We’re throwing it back to 2012- 2013 to showcase this amazing company that was created by students from Bay View High School and Ecole du Sommet through the JA Company Program. Here is the link to watch the Why Black Tie promo video. https://lnkd.in/dVDmTk9z We have included a few pages of the Shareholders Report in this post so you can learn more about how this creative company made a Gross Income of $7 582.75. Let us know if you recognize any of these business owners!

All people deserve to feel belonging and connection and to have a place where they can be their true authentic self without fear or judgement. With that in mind Happy Halifax Pride Festival everyone. We encourage you to learn more, explore the city and get involved. Our list is just a fraction of what is taking place.

So exciting. Can't wait to hear more at the Gala in October.

Could not be happier that Nova Scotia Community College - NSCC has the Machinist trade back in Halifax Regional Municipality after a 13-year absence. Recently toured the new classroom and had the opportunity to see some of the gear. An accelerated class of manual students will graduate this September and bring on 14 more. They are still adding to the CNC side in preparation to welcome students in 2025. Excitingly, the course has been split into two parts, with a focus on manual skills in the first year and the option for CNC training in the second year. Great to see the growth and development in the field right here in our community! #NSCC #MachinistTrade #HalifaxMunicipality #CNCTraining #Madeinnovascotia #Madeincanada #madeinnorthAmerica #qualitycontrol #QC #cmm #TechInnovationCanada #SmartManufacturing #Machining #CNC

Those three finalists are now being interviewed by the judges to determine a category winner who will move on to the Champion Event. Keep watching for details and send your good thoughts to AquaVide and MyQode through this process. Good luck!
