So what would happen if there was a place to go to access resources, connections, knowledge and investment? Welcome to The Halifax Hub.

Thanks is due to the organizers and sponsors with a particular shout out to Ryan Deschamps from the Library and Craig Moore of Spider Video who have been there for a few years to nurture podcamp to where it is today. Of course there are many who have been integral, but these two have done it all from managing the facility details to hosting the in-between spaces.

The event was well attended…

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.
