We are going to start this episode with an interview with Jenna Rideout. Jenna is the Manager of Marketing and Events at Develop Nova Scotia, and she is going to tell us all about the Evergreen Festival.

And Paul MacKinnon, CEO of Downtown Halifax Business Commission, is going to join me for a chat with Eric Jonsson. Eric is the Program Coordinator for the Navigator Street Outreach Program, and he is going to give us some suggestions on donating this holiday season.

And on Biz Buzz, we have a few business updates and milestones to share, we’ll tell you about some upcoming holidays events to look forward to, and we’ll give you some local gift ideas from our 2021 Downtown Halifax Holiday Gift Guide.
