Happy Canada Day Everyone!
Congratulations Nova Scotia, we have been working hard and it is really paying off. We are doing a fantastic job and I am so proud of Nova Scotia! https://novascotia.ca/coronavirus/
- We can now gather with 10 people without social distancing and we can gather with 50 people with social distancing. Recognized business or organization can have up to 250 people with physical distancing rules in place
- One of the major rules that was lifted in the past month is that playgrounds are now open for play and just in time with this lovely weather. Pools, splash pads are also included.
- We now have an Atlantic bubble! Effective July 3rd, Nova Scotia will bubble with New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland and Labrador, allowing Atlantic Canadians to travel within the region without having to self-isolate.
- Stores, restaurants and pubs have opened, please be respectful of the new rules and have patience with how business owners now have to operate for your protection but please support, they need you more than ever!
Even with all this good news, please continue to wash your hands, use hand sanitizer, wear masks where you can’t socially distance, and be kind.
And just a little reminder from our friend Grover
It’s time to celebrate Canada’s 153rd Birthday!

The market has certainly picked up with many buyers but very low inventory in HRM. If you are thinking of selling, this is a great time! We are still following the rules laid out for us by wearing masks, using hand sanitizer and filling out Covid 19 disclosure forms.
