  • Lena M. Diab the Armdale Report
    THE HONOURABLE THE ARMDALE REPORT LENA M. DIAB VOL. 1 • NO. 1 • FEBRUARY 2014 MLA HALIFAX ARMDALE Welcome to the first edition of the Armdale Report! It has been almost 4 months since you elected me to be your MLA. My colleagues and I have been working steadily both at the House of Assembly and in our ridings. On December 7th, we officially opened my constituency office. Located on the Armdale Rotary, our address is 2625 Joseph Howe Drive, Suite 26. Thank you to everyone who attended our open house and brought a donation of food or money to give to Feed Nova Scotia. We filled over 4 large boxes which we delivered to Feed Nova Scotia just before Christmas. I started the new year by attending various events with municipal councillors Linda Mosher (District 9), Russell Walker (District 10) and Stephen Adams (District 11). We attended the 20th annual Herring Cove Polar Bear Dip. We also shared in the wonderful New Year’s Levee festivities held at various local events. It was great to see so many people of all ages enjoy the company of family and friends. In January, I also had the opportunity to tour J.L Ilsley High School with MLA Brendan Maguire from Halifax Atlantic. We met with Principal Gordon McKelvie to discuss the current condition of the building and how we may be able to assist. As a mother of four children, I understand the impact a positive high school experience can have in shaping the future of our youth. I want to assure you that our voices have been heard.

  • Halifax, Nova Scotia and the Maritimes Have to Offer”
    Quoted by Bob: “As with snowflakes, no two sightseeing tours are ever exactly the same, there's a personal touch added to each trip. Our tours are not of the "cookie cutter" variety - we're "home-made" and unique! All our tours will give you the very best sightseeing Halifax, Nova Scotia and the Maritimes have to offer”. That is the truth. There is no way that we could have planned this trip on our own. Bob made us feel very comfortable as passengers, the sightseeing was amazing, the meals and lodgings were great. Bob’s knowledge of area history, his personal stories and insights and great sense of humor left never a dull moment. We had so much fun it should have been illegal. In short Sheri and I both say “Bob’s our Uncle” and would not hesitate to hire or recommend Blue Diamond Tours in the future. The photograph above - Blue Diamond Tours is operated by THAT GUY in the tie. Day Zero – The Grand Arrival - July 4th 2012 The first leg of our flight was to depart Grande Prairie to Calgary at 7:00 am. The time shift from Chetwynd to Halifax is 4 hours and 3 hours from Grande Prairie. Our flight was delayed by about a ½ hour. That being said when we departed in Calgary the final boarding call for Halifax was being announced. No time to grab a bite or Pee – Just run. The flight to Halifax (4 ½ Hours) was mostly uneventful. Using a bathroom on a plane is slightly nicer than using an outhouse on the prairies – it smells better and lacks flies.
