“People are born into this world as assets, not liabilities. It’s all about the way we treat people (and ourselves) that determines a person’s outcome.” – Bill Strickland

This is the philosophy behind an exciting initiative underway in Nova Scotia known as the Bridge Centre for Arts and Technology (or “Bridge CAT”). It is modeled after the success that Bill Strickland has had at his Manchester Bidwell Centre in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

Bill’s story is one of redemption through arts, music and unlikely partnerships, and he has been in the business of turning lives around for more than 30 years. Through Bill’s programs, children and young adults who are caught in a cycle of poverty find meaning and hope, bringing light into their lives.

Bridge to a Better Life

Thanks to each of you, we are well on our way to building a better future for many through the funds raised in ‘Bridge to a Better Life.’ 

With over 350 in attendance during this magical event on September 17th, we were able to raise over $60,000 towards the next step in this journey.  Initiatives such as this form the backbone of our fundraising. These events provide an excellent opportunity to network and great exposure for all of our community partners. 

In the next 12 months we will be moving forward and building our own Bridge Centre for Arts and Technology. We are very much looking forward to sharing this amazing journey with you! Continue to check our website (www.bridgecat.ca) for updates on the many bridges we will build within our community in the year to come. 

Many thanks also to our partners in this event! 

If you are interested in being involved in our next event, please contact BridgeCAT at 902.452.7207 or info@bridgecat.ca.
