 Celtic Colours needs your support
 Celtic Colours brings real economic activity to
 communities all over Cape Breton Island by celebrating
 the music, culture, and hospitality that makes this such
 a special place. For three decades, communities
 throughout the island have come together to make it
 happen through volunteers, community groups,
 partnerships, and public support.
 And it has worked.
 Last year alone, the festival generated more than $15.8
 million in economic activity on Cape Breton Island.
 Beyond the numbers, it creates connections between
 communities and builds relationships that extend far
 beyond the island.
 But things are shifting.
 Celtic Colours is now facing significant funding
 shortfalls that put this work at risk. While we remain
 committed to presenting the 30th festival this fall, the
 reality is that continuing at this level is becoming
 increasingly difficult.

Hey,



If you show up for kids every day β€” as a teacher, a parent, a camp counsellor, an after-school leader, a childcare provider, or just someone who gives a damn β€” this email is for you. You are doing some of the most important work in our communities right now. Even if the government doesn't seem to see it.



I see it. And I want to help.



It's called Light the Spark β€” and it's a free community for every Kid Hero like you. Here's what you get:



β†’ A growing library of free activities, experiments, crafts, and lesson plans β€” 45 resources already loaded and ready to use

β†’ A place to share your own ideas with the community

β†’ Chat channels to connect with other heroes

β†’ Free event listings so people know what's happening near them

β†’ Stories from educators on the front lines sharing what's working



No ads. No selling. No catch. Free forever.



You can browse everything without even creating an account. But if you want to share something, join a conversation, or connect with other heroes, signing up takes about 30 seconds.

Why did I build it? I'm Devan β€” Dr. Rocket. I run Mad Science Maritimes. I'm a dad of three. My business gets paid from the same budgets being cut. I got angry watching what's happening to kids' programming across our region. And instead of just being angry, I did something about it.



Light the Spark is rooted in Atlantic Canada β€” but it's open to every Kid Hero who walks through the door, wherever they're from.



We've all been solving the same problems alone for too long. It's time to stop doing that.



They dimmed the lights. Now let's light the spark.

N.S. premier popularity drops amid controversial budget cuts, partial reversal HALIFAX - The Nova Scotia premier’s popularity appears to have taken a significant hit following controversial budget cuts that he partially walked back amid public outcry and protests.

Angus Reid poll this week indicates #TimHouston approval rating dropped to 39%, his lowest rating since elected premier in 2021.

Houston’s 11 point drop was the largest of any premier in the country.

#TimHouston claims he is not interested in talking about buying back @novascotiapower.bsky.social

We have to remember it was the PC government in 1992 that sold off N.S Power without doing their own economic analysis to see if it was worth selling and the impact it would have.

#TimHouston is non-narcissistic. He works for the people, not the other way around. He is humble in admitting he wishes he could do more.
There are no 'separatism threats', no billion dollar 'ballroom' plans, no demonization, no division, no drama.
Houston is a diamond in the rough of the #CPC.

The Conservatives (including #TimHouston ) don't seem to get what they got wrong - people don't want what they're selling.
Extreme riches at the expense of our environment and wellbeing is not what Nova Scotians want.
We like us. We want to be better, not different - big industry is not who we are.

During today's rally outside the provincial house the hosts of this rally were notified that people inside were uncomfortable as the chants echoed through the building.

Good! Those echoes you hear are the people's voice that #timhouston chose to ignore.

Program to officially start in fall 2027? And a new government will change that again. That's too far off for hope, we have #TimHouston that still can't fix #Healthcare in his second fake term. #NSPoli

For someone who once claimed he "loves all Nova Scotians" the #NovScotia PC premier #TimHouston clearly demonstrates the exact opposite. Except for his cronies and those who treat the province as a mere commodity to be gutted for personal gain. 😑

My son doesn't attend Club Inclusion but I DO receive the caregiver benefit. I wonder if #TimHouston realizes that it can mean the difference between keeping someone at home or putting them into care which would be a LOT more expensive for the province.
