HALIFAX - A public backlash has forced the Halifax Transit authority to scrap plans for a Valentine s Day contest it called Love in Transit.
The Bray Endeavour community awards were presented to worthy winners last Friday, with broadcaster Declan Meehan named as this year s Person of the Year .
Unable to do the usual gala dinner event, the committee had to change the way things were done and decided to bring the awards to the winners, arriving to surprise them. And surprise them they did, delivering the wishes of the over 5,000 people who voted this year.
This was the second Feel Good Friday of the year, with the business awards having been presented in October.
The Bray Endeavour Awards have been presented by Bray Chamber of Commerce since 1981 to honour and recognise the wonderful achievements and successes in business and the community in the town of Bray.
