Community Conservation Research Network Coordinator. \nAs reading group co-organizer Joanna Bull describes\, “We are committing to this in order to hear the report directly and sincerely\, to educate ourselves and increase our understanding of the impacts and legacy of residential schools in Canada.” \nEAC’s commitment and challenge is part of a national pledge being organized by http://trcreadingchallenge.com/. Over 3000 people have signed up across Canada to read this crucial document\, starting on June 21st\, National Aboriginal Day. “Reconciliation is going to take hard work. People of all walks of life and at all levels of society will need to be willingly engaged\,” notes the Commission in the closing of the report. \n  \nYou can find the PDF version of the Summary Report here: http://www.trc.ca/websites/trcinstitution/File/2015/Findings/Exec_Summary_2015_05_31_web_o.pdf. \nFor further information\, please contact: \n  \n  \nJoanna Bull \nVolunteer & Events Coordinator \n902-454-5226 \ncommunications@ecologyaction.ca \n  \nSadie Beaton \nCommunity Conservation Research Coordinator\n902-221-1953 \nSadie@ecologyaction.ca \n

SUMMARY:MetCap Living Tenants Demand Landlord Licensing
DESCRIPTION:Halifax\, N.S. – Tenants renting in private housing managed by the MetCap Living Inc. have been living in slum conditions with bedbugs\, mice\, mold\, and more. \n“When I first moved in\, there were used needles stuck in the carpet\,” says Katarina Jordan-Baynell\, a MetCap tenant and member of the Dartmouth ACORN chapter. “With a young child\, these oversights and lack of repairs are very concerning.” Jordan-Baynell says that a request to repair her kitchen sink took months to fulfill\, and the repairperson was disrespectful when he finally did arrive. \n“MetCap can take one\, three\, or even six months to address issues within their buildings\,” says Jonethan Brigley\, a MetCap tenant and Chair of the Dartmouth ACORN chapter. “Meanwhile\, tenants are responsible for paying their rent on time every month or else they risk being evicted.” Brigley says with a proactive landlord licensing system\, landlords will be held accountable to maintain their buildings. \nOn Tuesday\, July 5th at 2pm tenants from Spryfield\, Dartmouth\, and Halifax will be coming together to protest the poor living conditions. They will be demonstrating out front of a MetCap Living management office on 32 Primrose Street in Dartmouth. \nWhat: Picket \nTime: 2:15pm \nDate: Tuesday\, July 5\, 2016 \nWhere: MetCap Living Inc. office –32 Primrose Street\, Halifax. \nWho: ACORN Nova Scotia \n### \nFor more information contact: \nSam Krawec – Organizer\, Nova Scotia ACORN \nhalifax@acorncanada.org \n(902) 221 5416 \nWhat is ACORN Nova Scotia? \nAssociation of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) Nova Scotia is the local office of ACORN Canada – a national independent organization of low and moderate income families. We have over 80\,000 members organized into twenty neighborhood chapters in nine cities across Canada. We believe that social and economic justice can best be achieved with a national active membership who are invested in their organization and focused on building power for change.

SUMMARY:All art is political: a workshop lecture with Sebastien Labelle & Prof. Shannon Brownlee
DESCRIPTION:“All art is political in the sense that it serves someone’s politics.” – August Wilson \nHow do we determine the ‘politics’ of art? Who is served and who is left out? The study of ideology allows us to answer these questions and critically examine the role of art in shaping\, bolstering or subverting social norms and conventions. Culture both weaves and reflects the understanding we have of the world around us\, and what we say or (more importantly) don’t say tells us a lot about how we believe our world is or should be. By looking at examples from popular culture we can determine what some of those norms and beliefs might be… and who they serve. \nNOTE: The bar will be open on this evening. \nFacilitators: \nSébastien Labelle is an actor\, trade unionist\, community organizer and the Executive Director of the Bus Stop Theatre Cooperative. He is also the Festival Director of the Mayworks Halifax Festival\, an annual arts festival celebrating workers and struggles for justice. Sébastien is a former apprentice of the Bread & Puppet Theatre in Vermont and is currently helping in the development of the River Clyde Pageant in PEI using traditional forms of street theatre. \nProf. Shannon Brownlee teaches film studies in the Fountain School of Performing Arts at Dalhousie University. Her research interests include film theory\, film adaptation\, experimental film\, animated film\, and feminist and queer cinemas and theories. \nREGISTRATION: \nRegistration is free to coop members\, and $5 for the general public. \nPlease register by filling out the form available HERE

SUMMARY:Wolfville: Risks of Energy East Information Session and Discussion
DESCRIPTION:Energy East Information Tour:\nThe Ecology Action Centre (EAC) is hosting a series of information sessions in coastal Nova Scotian communities along the Bay of Fundy to discuss risks of the proposed Energy East pipeline to the Bay of Fundy. \nThe EAC’s information sessions\, (dates and locations listed below) are a chance to discuss details and risks of Energy East\, and hear feedback and concerns from coastal communities in Nova Scotia about the project. \nTransCanada’s Energy East pipeline and associated export terminal in Saint John\, New Brunswick pose risks to the entire Bay of Fundy due to associated marine terminal and increased tanker traffic in the Bay of Fundy\, through the Gulf of Maine. Tanker traffic would increase by nearly 330 million barrels\, or 290 tankers per year. This would impact coastal communities\, fisheries\, and much of Nova Scotia’s mainland coastline\, especially the Bay of Fundy. \nVisit www.savefundy.ca for more information on the risks of the Energy East pipeline\, and details regarding the upcoming tour. \nAll are welcome. No RSVP is needed. Send questions\, concerns or ideas regarding these events to Stephen Thomas at the Ecology Action Centre:\nstephen@ecologyaction.ca or 1-902-429-2202

SUMMARY:Public Information Meeting – What will Daylighting the Sawmill River look like?
DESCRIPTION:There have been a number of decisions made regarding Daylighting the Sawmill River. This includes a full report on how fish passage will be integrated when the storm sewer from Sullivan’s Pond to the Halifax Harbour is replaced. While sections of the engineered stream will be daylit\, the final design for this project has not yet been decided. One delay has been due to on-going discussions regarding the intersection of Alderney Drive and Portland Street and the possibly of rerouting and reducing traffic lanes. The changes to this intersection could result in additional land becoming available providing the needed space for including naturalised components to parts of the Sawmill River. The purpose of this Public Information Meeting is to allow Dartmouth and Halifax residents to gain a better understanding of these proposed changes and how they could impact the final design for the Sawmill River. \n  \nThe Public Information Meeting will have representatives from the Halifax Regional Municipality\, Halifax Water\, and the Ecology Action Centre speak about the future of this project in light of infrastructure and traffic upgrades to downtown Dartmouth.
