Congratulations Hannah Wiseman winner of the Livia Properties: Women in Trades $2,000 award!

Hannah Wiseman, originally from Dartmouth, came to Pictou Campus to study cabinet making. Hannah’s joy of working with wood started with her father who was in the construction industry and then flourished in her woodworking class during high school. Hannah will be starting a work placement soon! Congratulations Hannah and good luck on your graduation this year!

This year, RCFNS looked forward to connecting with Nova Scotians and address climate change and explore rural Nova Scotia solutions to climate change together. But given the growing concerns around COVID-19, we’ve made the difficult decision to cancel the Community Impact Conference scheduled for Oct 8, 2022 in Port Hawkesbury and reschedule the Community Impact Conference to April 22, 2023.

This was a tough call to make — the Community Impact Conference is an incredibly important event for RCFNS — but we need to prioritize the health and safety of all involved.

We’ll share additional details on our plans for the Community Impact Conference rescheduled for April 22, 2023 in the coming weeks. In the meantime, thanks for your patience and understanding — and we look forward to seeing the Community Impact Conference in 2023!

What are people doing about climate change in rural Nova Scotia? How are communities leading the way in moving from ideas to action? In this one-day conference, RCFNS highlights the work of several communities dealing with a wide variety of climate change issues to create a circle of informed, innovative, and supportive problem solvers.
