Good Afternoon, Halifax
Posted by Alex on Mar 24, 2011 in Featured Articles | Comments
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...

The Significance of 2011
Posted by Alex on Jan 1, 2011 in Featured Articles | Comments
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...
The Advisory Board

As many of you know, the Haliwards is my first international project. After the success of the inaugural year, I wanted to start to involve local people by the way of an Advisory Board. Here is a short and sweet look at the people who make up the 2010/2011 board. Though we have only been working together for a few weeks, I can safely say we are in for a good year!

So today Apple released their latest creation, the iPhone 4. We all knew it was coming thanks to Gizmodo and there arguably illegal activities —and let’s face it, It’s pretty much what we wanted! It certainly is in my eyes. I must admit that I was getting a little worried to begin with when they started focusing on 3 new apps and one of them was Farmville, but thank god...

This post would have arrived a little earlier, but like everyone who has worked on the Blue Nose Marathon the past few days have been “recovery time”. On Monday my voice was gone and I spent most of it dozing in and out of consciousness. It makes me wonder how the people who ran the marathon felt like on...
