Spirit Award for Greater Pugwash Community
We are honoured to be one of the communities receiving the Lieutenant Governor of Nova Scotia Community Spirit Award for 2023.
Pugwash is a small fishing community with a big heart, “can do” attitude, and the vision, creative spirit, and determination to get things done!
Located at the mouth of the Pugwash River on the North Shore, the village, with a volunteer Village Commission, has approximately 736 full-time residents, including Pugwash River, Pleasure Cove, Pugwash Junction, Pugwash Point, Gulf Shore and downtown proper.
The population swells to over 5,000 in summer, with many cottagers and visitors coming to enjoy our two major festivals.
Over 50 volunteer organizations in the village rely heavily on over 500 volunteers of all ages to deliver programming, develop new infrastructure, hold events, and fundraise.
We receive tremendous support from local businesses, in both time and sponsorship dollars, to enhance the work of our volunteer efforts.
Our volunteer organizations collaborate to celebrate our heritage, find solutions to challenges, and take pride in our accomplishments to continue to grow and hope for the future.
Together we are stronger!
We are honoured to be one of the communities receiving the Lieutenant Governor of Nova Scotia Community Spirit Award for 2023.
