On January 16, 2012, we were thrilled to present Make-A-Wish Atlantic Provinces with a cheque for $3760.00!! Over the Holiday Season, we offered the Take the Elevator Home promotion where a portion of each booking went to support the Make-A-Wish program in Atlantic Canada.
With your support, we’re excited to Make-A-Wish this Holiday Season! Our Halifax Hotel, the Westin Nova Scotian has partnered with Make-A-Wish Foundation for the Take the Elevator Home promotion.

The first annual Briga-Ski event was held on Friday, March 11 at Wentworth ski hill. The Westin Nova Scotian along with our awesome partners pulled off a stellar fundraising event for Brigadoon Children's Camp to the tune of $13,000.00 in pledge donations and silent auction purchases.
What is Brigadoon Village? Brigadoon Children's Camp Society is a not for profit society who is currently building a $7 million, year-round, recreational facility in Nova Scotia's Annapolis Valley (Opening in August, 2011). Once built, Brigadoon will offer programming in outdoor education, sailing, canoeing/kayaking, swimming, the arts, environmental studies, general camping and primary health. With a medical centre and mandates that include teaching and research, Brigadoon is one of a handful of facilities in North America, and a first in Eastern Canada, that will address the very large "unmet need" of children and families living with a chronic illness and seeking recreational programming. For more information on Brigadoon, please visit: www.brigadoonvillage.org
