"We are looking at a Nova Scotia solution and the solution at this time is to have a joint venture."

behind the layoff of another 110 employees at ACA Co-operative in Nova Scotia.

| Every year, Angela Johnston brings kids from Brochet Manitoba to Port Williams, Nova Scotia for some unique experiences. Angela tells us about the charity she founded, accompanied by great music and images. For me, this was like breeding an audio documentary with the part of a film doc where we run out of footage and use tons of pictures. Music was provided by A BAND OF OWLS along with an older tune from when they were known as Barefoot. Techno Loops were edited by me. It was fun to build.

She too began her own business, The Valley Cloth Diaper Company. She says now there are three Nova Scotia cloth diaper companies and interest is only getting stronger.

In truth, this quote was originally surrounded by statements highlighting the incredible challenges that face non-profit organizations and how the government makes it excessively difficult for individuals to make a positive impact in our communities.
