NEW ACADIA INSIGHTS PODCAST! 🎙️

This week’s episode of the Insights Podcast features a candid, wide-ranging conversation with Andy Fillmore, who recently celebrated one year in the job of Mayor of Halifax. He talks about the challenges of delivering on the mandate he was elected on with the current council governance format and the weak mayor powers. There have been few past mayors elected who have had the kind of relevant experience that Fillmore brings to the job. He was the first urban planner hired by the municipality after spending more than a decade in the US doing urban planning. While at the municipality, he led HRM by Design, the blueprint for the city’s development. He was also the Vice President of the Waterfront Development Corporation and played a leading role in the plan to develop what is now Halifax’s extraordinary waterfront. He served for nine years as Halifax’s MP, during which he transformed Halifax from among the lowest recipients of federal investment to one of the highest, helping attract NATO’s DIANA to Halifax and opening up Georges Island to tourism. He brings ambition and big-picture thinking to the job. He has a focus on housing & homelessness, affordability, transit & congestion, urban growth & planning. And he offers his views on the current debate about bike lanes. Don’t miss this conversation.

NEW ACADIA INSIGHTS PODCAST! 🎙️

In this episode of the Insights Podcast, we sit down with Nova Scotia Premier Tim Houston to explore the province’s bold energy ambitions. Premier Houston shares his vision for transforming Nova Scotia into a leading energy producer through offshore wind development—highlighting the Wind West project, which could supply over 25% of Canada’s electricity needs.

We also dive into the potential of offshore and onshore natural gas, the strategic importance of unlocking Nova Scotia’s mining resources, and the regulatory reforms needed to accelerate progress. Premier Houston discusses his efforts to reduce interprovincial trade barriers and his government’s approach to fiscal management amid growing deficits.

This conversation aligns with the themes of bold leadership and national energy strategy outlined in our book Toward Prosperity. If you’re interested in Canada’s energy future, economic development, and policy innovation, this episode is a must-listen.

This summer, 99-9 The Bay was contacted by the management of legendary rock band Foreigner to help give local students a once-in-a-lifetime experience. After a call on-air for local schools to take part, St. Thomas Aquinas Elementary School was selected to join the band on stage for one of their biggest hits, “I Wanna Know What Love Is”.

A special night for these students, many of which had never been to a good old fashion rock and roll show. Hit after hit, Foreigner put on an amazing show with an incredible light show with the auditorium crowd on their feet. After going through almost all of their hits and ending with the classic Jukebox Hero, the band left the stage to be called back out for the encore. It was with that the students from St. Thomas had their moment.

Leader singer Luis Maldonado added a great piece at the end of the song talking about the importance of music in our schools and keeping it alive, a perfect ending to the song.

Our thanks to Foreigner and their entire team who were so gracious on stage and off. These kids know what love is! https://youtu.be/VvYHIUR09sY

An afternoon full of fresh air, forest trails, and the fluffiest coworkers we’ve ever had 🦙🌿

We spent Tuesday afternoon at Llama-zing adventures, where we got to meet their lovable llamas, alpacas, and the one and only Shamy the Camel! A peaceful walk through the woods with our new four-legged friends (followed by snack time, of course) made for the perfect team outing.

A big shoutout to our amazing guide, Chelsea, for making the experience so memorable. If you're looking for a unique local adventure, this is it!
