by Jessica Norman The coronavirus pandemic has pre- vented many things this year, but Trick or Eat a success! was unable to hinder the spirit of volunteerism for a group of JL Ilsley students this Halloween. Led by this year’s organizer, Jessica Norman, a dedicated group of twenty three student volunteers set out to the side- walks on the evening of October 31st, ready and excited to participate in JL’s annual Trick or Eat Food Drive. Trick Or Eat is an annual fundrais- ing event in which students collect food donations in a door-to-door fashion. All student participants wore non-medical face coverings, and all food donations were collected in a contactless manner. The dispersion of the small groups allowed for a wide radius of homes to be included in the event, with almost every home in the area offering generous donations. Many students went as far as to don creative Halloween costumes, includ- ing various pop culture references. In spite of complications due to the virus, this year’s event proved just as fruitful as previous iterations. Col- lected in smaller teams of volunteers, the final yield was four car-loads of non-perishable food donations. All proceeds were taken to the Chebucto Family Centre directly after the event, JL Students’ Council Executive Members (left to right) Breagh Langille, Jessica Norman, and Anna Jericho at the JL Ilsley Trick or Eat Campaign” and were left to quarantine over the weekend. In reflection, the JL Ilsley Students’ Council is incredibly proud of the great success this event turned out to be. Each and every participating stu- dent would like to offer their greatest thanks to all those who supported this wonderful Halloween initiative. In a year of unfortunate disappointments, this event was a shining success for the JL Ilsley community, and will be remembered by participants for years to come.

Food Banks Canada says that COVID-19 has had a devastating impact on the food bank system for many reasons – from more people needing to access food banks, to fewer food donations coming in, and fewer food bank staff and volun- teers available to work. Yet food banks across Canada con- tinue to be leaders in their communi- ties in providing food to those who live with food insecurity. Loblaw is proud to partner with Food Banks Canada and local food banks across the coun- try to support their critical work. In Halifax, local Atlantic Super- store and No Frills stores will hold their annual in-store Holiday Food Drive again this year, from Novem- ber 26 to December 24.

District 9 introduced a motion to the and appears below: “To recognize how inappropriate development is in this area, a large portion of one these properties is cur- rently zoned Urban Reserve. Given the location on Williams Lake and the proximity to the newly created municipal Shaw Wilderness Park, the development of these lands put at risk the substantial investment that Hali- fax and the Nature Conservancy of Canada just made in creating a sus- tainable recreation facility. It also puts the water quality in Williams Lake at greater risk, which would further degrade the recreational value and biodiversity of Williams Lake and the Shaw Wilderness Park, as demonstrat- ed in the Green Network Plan.” The Williams Lake Conservation Company fully supports this proposed zoning change. Submissions have been made to HRM staff detailing the need to prevent development on these pieces of land. It is expected that the report will be tabled with the Commu- nity Council in the near future. Although these lands have recently been pulled from the market, we feel it is imperative that council continue to move forward in working to change Map: Dr. Melanie Dobson; Red Line: Three parcels of land on Williams Lake watershed; White Line: Shaw Wilderness Park; Blue Mark: Williams Lake dam the land designations.
