Seen at Halifax's Old Burying Ground. #HaliSky (fwiw, MajGen Robert Ross burned down the White House in Aug 1814 during the War of 1812. He died a month later during the Battle of Baltimore. His final wish was to be buried on British soil: so he was repatriated in a barrel of rum.)

That's my club!!!! (That's me on the left) I was one of the hosts for our SA visitors. And happy to do so, because we were SO well looked after when we had our RFE in S Africa in '24. Interested? Ask me!! #ServiceAboveSelf #NovaScotia #Rotary #District7815 #HaliSky

We've been honoured this past week to have a South African Rotary Friendship Exchange team of 9 visit us! They've had a blast! This was payback for the RFE trip 9 Rotarians from our district made 2.5 years ago. (And boy were we looked after! 🤩) RFEs are one of the many bonuses of being in #Rotary.

USA = full blown Dystopia! “The Trump administration quietly declared frozen embryos to be children.” “… the Dept of Health & Human Services referred to frozen embryos using the terms “child” & “children”… “…. refers to frozen embryos as “children who already exist & are in need of a family”.”

Way to go, Nova Scotia! Thanks, Tim Houston! "Fixed term leases are driving up the cost of housing in [NS] by forcing people to move more often. Rents increased 29% last year for renters who moved into a new apartment. That’s 6x higher than the Houston government’s 5 per cent rent cap" #HaliSky
