A very special moment for Halifax and the historic Wanderers Grounds.
To see the joy and wonder on the faces of thousands of young girls watching their heroes was magical.
I don’t know what more we can do to showcase the need for a proper stadium on this special piece of land.

Yesterday NS vaccinated 13k bringing our total to 187k. We have ~750k people over the age of 19 so to reach herd immunity (70%) we need to vaccinate a total of 565k. So while we have 378k 💉 to go, at a pace of 13k/day, we get there in just 5 weeks! Stay positive, we are close!

NS has 1,000,000 people, ~5,000 current cases and 24 people in hospital.
So currently in hospital we have 0.48% of our cases & 0.0024% of our entire provincial population.
If we are going to focus on numbers, let’s focus on the right ones and keep this all in perspective.

Dear NS, In advance of the restrictions coming down today please remember that 99.98% of us are NOT infected, this is temporary, follow the guidelines and we will beat this wave...just like we’ve done before. Be kind and keep things in perspective. This is just a bump in the road

Full time and we are through to the next round!
Goals from Akeem Garcia and Alessandro Riggi and a clean sheet from Christian Oxner give us a 2 - 0 win.
