NSLPB Purpose: To provide a safe place to be inspired, to pray for our leaders, and to consider the love and relevance of Jesus.

Now in our 35^th year, join business, political, Church, non-profit and other NS leaders at this celebration. Being held May 5, 2016 at the CUNARD CENTRE, we are delighted to have Brian McConaghy from Ratanak International, as our guest speaker. Brian will speak on a timely and important subject with connections to Halifax.

Linda Carvery will lend her amazing vocals to our event and Mayor Mike Savage will be our MC. We have moved to a new venue for the event and it promises to be a wonderful morning of praise and song with an exceptional speaker. You will leave feeling awesome!

The event runs from 7:30-9:15. Tickets are now on sale throughwww.nslpb.ca at the cost of $40/ ticket and $400 for a table of 10. Ticket prices will increase after April 1.  We are offering our past buyers first crack at the best seats in the house. We value your support over the past few years.

This year, in our effort to support new Syrian families to our area, we are asking for your support by purchasing an extra seat, or donating a seat at your table. We would like to welcome the important new members of HRM to our community and feel this is a great opportunity to introduce them to many leaders in Halifax.

We look forward to seeing you on May 5 at the Cunard Centre

Joint Emergency Management (JEM) team | Wednesday, 30 September 2015 at 6pm, Halifax Central Library Lindsay Children’s Room
Come to our information meeting about setting up a Joint Emergency Management (JEM) team.  This is a community-based volunteer organization that works with HRM’s EMO.  This is great way for involved citizens to educate friends, family and neighbours in preparedness for emergencies.  JEM’s motto is “neighbours helping neighbours”.  During emergencies, residents in affected communities need to be prepared to help themselves and to assist others.

We are really hoping some members of faith based groups are interested, as our friends in rural Halifax have said, for this to work we need both people and buildings to help make our community a safer place!
