Community Leaders

At Office Interiors, we believe in creating spaces that inspire productivity and creativity—not just in workplaces but in our communities too. As a Community Leader Sponsor for Live Art Dance, we are grateful for the opportunity to play a small role in making live performances more accessible. This year, we’re especially pleased to support Adsum for Women and Children, an organization providing essential support to those facing challenges in our community. We deeply admire the work of both Live Art Dance and Adsum House in fostering connection and inclusivity and are humbled to contribute in a small way to their efforts.

Adsum for Women & Children provides emergency shelter, long term housing and support services to women, gender-diverse people and families who are experiencing homelessness. We provide permanent, safe, and affordable housing to 100 people in Adsum locations across HRM, 365 days a year, including 25 apartments in our newly opened Sunflower in Lakeside.

We provide housing support, outreach and programs to hundreds more singles and families in independent apartments and hotels everyday. Adsum is also providing shelter rooms, food and support services to 187 people at “The Bridge”  in partnership with Dept. of Community Services. We appreciate your kind support.        

Breakhouse is a strategic design and branding firm that unites architecture, interior design and narrative. We bring a cross-disciplinary approach to help our clients connect with their audience by creating compelling, elevated customer experiences for complex environments in the hospitality and wellness sectors.

“When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.”

This is the motto that drives Hope Blooms. We engage youth in the high needs community of North End Halifax to become change agents. They create innovative environments for long term impact in food security, education, social inclusion and disrupting the cycle of poverty.
