Under one roof: How COVID-19 turned my apartment building of strangers into a community

It’s fascinating how a virus that is making us all spend time apart, is also bringing people together.

Together at a distance: How does a ‘casserole culture’ grieve as one when people are told to stay apart?

This past week has been overwhelming and devastating for our province. The fact that we can’t grieve together make sit even more unimaginable.

Michael Ungar, a Canada Research Chair at Dalhousie University who specializes in resilience, says the ways that people typically respond after tragedy – the food and coffee cards, the roadside memorials and candlelight vigils – can be an important part of the healing process, connecting grieving people to their communities and helping them take back their public spaces. He says Nova Scotians in particular are “casserole people,” who show up for each other in difficult times to help.

He says it’s not yet clear whether these acts of communal mourning will have the same effects when they take place without physical contact.

If you’ve been dreaming of living in a log home and starting a little homestead, you’re in luck!

Nestled in the woods on Second Peninsula, this adorable home has been converted from a rustic cabin to an all-season retreat, complete with new updates to meet your every need including country chic finishing’s, wood-stove, metal roof, heat pump, and water filtration system to name a few.

Mornings spent walking on the nearby Bachman’s Beach, afternoons working in the garden and evenings sipping a glass of ice tea while barbecuing under the pergola. Sounds heavenly to me!
