FM: Between New Glasgow and Stellarton, there are four hotels, but throughout the region there are many more businesses that offer overnight and extended stay accom- modations. Pictou Lodge is a seasonal operation that is just phenomenal. And again, even though it’s not in New Glasgow, it’s an incredible regional asset that should be promoted by the entire region. Corporate retreats and business conferences at Pictou Lodge Beach Resort make for a memorable experience. The Wellness Centre also offers excellent conference and meeting spaces. Summer Street Industries is another incredible organization here in New Glasgow that offers banquet services and meeting space in a great facility while Glasgow Square offers a beautiful setting for wedding, gatherings and meetings in addition to performances and productions. ND: Summer Street Industries is an inspiring success story. They offer vocational services and life coaching to people with disabilities, mental and physical, and they are key to our community and they really model what we do here in New Glasgow: we lookout for one another and we know that we’re strongest when we’re all engaged together. The non-profit sector in Pictou County is extraordinary and leading the way in their work. Editor’s note: New Glasgow is one of many communities in Pictou County that have actively responded to the Syrian refugee crisis. The Pictou County Safe Harbour Project has provided new homes to several Syrian families throughout the region. Hijab Day was celebrated at the New Glasgow Public Library in January with support from the Multicul- tural Association of Pictou County and the people of New Glasgow. Human Values Day was also recognized in the Town of New Glasgow on April 24.
