Solstice Run Request for Volunteers
The longest day of the year brings people together to celebrate the beauty of life and the value of community. Since 2016, the community of Millbrook has invited people to join Ulnooweg for their annual 5k Run, 10k Run, 2k Kid’s Run, and a post-run Summer Solstice Breakfast Social. This year’s run is also part of the 2022 Run Nova Scotia Road Race Series, allowing runners to add to their province-wide point total for the year.
We need volunteers like you!
With so many start times and race routes, this is a complex event! Volunteers will help us run the registration, direct runner traffic, coordinate groups for the three start times, and supply water to runners..
If you’re already a runner, one of the best reasons to volunteer is simply to give back to the community that provides you with so much joy. During a race if you’ve ever been thirsty, lost, or just needed a pick me up, then you already know the importance of marshals. But in the midst of running it’s all too easy to forget these people often provide this support to you for free. Turn the tables and volunteer for an event, and as well as giving back to the running community you might just be surprised at how good marshaling makes you feel.
Volunteering is a great way to participate in this much-loved yearly event. Marshalling provides all the same feel good factors that race day provides, without having to do anything but cheer! (And shepherd tired runners).
As a mission-critical volunteer, aside from making sure the runners’ day goes smoothly, you’ll get to participate in the festivities, grab a free tshirt, enjoy a morning outdoors, and relax with a free breakfast while chatting with your friends and neighbours.
Register now to cheer your community onto victory, and help us run this event smoothly!

PSA: Vaccine outreach clinics offer drop-in vaccines in Central, Northern and Western zones
Friday, June 3, 2022
Nova Scotia Health’s COVID-19 vaccine outreach clinics will be offering drop-in vaccines next week in Central, Northern and Western zones to help support vaccine accessibility.
Nova Scotians attending outreach clinics can receive their primary series – first, second and additional doses (if eligible) – or booster doses.
In rare cases, there may be higher demand than usual at vaccine outreach clinics. In these situations, those who are completing their primary series will be prioritized over those receiving booster doses.
The intervals between doses vary based on age, pregnancy and immunocompromised status.
Visit nshealth.ca/coronavirusvaccine for the most up-to-date vaccine schedule.
COVID-19 vaccine clinics for various brackets (anyone aged 5+, just for kids 5-11, aged 12+) are listed chronologically under each zone below.

Find full details on upcoming clinics at: https://www.nshealth.ca/drop-in-vaccine-clinics. Please check back frequently for additional clinics, cancellations and time changes.
Transportation to and from vaccine appointments can be organized through Rural Rides for $5 return. Visit https://ruralrides.ca/ to find the nearest provider. Transportation must be booked at least 24 hours in advance.
All eligible Nova Scotians are encouraged to get vaccinated against COVID-19 as soon as possible.
If you prefer to book a vaccine appointment in advance, please visit https://novascotia.flow.canimmunize.ca/en/9874123-19-7418965. You can also book an appointment by calling 1-833-797-7772.Up-to-date information around COVID-19 cases and resources can be found www.novascotia.ca/coronavirus
Please note, vaccine outreach clinics are healthcare environments, and therefore masking is required for the safety of staff and visitors.
The Seniors Care Grant helps eligible Nova Scotians aged 65 and over with the cost of services and chores they need done around their homes.
The deadline for applications is on May 31, 2022. Funds can be used through November 30, 2022.
With the deadline approaching, I’m hoping you will help us spread the word by forwarding this, as well as the attached application form to your members, networks, and/or people in your community.
The grant provides up to $500 for eligible seniors to help with expenses such as lawn care, small household repairs, delivery of groceries and medications, and other needs.
To qualify, older Nova Scotians must live independently and have a combined annual net household income of $37,500 or less. For clarification, proof of home ownership/leasing is not required, a copy of a utility bill in the senior’s name is sufficient.
Applications can be submitted online at novascotia.ca/seniors-care-grant, by mail or by fax. Application form link: seniors-care-grant-application-form-en.pdf (novascotia.ca)
Attached you will find a fact sheet on the Seniors Care Grant as well as the application form. Anyone who has questions or needs more information can call 1-800-670-4357
We want to make sure older Nova Scotians are aware of the program, and those who are eligible apply for the grant. Thank you for your help!
With the second round of cannabis engagement completed, our next step is to form a community-based Cannabis Governance Committee.
