The Rotary Club of Halifax Harbourside presents their 24th Annual Mother’s Day Brunch at Cunard Centre, it’s a family-friendly brunch with bouncy castles and a supervised kids’ area, with games, arts and crafts, making it fun for the kids and adults. The children’s buffet is a hit with the younger crowd (their tables are lower so they can easily help themselves). While the kids are having fun, the adults can relax at the table and enjoy an amazing buffet brunch while the Waterford Jazz duo play some lovely background music.
If you’d rather get out of town, head so the South Shore to Ross Farm. Mother’s get free admission, so explore the farm, pet some cute animals and enjoy tea and cake in Rosebud cottage before the drive back!
