Big Brothers Big Sisters Bowl for Kids Sake

WHW staffers – led by Big Sisters Anna Sampson (Intern Architect) and Caley Scholer (Architectural Technologist ) – have been busy raising funds for The Bowl for Kids Sake event in support of Big Brothers Big Sisters. Here in the offices, we’ve had a ‘wear slippers to work’ day, a lunch time trivia competition and cupcake sale, and we’re looking forward to an upcoming raffle and a WHW social night at Durty Nelly’s next week. Raffle prizes were generously donated by Atlantica Hotel Halifax, Wade Atlantic and Remedy Spa.

WHW teams participating in the event are as follows:
WHW Gutter Brackets (Anna Sampson, Joe Dotten, Joanne LeClerc, Stephanie Nifort, and Michael Pfammatter)
WHW Door Strikes (Caley Scholer, Jon Kimball, Selen Levi, Kylie Mosher, Dave Phillips)
WHW A Frames (Charlene Johnson, Jane Abbott, Rob McLaren, Joe Zareski)

These events have been a great way to have some fun in the office and raise funds for a worthy cause. Thanks to the individuals and corporate sponsors who have been generous with their time and donations.

Halifax Public Gardens Bandstand

Work is well underway to restore the Bandstand in Halifax Public Gardens. When it emerges from its cocoon in about a month's time, it will sport a new copper roof (this is the new roof structure) and a paint scheme and details that will reflect its condition at the turn of the last century. The Bandstand was built in 1887 to celebrate Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee. It was designed by Hamburg-born Halifax Architect Henry Busch, whose work also includes the AllianceAtlantis building on the corner of Brunswick and Sackville Streets, next door to WHW's offices.
