We are once again organizing a neighbourhood yard sale for the White Hills subdivision, to be held on Saturday June 16th (rain or shine). The time we will be advertising for the yard sale is 9:00am to 1:00pm but as a seller, if you want to start or end earlier or later, that is up to you.

We will be placing ads in various locations, web, print, and signage, and will maintain a list of all addresses that are participating which we will post on our website, and share with all sellers to print off for distribution along with a map of the community to shoppers.

If you plan to participate as a seller, and want to have your home listed, please email us at whitehillscommunity©gmail.com. Please make sure that you send in your information by end of day Thursday June 14th so that we can be sure to get it on the printed handouts.

If you have any suggestions or want to help out please let us know.

Tips for sellers - check out this website that I found helpful.

Heads up, neighbours. Some of you may have already recieved this info via recorded phone call message but here it is again if you're like me, and forgot the details...

Mat Whynott will be at the Upper Hammonds Plains Community Centre (at 711 Pockwock Road, just past the entrance to White Hills) from 3pm til 7pm today, March 15th, in case any of you have questions you'd like to ask him or items you wish to discuss.

Let's Talk #104: In addition, as per a recent mailout from Geoff Regan (MP Halifax West), there is a Public Meeting on Tuesday April 17th at the Hammonds Plains Fire Hall. From 7pm to 8pm is an open discussion, and from 8pm to 9pm is reserved for individual appointments. If you wish to make an appointment, presumably (the info wasn't given) you can visit http://www.geoffregan.ca and contact his office from there.

Watch out, neighbours, a pair of aggressive coyotes have been seen near McCabe Lake, and today they chased someone out walking their dog. Another resident came to the rescue with a 4-wheeler and luckily nothing worse happened, however it is important for us to be aware that there are wild animals about and to exercise caution when out with children and/or pets. It also doesn't hurt to be aware of the information provided by DNR about Coyotes, which can be found here: http://www.gov.ns.ca/natr/wildlife/nuisance/coyotes-faq.asp

EDIT: One of our residents has informed us that Amy at DNR would like any updates as to where they are moving about in the subdivision and any incidents regarding them at the Waverley Office (865-2560) or After Hour Emergencies use 1-800-565-2224.
