Congratulations to Grade 11 student Harry Nickerson of Halifax on being named MVP at the Senior Goalball Nationals in Richmond, BC, May 15–17! Harry helped lead Team NS Men to gold alongside teammates Mason Smith, Nick Gentleman and Peter Parsons.

The team has also been named to Team Canada for the Goalball World Championships in Hangzhou, China from June 6–16. With four Nova Scotians on the roster, two-thirds of Team Canada’s six-player team has roots right here in NS.

Their journey began years ago through connections made at APSEA, with Peter coaching them from the start. Congratulations to the entire team and best of luck at Worlds!

Earlier this month, a group of young learners who are blind or low vision and their families gathered at the Maritime Conservatory of Performing Arts in Halifax for an Early Learning Music and Movement session.

Through sound, rhythm, movement and tactile exploration, they experienced music in engaging and meaningful ways while building connections and having fun together. Thank you to everyone who joined us for this wonderful morning of learning, exploration and community!
