Code Ninjas is North America's largest kids coding franchise. In our Dojos, kids don't just learn coding - they learn important life skills such as leadership, creativity, problem-solving and computational and critical thinking, and STEM skills in a fun, safe, and inspiring environment - by playing and building video games they love. Kids have a blast and can't wait to come back. Parents are thrilled as their children gain confidence and new skills including coding, math, logic, and problem-solving, as they progress from white to black belt. Guided by our team of Code Senseis, Code Ninjas empower kids to gain valuable tech skills and make new friends. It's an unforgettably fun learning experience! Our Camps help teach important life skills wrapped up in themes they love, like Robotics, Roblox, Minecraft, YouTube, and more! We strive to have a positive relationship with the community by providing a safe and welcoming learning environment for kids, outside of school. We encourage our students to use their coding skills to make a positive impact on the community, such as creating apps or websites to solve problems. Our curriculum teaches kids to code by creating games using tools such as ScratchJr, MakeCode Arcade, and Unity. They are not just passively playing games - they are building games while learning the fundamentals of coding and having a great time doing it!

About NECHC The North End Community Health Centre (NECHC) was established in 1971 in response to an absence of primary health care and other health services in Halifax’s North End. Located on Gottingen Street, we are in the heart of a unique and culturally diverse community. Today, governed by a board of directors, the NECHC is viewed by area residents as a “beacon of hope” in the community. Much more than a Primary Care Clinic, the NECHC has expanded in response to unmet needs of community members and is highly-valued by its patients and clients and their families. NECHC provides services to those living on the margins of society, through MOSH, Housing First and a wide range of community outreach initiatives. Vision Strong community - healthy people.

After moving through several sites ebbs and flows of activity, the work of the Mission was taken up by the congregation of Brunswick Street United Church in 1929. The City Mission offered support including childcare, food, clothing, and employment help. Over time, the work of the Mission grew to be too much for one congregation to carry out and in 2005, the Halifax Presbytery of The United Church of Canada approved the trial formation of a separate entity: Brunswick Street Mission. The trial was deemed a success and permanent arrangements were made in 2009. Our mission remains as it did over 150 years ago: working to meet the needs of those experiencing poverty in Halifax.
