Thoughts: Haliwards 2011
Posted by Alex on Apr 8, 2011 in Blog | Comments
–and there goes another year. It’s hard to beleive how far we have come in such a short space of time, not that I’m complaining of course. On Saturday night we held the Haliwards 2011 ceremony. We presented 8 awards, all the details of our award winners can be found on the Haliwards homepage.
The ceremony was a success. It wasn’t perfect, but what event...
Good Afternoon, Halifax

I have been carrying a large secret around with me recently. It’s a secret that very few knew and those that did were sworn to absolute secrecy. It’s quite possibly the best kept secret in the history of the Haliwards and its one that will surprise many and astound a few. It wasn’t the easiest of secrets to carry either. On several occasions I have the urge to let it...

We take great pride in our awards project so naturally we take great pride in our award designs. In the inaugural year of the Haliwards we introduced “Clara”. Clara was the name of our 2010 award and we presented 7 of them at our award ceremony. This year we wanted to take what we had learnt from Clara and bring it forward to match our modern day theme.

A few days ago the postman brought me something very special, very special indeed. Pictured above is a very early copy of the book I wrote. Everybody has expressed how much they love the front cover and I must say I am very pleased with it. The photo was taken in my apartment when I was looking out at the fog one evening. I’m still working on the back cover and the blurb...
The Significance of 2011

Every New Year’s we tell ourselves that this year is going to be different. This year we will change everything to make things the way we want it or to how things “should be”. It’s seems it’s in our nature to have these idolized commitments but come mid-January they are nothing but words.
2010 was a unique year for me and one I won’t forget easily. It marks the...
Farewell, Canada
Posted by Alex on Nov 27, 2010 in Featured Articles | Comments
Canada has been a big part of my life for the past three years and it’s with great sadness that I share the news today, that I’m flying back to live in the UK. When I moved to Halifax last Summer, Canada became my home. I spent most of my first year in Musquodoboit Harbour and as you locals know, it’s a little rural. I have met some wonderful people here and many of...
