What is Nova Scotia's Community Haul?
Do you want to support local, but not sure where to start? Do you love fun surprises delivered to your doorstep every month? Who doesn't!
Weddings and school concerts, charity bake sales and chase-the-ace - our community halls are where Nova Scotians have come together for generations to celebrate and support one another. We’ve transformed the community hall into a Community Haul to help you discover your local alternatives.
Nova Scotia's Community Haul, partnered with Symplicity Designs, set out to create a fun way to help the small business community through a monthly subscription box. But we aren’t just any subscription box; we pack a big punch! Every box sold supports the IWK Foundation to provide care for the women and children in the Maritimes.
We’re now in year two - and what an exciting year we have lined up for you! Each month you’ll discover the best of Nova Scotia with even more local AND you’ll be supporting the IWK Foundation!
Whether you live here or love Nova Scotia from afar - it’s easy to support and discover the best that Nova Scotia has to offer.
If you’re ready to make a big impact on the community, discover new products and businesses that excite you and take out the guesswork on how to support local - it’s time to join the Community!
We’re just getting started and it’s going to be one haul of a year!
