The Halifax Summer Opera Festival and Workshop educates and develops both singers and audiences through the performance of operatic repertoire. Our goals are to present three fully staged operas each summer in Halifax that challenge and enrich both artists and audience, and that are artistically and financially accessible to both. Our aesthetic is artist-centred, creative, professional, relatively low-budget, alternative, modern and respectful of our source material. Our clients are singers (from community members to university undergrads to professionals), creative and technical workers and audience members, who may be experienced opera or theatre goers, or newcomers to the art form

Welcome to Happy at Home Halifax,

​We are always seeking individuals who have a heart for seniors and want to make an impact in their community! Read below about the programs we offer and click "Apply now" to fill out a volunteer application form!

​We offer a weekly meal delivery service free of charge to seniors who find it challenging to cook a well-balanced meal for a variety of reasons. We know healthy food positively impacts our ability to function at our best. Our meals are delivered frozen so they can be used whenever the recipient needs it. A meal contains a main dish, roll, and a dessert. While a recipient is on this service, we try to find a long-term solution for them to receive healthy meals more than once a week.

​Delivery of prepaid grocery or pharmacy items is available. Our team of volunteers will pickup prepaid grocery and prescription orders and bring these items right to your door.  At times, mobility, weather, and health issues can make it difficult to pickup these needed items and we are here to help.

​Our Home Maintenance program offers free labour to complete small tasks such as installing doorknobs, toilet paper holders, hanging pictures or mirrors, assembling furniture etc. These smaller jobs can make a house much more comfortable for seniors to live in and feel more like home.

​​Kind regards,

Happy at Home Halifax Team

We are an elementary school serving the children and their families of Dartmouth North.  We are offering free lunch once a month for the children.  We need more help.  We are looking for 3 volunteers to help make sandwiches and cut up fruit and vegetables for approximately 210 children.

The Rotary Club of Halifax Harbour is hosting its ninth annual Harbourside Ribfest at Alderney Landing. Harbourside RibFest is proudly 100% run by volunteers and serves as a vital community fundraiser. We rely on the dedication and enthusiasm of individuals and groups like you to bring our festival to life. This is a fantastic opportunity to contribute to great causes while being part of an exciting community event.

This year's festivity will feature a diverse selection of five rib trucks alongside vibrant local vendors, set to attract thousands of attendees. Our event not only offers a delightful culinary experience but also serves a greater purpose, with all proceeds being channeled into supporting numerous local and international charities through the Rotary Club's efforts.
