Performing Arts Lodge (PAL) Halifax

Cheer on Team PAL as they support literacy and spell their way to glory!

On Thursday, March 8th from 7-11pm PAL Halifax is delighted to help support Word on the Street by participating in a fundraising Spelling Bee at Murphy’s on the Water. The group will be lead by the fearless “Captain PAL” Kimberly Bungay with a crack team of spellers: D-E-B Allen, D-A-N MacDonald and E-R-I-C Stotts. Mr Stotts, current PAL Halifax Co-Chair, is an Illinois legend as a former finalist in the Peoria District Jr High Spelling Bee so prepare to be amazed! We thank all four of them for giving their time and taking on the challenge.

PAL Halifax is grateful for the many people who have participated in our Scrabble with the Stars events and the WOTS Spelling Bee promises to be a fun night in support of a very worthwhile cause.

All are welcome! We encourage you to come and cheer on Team PAL and support Word on the Street on Thursday evening. Individual tickets are $30 and a table of 8 is $210.

PAL Halifax has just signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Housing Trust of Nova Scotia in the hopes of securing affordable apartments for our members in a development currently being planned for Gottingen St. in Halifax. Gottingen St. is enjoying a mini-resurgence as an arts-based neighbourhood!

In exchange for a potential ‘set-aside’ of affordable units for our members, PAL Halifax is assisting the Housing Trust in programming the ground-floor space to be a vibrant complement to the Gottingen Street community and to our member tenants as well.

Several members of the PAL Halifax board attended a meeting with the Gottingen St. Merchants’ Association, in which Ross Cantwell, President of the Housing Trust, presented preliminary schemes for the building. Much valuable input was received from the assembled group. While work remains to be done on the part of the Housing Trust and their architect to bring the proposed facility more in line with the scale and character of the community, PAL Halifax is incredibly excited about the prospects of providing affordable housing to our members in this burgeoning arts community.
