In this issue of Spotlight on Business Magazine, we showcase 25 years of the Jubilee as it gets ready to celebrate its Silver Anniversary after a two-year hiatus due to the pandemic. The Jubilee or “Jube” as it is affectionately known to most, is an award-winning music and community event that has brought thousands of music fans to Pictou County each year for three amazing nights along the East River of local, up and coming and the best iconic Canadian artists.
We also sit down with the founders and co-owners of Kirribilli EcoRetreat - Pictou Island Yurts to learn about the resort and to get a better understanding of this truly unique tiny coastal island off Nova Scotia that has people traveling from all over the world to experience the island’s natural beauty and rejuvenating power for your mind, body, and soul.
We take a look at the one bright spot for the aviation industry, specifically the Halifax Stanfield International Airport and the growth of the air cargo business and their ability to get goods off the ground and into markets all over the world.
We continue our Renewable Energy & Efficiency Series by putting the spotlight on the work being done by the Alternative Resource Energy Authority with municipalities to create a realistic path towards net zero in the supply and end-user sides of electrical power.
Some people like sports and some people live sports, Kris McCarthy is the latter. That is why we are excited to have Kris ‘in the spotlight’ for this issue to chat about his transition from professional hockey player to team General Manager and how he combined his entrepreneurial spirit, passion for sports, and experience in building a successful franchise on and off the ice into co-founding FanSaves.
