Scotia: Nova Scotia

scotia: We like to say we are building community one meal at a time, according to The Chronicle Herald. Engage Nova Scotia has brought the Share Thanksgiving initiative to Nova Scotia. Share Thanksgiving creates an opportunity for Nova Scotians and newcomers to Nova Scotia to come together and share a Thanksgiving meal, says Danny Graham, chief engagement officer of Engage Nova Scotia. The concept sees hosts families share a Thanksgiving meal with a newcomer family or international student. Guests and hosts seem to benefit equally, says Graham. It has matched 500 guests with hosts since its inception in the province. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
