We Have Moved!
The Christmas Tree
Council of Nova Scotia has undergone significant realignment
this fall in an effort to improve
services for our growers. Our office services will now be
supplied by the staff of the Nova Scotia Federation of
Agriculture. The office is now in Bible Hill, in the
Annapolis Building of Perennia Innovation Park. This new
arrangement offers full week service, a central location in the
Province, and immediate access to personnel who are also
familiar with the suite of agriculture programs and information
available to farmers - we are now an agricultural commodity.
So do not be startled when you phone the office number and
receive the warm Federation of Agriculture greeting, we are all
farmers.
In addition to the change of office
services, Council has also added new personnel. We are
extremely fortunate to have the services of Angus Bonnyman as
our new Executive Director and Annette Bourgeois-Bent as the new
Journal Editor. Both replace Matthew Wright, who "slides
laterally" to take on the Industry Coordinator role for the
industry, a position funded for two years by the Nova Scotia
Department of Natural Resources in an effort to transition the
industry from the services we had received from the Department
Christmas tree specialists. Angus and Annette both bring
specific abilities to Council which will augment and improve our
ability to support our growers and exporters. Visit
our "Contact Us" page for our new listings.
