Other Initiatives

At New Dawn, strategic partnerships with carefully chosen groups and individuals who share our goals for the community are helping us to achieve more. For example, New Dawn has recently formed a partnership with the Cape Breton Regional Health Authority and with our local branch of the Canadian Mental Health Association with an aim to provide fixed rate housing for a large group of “difficult to house” individuals in our community. We are having great success together that neither would have had alone. As well, our partnership with successful business individuals and other community groups at Laurentian Energy is allowing us to “chase the miracles” that may result in substantial economic development for this community.
