HFX50 Submissions: the shining lights leading the way forward

One of our goals is to celebrate those able to embrace change and drive change for the better. We will highlight the unique and innovative in our home city of Halifax that can inspire us all and serve as (role) models.

Thus inspired by All Day Buffet’s NYC100, we are launching an annual list called the HFX50+.
There will be 5 categories for the HFX50+:

1. Food, Health & the Environment – we love good food, we want more, thus we should probably look after the environment – who’s providing any of that?
2. Technology & Innovation – the implementation of new ideas
3. Art & Culture – be it individual artists or orgs that support local arts & culture, who is making an impact and showing us the way forward?
4. Business & Non-Profit – best businesses and NPO that represent what we are seeking [see below]
5. Social & Design – for those bringing people together, connecting communities, doing it with style or creating the objects we covet or the places we want to live and work

We will be looking at a number of factors covering everything from their mission, work they actually do, how they spend their time/money, who they work with, their contribution to the local community, wider contributions, and their pursuits of new ideas/innovations to name a few.

SUBMISSIONS WELCOME
While we have started compiling names ourselves, we know there are folks and organizations out there we probably aren’t aware of or may be forgetting – don’t let that happen. If you would like to submit an individual, business or organization for consideration please send an email with their name to: HFX50@aquietrevolution.com

Deadline is October 16th @ Midnight
The list will be part of our first issue of SPIDER available in late October.
