In this report, you will read about how Phoenix sta and volunteers work hard to create special moments. These are made possible through the support of our dedicated donors and have profound impact on the lives of the youth, families, and communities we have the joy of working with. Phoenix is a group eort — supported by the community and guided by the people who access our many, interconnected services. Keeping our programming aligned to real needs with supports that result in true impact is the heartbeat of Phoenix. Mark Donohue, th Chair, Board of Directors In 2016, Phoenix stepped into our 29 year of being there for youth and and Timothy Crooks, families. With our 30th year on the horizon, we decided to examine both the Executive Director robustness of our current delivery and potential for future development. This rigour was intended to ensure Phoenix’s continued success. Over the year, we focused on researching key aspects of our mandate and possibilities for innovation. With new insight at hand, we will begin to stretch in our 30th year, exploring additional possibilities with our community. The sacred trust we hold is to always oer our best in ways that matter. To all who support us, including three levels of government, we deeply thank you for your dedication. We are especially grateful for a multi-year service level agreement with the Government of Nova Scotia’s Department of Community Services, to help support Phoenix’s core program delivery to youth, families, and communities. We recognize our long-term donors, including St. Paul’s Home, the Canadian Progress Club Halifax Cornwallis, and our Food for Phoenix committee, who have, over many years, established a platform for stability that stands strong today. We look forward to reflecting back, reaching forward, and celebrating together in our 30th year. For all you do, a heartfelt thanks!

He was being bullied at school and had learning struggles. Linda met regularly with the school but needed more support. That’s when she learned about the Phoenix Youth and Family Therapy Program (PYFT). Kalob remembers feeling nervous the fi rst time they walked through the door, but that anxiety quickly subsided as clinical therapist Rachel began getting to know this warm and loving, but overwhelmed, family. “Rachel took us by the hand. She was our guardian angel,” says Linda. Sometimes it was hard to sit and talk, so Rachel and Kalob would toss the football, or go for walks together and explore what Kalob was up against. The sessions focused on fi nding avenues to restore Kalob’s sense of himself as a worthy, capable young man, and his sense of hope and possibility for his future. “I had a pretty good idea of what Kalob needed,” says Linda,” but I didn’t know what to do. Rachel showed us so much compassion and helped us navigate the system.” Rachel also connected Kalob to a range of community supports, advocated for his enrolment in a school that specialized in his particular social and learning needs, and arranged for an assessment that showed he had ADHD. Kalob now enjoys going to school and is able to shine academically. “I got an 11/12 on my last math test!” he says with pride. Rachel also connected Kalob with recreational opportunities like ArtTech Camp that helped his confi dence and social connections grow. Linda says new friendships both at camp and at his new school are making a huge di erence in Kalob’s life. “[Before] Kalob was left out of everything. Kids would pick on him in the playground — he’d come home heartbroken. Now he is getting invited to birthday parties!” Kalob and his grandmother now seem confi dent and hopeful about Kalob’s future. As Linda says, “We have tremendous support behind us. Without Phoenix we would be lost within the system.” The Phoenix team knew the family always had the resilience, strength, and love they needed to help them on their journey, they just needed someone in their corner. Last word goes to Kalob, who wanted to say, “Thank you for helping me get through a lot of stu . Thank you for everything that you have done for me.” a an in PhoenixDonorReport2017.indd 2 2017-06-01 11:13 AM a an in PhoenixDonorReport2017.indd 3 2017-06-01 11:13 AM ring Hope and Possibility There are many reasons why we love working for the Phoenix Youth and Family Therapy program (PYFT). From the beginning, our program was designed to respond to gaps in early intervention services identified by youth and parents, provide cutting-edge therapy, and make sure our services were free and accessible. We especially wanted to reach out to those who have traditionally been underserved or faced discrimination. Our physical space and general atmosphere is warm and welcoming from the moment clients walk in the door. Advocacy is a central piece of the therapy we provide. We continually work to reduce the societal barriers youth and families face while helping them to navigate systems like schools, health, and even arts and recreation opportunities. Our team embraces the complexity of peoples’ lives. Rather than defining clients in terms of their problems, we are interested in the many layers that make Rachel, Fiona, and Alison up who they are. We know that everyone comes to us with challenges, pain, and hardship. And we also know that they come to us with experiences, a cultural Phoenix’s Youth and context, skills and abilities, deeply held values, and hopes and dreams.

