Treat accessibly
2024-10-27 14:00 - 16:00
Did You Know?

1 in 6 children in Canada cannot participate in traditional trick-or-treating due to mobility issues and accessibility challenges.
This event ensures every child can experience the magic of Halloween in a safe and welcoming environment with accessible treat stations, sensory-friendly activities, and much more.

I’m reaching out on behalf of the RE/MAX Avante office as we’re thrilled to be hosting New Brunswick’s first Treat Accessibly event. This special initiative, powered by RE/MAX Canada, aims to create an inclusive and accessible trick-or-treating experience for children with disabilities in our community.
The event will take place on October 27th, 2024, from 2-4 pm, in the RE/MAX Avante big parking lot and we’re inviting local businesses/organizations to join us by sponsoring a tent or donating treats. Your sponsorship will help us create a fun, safe, and memorable event for the children and their families. We’re aiming to have 20 businesses participate, each setting up a station where kids can collect treats, play inclusive games, or enjoy a special Halloween experience.
How You Can Get Involved:

Sponsor a Tent: Set up a tent (with or without your branded logo) and table at the event where you can engage with the community, hand out treats, and showcase your support for inclusion.
Donate Treats or Supplies: If you can’t attend the event, consider donating candies or Halloween supplies to ensure we have enough for all the children attending. (Peanut-Free please)

If you’re interested in participating or learning more, please feel free to contact me. I would love to discuss how we can work together to make this an unforgettable experience for the kids.
Together, we can make Halloween accessible for all children in our community!

2025-03-17
In the spirit of community champions, the committee of the Ronald P. Smyth Memorial Scholarship Fund and the United Way are seeking nominations from community organizations for the 17th annual Kim Halliday Memorial Community Mentorship Scholarship Award (A division of the Ron Smyth Memorial Scholarship). The candidate who best meets the criteria will receive an award up to a maximum of $5,000 for one year ($2,500.00 per term).
We mark 17 years of partnership, 17 years of amazing organizations and groups making the commitment to support inspiring individuals chasing their educational goals! After 17 years they are beginning to make their mark in our community and the world.
In building the road to life-long learning, we know that financial stress is not the only challenge to completing post-secondary education.
For a young person, there are all the challenges that come from entering this chapter of their lives. For the adult learner, often returning to studies after an extended break includes unique challenges.
How can you best support a young or adult learner to realize their potential given the challenges they face? Support them and nominate them!
Please find attached a document that explains the criteria for selecting your candidate, the steps to follow to submit the pertinent information, the role you will play as a mentor, and a few inspiring highlights from the lives of Kim Halliday and Ron Smyth. Please also note the additional element of a description of expected expenses related to education to be submitted with this year’s application. The successful recipient is usually honoured at the Ron Smyth Awards dinner sometime in May at NBCC.
All information, including your letter of nomination, must be sent to the scholarship committee by the deadline date of March 17, 2025.

Let’s Work Together for Fair Pay & Better Conditions for Non-Profits and Charities
I’m reaching out to invite you to participate in an important initiative aimed at advancing fair pay and better working conditions in the community non-profit sector. Our colleagues at the Moncton-based Coalition for Pay Equity have launched a 30-month project called “Fair Pay and Just Conditions of Work in the Community Non-Profit Sector.” This project seeks to promote fair wages and equitable working conditions through advocacy for improved policies and practices within our sector, among funders, and with government decision-makers. A one-page project description is attached for your reference.
The United Way of Greater Moncton and SENB sits on the Sector Advisory Committee (SAC) for this project, and we are committed to ensuring that the voices of our regions are heard loud and clear. Province-wide initiatives—whether based in Moncton, Fredericton, or Saint John—require strong participation from all three major cities to be truly representative. Your voice and that of your organization would be a valuable addition.
You may have already received the following invitation but just in case you didn’t or missed it in your inbox I wanted to include it.
Invitation: Learning Circles on Fair Pay and Just Working Conditions
The New Brunswick Coalition for Pay Equity is inviting women and gender-diverse individuals working in the community non-profit sector to participate in a 2-hour Learning Circle. These sessions will explore the root causes of low wages and working conditions in the sector.
Who We Are Looking For:
• Women and gender-diverse individuals—including Indigenous, racialized, and immigrant women, as well as women with disabilities—
• Working in any role within non-profit organizations that provide social services or engage in advocacy.
What Participants Will Gain:
• A safe space to share their day-to-day experiences in the sector.

Legs for Literacy
2026-10-02 - 2026-10-04
Legs for Literacy
Now in its 25th year, Legs for Literacy has contributed nearly $1,000,000 to local charities, including $53,000 being donated this year alone to four organizations making a direct impact in the region.
The event takes place every October and offers something for all ages and abilities, including a 5K, 10K, half marathon, full marathon, and a 1K kids run. Beyond the races themselves, the event is powered by an incredible network of volunteers. Each year, 450 to 500 volunteers contribute more than 10,000 hours to ensure a safe, welcoming, and successful race weekend. From community members to RCMP and security personnel, these volunteers are the backbone of the event.
Many volunteers return year after year, drawn by the energy, purpose, and strong sense of community that defines Legs for Literacy.
Mission:Legs for Literacy enhances the community through running and walking events that raise money and awareness for key partners who promote literacy in Southeastern New Brunswick.
Steve Kikkert
One of our long term volunteers is Steve Kikkert who is our bike lead. As the race takes place through the streets and trails of Moncton, Riverview and Dieppe it logistically is an immense amount of work. Steve has consistently recruited the bike team which included approx 20-25 bikers and leads them up to event day and on the day with practice rides so every member of his team knows their role to prevent any runners going off course and also ensure that everyone gets back safely. Many of our volunteers are repeat volunteers that know of Steve’s professionalism and work ethic as well of his happy personality.

Kraig Colpitts
Kraig is one of the team that has worked with us for a long time, not only ensuring that the course is properly measured with his team of Colin McQuade and Aaron Sellars but also volunteers on race day with Steve’s bike team. Here he is featured with the yellow helmet ensuring last minute details are all up to date.
