Would it be accurate to say that the Eastern Shore lacks “profile”?
Would it be fair to say that the Eastern Shore is not first and foremost
in the minds of Government and Media when the various regions of Nova
Scotia are considered? Most local residents would agree with these two
observations and fortunately a group of local businesses are coming
together to address the situation…
On Sunday, October 17th at 2:00pm there will be a “Get-Together”
of Eastern Shore businesses in Musquodoboit Harbour. (Mark the Date
in your Calendar Books right now!!). It will be a terrific opportunity
for business operators to come together in one location – hopefully
100 businesses or more, hence the name. We can have a straightforward
discussion. Rather than wait for any level of government to assist us,
or the media to discover us; it is timely that we simply help ourselves!
How do we begin to properly promote the Eastern Shore as a distinct
residence and marketplace so close to the heart of HRM? How do we convince
the powers at be that with proper highway enhancement and reasonable
infrastructure, this Community can thrive as it should?
This "Get-Together” will be the starting point for Events to
come. We can have a good discussion of the upside of working together
for the greater good. If we raise the profile of the Eastern Shore,
it means more visitors from HRM and elsewhere. More visitors generate
more business which generates more Employment and greater prosperity.
Is it actually possible to create a win, win, win scenario? We think
so! We need to free ourselves form the red tape and bureaucracy and
just have a good positive discussion. Let’s determine those broad
issues upon which we agree and then peak with a common voice…
We invite all businesses to join us on Sunday, October 17th @ 2:00pm
at the St. Phillip Neri Catholic Church Hall (on Highway #7) in Musquodoboit
Harbour.
