50 years of community development on Cape Breton
Cape Breton Post, June 3, 2026
New Dawn, At Home Housing Association, and the Town of Port Hawkesbury are working together to provide inclusive, accessible housing that supports community vitality and sustainable growth.
Designed with accessibility and inclusion at its core, this mixed-income neighbourhood provides housing options for people with diverse incomes and needs, helping ensure Port Hawkesbury remains a welcoming place for current and future residents.
54 units (1, 2, and 3-bedrooms)
Combination of moderate-income affordable units, median-income affordable units, and deeply affordable units
Approximately 20 percent of the units will be fully accessible, with priority given to individuals with disabilities and seniors
New Dawn is currently seeking financing and funding for the development. An application was submitted in May 2026 to Build Canada Homes and is under evaluation.
We are also in the process of drafting an application to the Province of Nova Scotia's Affordable Housing Development Program.
New Dawn, At Home, and the Town of Port Hawkesbury continue to work in partnership to try to find a path forward to secure this next phase of critical capital funding for the build.
Our Safe Spaces policy ensures a respectful, supportive atmosphere for everyone. We pledge to listen, learn, and adapt to your needs, because your well-being is our priority. Together, we will create a safer, compassionate community for all.
As a member of the non-profit New Dawn Enterprises family, all profits generated are reinvested back into our community to support programs such as New Dawn Meals on Wheels which delivers over 20,000 meals annually to those in need. Clients of New Dawn are indirectly supporting our community and for that, we thank you for choosing us!
Each year, we deliver 20,000 meals to those in need, enabling more people to live well and longer in their homes

We are in Unama’ki, one of the seven traditional and unceded ancestral territories of the people of Mi’kma’ki. This territory is covered by the Treaties of Peace and Friendship which the Mi’kmaq first signed with the British Crown in 1726.

We wish to recognize and honour this understanding of the lands on which we reside. It is from here, on these lands, that we work to create and support a culture of self-reliance and vibrancy.
