We are extremely pleased to announce that Brigadoon was successful in its application to the B-FIT program of Health Promotions and Protection. On Saturday, April 25, 2009, Premier Rodney MacDonald and Minister Pat Dunn announced a commitment of $1.65 million dollars to Brigadoon. We are very grateful for this commitment by the Government of Nova Scotia which brings us a great deal down the trail to seeing Brigadoon Village become a reality.

Brigadoon was honoured to host a recognition event for donors and partners of Brigadoon last month at Stadacona. The evening was a small way to show our appreciation for those helping to Build Brigadoon. The highlight of the night was the live painting performance done by Holly Carr and Brigadoon special guests (ages 4-16), accompanied by live music from Heather Kelday. Both Holly and Heather generously donated their time and talents to make the performance possible. Here are some pictures for you to enjoy:

It is a pleasure to introduce you to a great Brigadoon supporter, and one of the closest friends my family has, Pam Goodwin. Pam, and her rocking good husband Bob, recently travelled to Bruges, Belgium…and brought some Chronic-Ts with them. Pam and Bob live in London, England but have been supporters of Brigadoon since day one. Million thanks Pam for the photos;

Peace and Good Health,

Dave

PS: Pam - as I was a 6 year old…and you being about 13…I sincerely apologize for interrupting you and my sister’s “girl talk”, stepping on your Teen Beat magazines, knocking on the door so much, having to be babysat and being…a tad bit too hyper and sweaty. You are an awesome big sister!
