🌭 The tent collapsed. 🌭 The rain poured. 🌭 But The hot dogs persevered.

Despite a dramatic start that included a flash thunderstorm and a flattened tent, our National Hot Dog Day Community BBQ Fundraiser turned out to be an amazing day.

Thanks to the incredible support of our community, we served more than 100 hot dogs, raised funds for Feed Nova Scotia, enjoyed some fantastic Beaver Bites courtesy of The Baked Beaver Bakery, and spent the afternoon connecting with friends, neighbours, and local organizations.

The sunshine returned, the grill stayed hot, and the giant hot dog roaming Temperance Street successfully completed its mission of directing people to the bbq.

Thank you to everyone who donated, participated, volunteered, or simply stopped by to say hello.

You made the day something special. ❤️🌭

Rain, rain go away - please don't ruin 🌭

Our Community BBQ Fundraiser in support of Feed Nova Scotia starts in 1 hour pending the rain storm.

The hot dogs are ready, we are ready, and thanks to our friends at The Baked Beaver Bakery , we'll also have delicious Beaver Bites available while supplies last. 🍩

Pride Month is a great time to reflect on how we support our colleagues. 🌈

We’re sharing a new guide on how to move from symbolic support to real, everyday inclusion at work. True belonging means recognizing that we rarely experience our identities in isolation, and our latest article explores how an intersectional approach helps organizations bridge that gap.

We break down the practical steps to facilitate deep conversations smoothly, handle defensiveness with curiosity, and integrate continuous inclusion frameworks into your training calendar.

To support your programs this month, Velsoft is offering our full Intersectionality in the Workplace training kit completely free. It includes an instructor guide, participant workbooks, presentation slides, and activities with no ongoing per-seat fees.

Training works best when it reflects real work.

But many programs are still built around generic scenarios that don’t fully connect with day-to-day reality.

The result? Learning that’s harder to apply and easy to forget.

Custom training courses take a different approach—building learning around your context, your tools, and your workflows.

That’s when training becomes more relevant, and ultimately, more effective.

To celebrate Earth Day, the Velsoft and Ignite Atlantic team spent the morning participating in the Pictou County Go Clean Get Green initiative.

We’re proud to call this community home, and we believe that contributing to its well-being starts right in our own backyard.

It’s amazing what a small group can accomplish with some grabbers, trash bags, and a bit of teamwork.

Thanks to everyone who rolled up their sleeves to help keep our neighborhood clean and green! 🌎💚
