The annual Canadian Ferry Association (CFA) Conference & Trade Show, held this year in Halifax from September 24-26, travels to a different part of the country every year \u2013 and that gives the opportunity for delegates from across the country to give back to the host community.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe believe that the CFA Conference & Trade Show is the best event for the marine sector in Canada, bar none. It has become a tradition at the conference to showcase some of the important charitable work happening in the communities we visit and give our delegates the chance to make a real difference in people\u2019s lives while having a little fun along the way,\u201d said Captain Jamie Marshall, Chair of CFA\u2019s Board of Directors.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For 2017, CFA chose Feed Nova Scotia, the\u00a0province\u2019s main food distributor, as the recipient organization.\u00a0Last year, food bank use in Nova Scotia had climbed faster than in any other Canadian province.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Through the\u00a0generosity of our delegates and a matching donation from CFA, we\u00a0were so pleased to present a cheque to Feed Nova Scotia for $11,000.00. What an effort for such an important cause,\u201d said Captain Marshall.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"A gift this size will allow us to distribute enough food for 17,000 meals--that's huge! And the real impact goes even deeper, because food is so much more than physical nourishment. It's comfort, it's peace of mind, and often it's a stepping stone to amazing things,\" said Karen Theriault, Director of Development and Communications, who spoke to the crowd about the\u00a0work of Feed Nova Scotia. \"The generosity of everyone in the room that night was truly overwhelming. It's a gift we won't soon forget.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0La conf\u00e9rence et foire commerciale annuelle de l'Association canadienne des traversiers (ACT), qui a eu lieu cette ann\u00e9e \u00e0 Halifax du 24 au 26\u00a0septembre, est tenue, chaque ann\u00e9e, dans une r\u00e9gion diff\u00e9rente du pays \u2013 offrant aux d\u00e9l\u00e9gu\u00e9s des quatre coins du pays une occasion de redonner \u00e0 la collectivit\u00e9 locale.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00ab\u00a0Nous croyons que la conf\u00e9rence et foire commerciale de l'ACT est incontestablement le meilleur \u00e9v\u00e9nement pour le secteur maritime au Canada. Il s'agit maintenant d'une tradition de pr\u00e9senter, au cours de la conf\u00e9rence, certaines des activit\u00e9s importantes de bienfaisance men\u00e9es dans les collectivit\u00e9s que nous visitons et de donner l'occasion \u00e0 nos d\u00e9l\u00e9gu\u00e9s de poser un geste concret pour changer les vies des gens, tout en s'amusant un peu en m\u00eame temps\u00a0\u00bb, a affirm\u00e9 le capitaine Jamie Marshall, pr\u00e9sident du conseil d'administration de l'ACT.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Pour la conf\u00e9rence de 2017, l'ACT a choisi de remettre les fonds amass\u00e9s \u00e0 Feed Nova Scotia, la plus grande banque alimentaire de la province.\u00a0L'an dernier, le recours aux banques alimentaires a augment\u00e9 plus rapidement en Nouvelle-\u00c9cosse que dans toutes les autres provinces canadiennes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00ab\u00a0Gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 la g\u00e9n\u00e9rosit\u00e9 de nos d\u00e9l\u00e9gu\u00e9s et \u00e0 un don jumel\u00e9 de la part de l'ACT, nous sommes vraiment fiers de pouvoir remettre un ch\u00e8que de 11\u00a0000\u00a0$ \u00e0 l'organisme Feed Nova. Quel bel effort pour une cause si importante\u00a0\u00bb, a d\u00e9clar\u00e9 le capitaine Marshall.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00ab\u00a0Ce montant nous permettra de distribuer des aliments pour 17\u00a0000\u00a0repas \u2013 c'est incroyable! Et l'effet est plus profond que l'on pense, parce que la nourriture ne nous permet pas uniquement de nourrir notre corps. Elle sert de r\u00e9confort, elle offre une tranquillit\u00e9 d'esprit, et souvent, elle constitue la premi\u00e8re \u00e9tape \u00e0 la r\u00e9alisation de choses merveilleuses, a expliqu\u00e9 la directrice de la croissance et des communications, Karen Theriault, qui s'est adress\u00e9e \u00e0 la foule \u00e0 propos du travail de l'organisme Feed Nova Scotia. La g\u00e9n\u00e9rosit\u00e9 dont a fait preuve chacune des personnes pr\u00e9sentes dans la salle ce soir-l\u00e0 \u00e9tait remarquable. Nous ne l'oublierons pas de sit\u00f4t.\u00a0\u00bb<\/span><\/p>\n
