It’s been a busy time here at the Hub – feels like as the weather has cooled off, the hustle and bustle of activities has things heating up. From hosting the Fossil Fools Filmfest with the Ecology Action Centre, to the whirlwind that was the 4 Days Conference, to the entrepreneurial excitement of DemoHub, and the technological shenanigans of the Friday Afternoon Hacks, not to mention meetings, media, and the Atlantic Eco Expo … and things show no signs of slowing down! Coming up in the next couple of weeks we have a number of interesting and intriguing events: workshops,…

buzzin’ with one eye open …

Normally I try not to type before I’ve had a cup o’ tea (or three). This would be the exception that proves the rule – with so many exciting events to let you know about (if you don’t already). Today (beginning at ten and going until five) is the 2009 B2B Expo, which happens at the World Trade Centre. The theme this year is “Preparing For the Future”, with a particular focus on sustainable business practices. A contingent from our very own Hub will be there, working and connecting with other organizations and attendees. Admission is free, so y’all…

Bitty Buzz

That whooshing sound y’all heard was September whizzing by … and here we are with Thanksgiving on the horizon (not to mention imminent Change, and impending art at night).

Happening at the Hub right now is the ChangeCamp Lunch – a planning session for ChangeCamp Halifax, which is all about facilitating public participation through new relationships and new media. More information can be found at http://wiki.changecamp.ca/ChangeCamp_Nova_Scotia

Then later this evening we welcome the New Earth Institute (folks who are working hard at developing a new international education and research organization) for their first annual meeting and fall gathering ……

Belated Big Buzz!

Well, the leaves are crunching underfoot, the buses are full of young folks who don’t know where anything is, and fall is officially here. But at the Hub, autumn is jostling for airspace with excitement about all the Hub-related shenanigans on the way.

From silly (chair games anyone?) to sweet (homemade baked goods in-house!) to sonic (podcasting station??) to art all day (and night!) … whether you’re looking to walk for a great cause, get a taste of what the Hub has to offer, or sharpen your personal-development skills, we’ve got events for you to try.

See You In September …

I’m Buzzin’ right from the Hub-hive itself today, and though I’m headed out soon, I couldn’t leave without letting y’all know about some of the shenanigans going down in the next little while … yesterday was our monthly Taster, and the Hub was busy all day long. Folks were talking about buying local, building change, and enjoying these last few days of August (oh yeah, and maybe there was some work-related discussion going on). Our calendar continues to fill up with events of all kinds – autumn is going to be busy in the funnest possible way (and yes, I

Hub Buzz … the Life Aquatic version?

HoneyDee — Fri, 21 Aug 2009 16:09:14 +0000

Another sunny day – though considerably cooler than what we’ve been cooking in as of late. And the biggest topic all around town this week has been Bill (as in Hurricane, natch). Bob Dylan sang “you don’t need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows”, and he was right. But with respect to Bob, I think I’ll be paying attention to what the meteorological prognosticators are predicting … there are kayaks involved in this week’s buzz … let’s hope we don’t all need them.

The Hub has been hopping all week – especially on Sunday when we hosted the deux…

The Inaugural Hub Buzz!

As the sun shines down on this Wednesday afternoon, I’m looking forward to catching some rays in the next few days … and anticipating all the activity lighting up the Hub this week … from in-house photos shoots (hellooo Halifax Magazine) to a classical concert, schooling stress, one-of-a-kind designs and more more more music …

Tomorrow evening we are hosting Joanna Bull & the YES+ folks for Success Without Stress: a unique seminar designed specifically for young professionals. How do we achieve our ideal life and career without succumbing to the pressures and stresses that come along with being part of the…
