The Halifax CPS unit is located on the western edge of the friendly city of Halifax, Nova Scotia. We have a lovely home located close to Hail Pond, which has walking trails that provide a beautiful place to spend some quiet time. Most of the places where the girls work are in the downtown area of the city, which is a fifteen-minute drive from the unit home in normal traffic conditions.

The CPS unit began in August 2003. There is a couple for houseparents and four girls. The girls volunteer at:

• IWK Health Centre – help in gift shop, information desk, and playrooms
• St. Vincent’s; Melville Gardens – visit, sing, take residents for appointments, play bingo
• Ronald McDonald House – cleaning and baking
• Cancer Care Lodge – making beds; packaging supplies for home health care for VON
• Halifax Haven Guest Home – clean; make beds; laundry