Similarly, at Phoenix we must understand our costs and available resources so we can oer programs and services to youth that are meaningful and relevant. These activities typically require planning, research, and discussion. Sustained support plays an important role in both our current and three-to- five year program planning. Phoenix has been fortunate to have partners who understand the value of multi-year commitments and the impact these gifts ultimately make in the lives of youth.

  • Minister of Fisheries and Oceans
    Honourable Ron Chisholm Minister of Fisheries and Aquaculture P.O. Box 2223 Halifax, NS B3J 3C4 January 9th, 2009 Dear Minister Chisholm, In June 2008, your Government announced its commitment to develop a Sustainable Coastal Development Strategy by 2010. We commend the government for taking on this significant initiative. We would like to be formally involved, in a consultative capacity, in the development of the Sustainable Coastal Development Strategy. We are requesting a meeting to discuss mechanisms whereby our input can be formally included in the process. The undersigned organizations support the development and implementation of a Sustainable Coastal Development strategy. Specifically, we expect the Strategy will address the following pressing coastal issues: deteriorating coastal water quality, the destruction of coastal ecosystems and habitats, the loss of marine biodiversity, protection of traditional fisheries, maintaining coastal access, and the vulnerability of our coastal areas to climate change. There is a pressing need for clearer, integrated governance and effective planning that involves the residents of coastal communities. An effective Coastal Development Strategy must result in action on the problems facing our coast. Given the sensitivity of Nova Scotia’s coasts to climate change impacts such as sea level rise, storm surges and accelerated erosion, the province should work with municipalities to reduce the vulnerability of our coastal communities to climate change. Secondly, we expect the Strategy to include federal-provincial-municipal cooperation and coordination on comprehensive land-use planning that addresses coastal issues through use of tools such as zoning, set-backs and the establishment of coastal marine protected areas within consistently applied and enforced regulations.

  • The Nova Scotia Provincial Election of 2009
    Canadian Political Science Review 3(3) September 2009 The Nova Scotia Provincial Election of 2009 Lori Turnbull (Dalhousie University)1 Abstract With over 45% of the popular vote in the provincial election of 2009, the New Democratic Party elected members in 31 of Nova Scotia’s 52 constituencies – enough to form a majority government in the House of Assembly. For the first time in Nova Scotia’s history, neither the Liberals nor the Progressive Conservatives hold power. Given the growing convergence among the parties’ policy platforms, the change in government does not indicate an ideological shift in the province. Instead, it is a signal of general frustration with the two traditional governing parties and a consequent willingness to try something new. Nova Scotia Politics, Pre-dissolution1 On May 4, 2009, almost three years into Rodney MacDonald’s PC minority government, the opposition parties voted down a money bill. The government proposed spending $260 million of Nova Scotia’s “offshore offset” on schools, roads and infrastructure, despite the stipulation in the Provincial Finance Act that this money be earmarked for debt reduction. The plan would have required an amendment to the law, which neither of the opposition parties was prepared to support (CBC News, cbc.ca, May 4, 2009). At the time of dissolution, the governing PCs held 21 seats, the NDP 20 and the Liberals nine. One seat was held by an independent member and another was vacant. From the outset, the consensus was that this election was the NDP’s to lose. Opinion poll data collected by Corporate Research Associates (CRA) shows that public satisfaction with the MacDonald government dropped from 61% in August 2006 to 41% in May 2009 (Corporate Research Associates, May 2006-2009).
