The Chebucto Connections (www.chebuctoconnections.ca) time banking program is here. The concept behind the time bank is this: when you spend an hour to do something for an individual or group, you earn a ‘time dollar.’ You can use that time dollar to buy an hour of a neighbour’s time or engage in a group activity offered by a neighbour.

The idea is to connect individuals for the common good, and connect unmet needs with untapped resources. Examples of time banking activities include: home repair, massage, pet care, transportation, editing, errands, cooking, and more.

Chebucto Connections particularly hopes to connect youth with seniors. For more information, please contact Marilyn Johnson. 471-6378, ccda.johnson@bellaliant.com
