It was another beautiful day in Northern Nova Scotia when supporters gathered at the North Nova SPCA. It was a special day; the building was going to be “unleashed.”
“Unleashing” the building is the Nova Scotia SPCA twist on a ribbon-cutting! The building is not ready to open to the public just yet – this was a day to celebrate and signal that the SPCA can start moving in.
We must bring in medical supplies and set up the grooming areas. Train the new staff in the hospital and thrift store and get the staff from Granton comfortable in the new space (if you saw the old space you know without going into North Nova, that it is bigger!).
Soon we will move the animals in, open online appointment-making, and sell the first items from the thrift store. Until then, please enjoy this sneak peak of your North Nova.
Donor wall with centrepiece painted by local artist Ron Robichaud. The painting is called Coming Home, which can’t be translated into Mi’kmaq. A Language Keeper told us that you can say I shelter you.
Best Day Ever graphic found in the reception area of the shelter. People will be able to take photos on adoption days, volunteering days, or simply because it is the best day ever.
A fun door sign found in the Tartan Tails Veterinary Hospital.
