Meet Our Team

Now Lunenburg County is a self-organized group of business and community leaders who have been meeting since 2014 in response to the Now or Never, Ivany Report. We participate as individual volunteers not as representatives of organizations, businesses or self-interest groups. Our team meets weekly, Wednesday mornings at 7:30 am.
We are an unstructured team and are committed to this new way of working together.

NOW LC has always held the intention of moving the conversation towards action. All of this work has culminated with the hiring of a full time Population Growth Coordinator, Tina Hennigar. The role of the Coordinator is to increase the population growth and promote Lunenburg County as a place where it's possible to create a life you love.  If you you have information or news to share with Tina, you can reach her at tina@nowlunenburgcounty.com or call her at 902-523-5725.

The release of the Ivany Report was a pivotal moment for me. I felt a real need to act and not wait for "someone else to do something" about creating a better future for Lunenburg County. ​

I'm excited to be working with people who are ready to ask the hard questions and to get things done. This is my home, where my business is and where I choose to live. I believe that the only thing standing in the way of our prosperity is ourselves. It's time to get out of our own way.

Mary-Ann Hiltz

I was drawn to the Now Lunenburg County Team as a result of this crazy idea they had in 2017 to drive across the country promoting Lunenburg County as a great place to live.  As a newer member of the Team I am energized by the way the team is looking at the issues that impact the economic and population growth and sustainability of Lunenburg County.  The team is focused on concrete actions that we can take together, as shared communities, to make life better for all of us who live in and love Lunenburg County.

I was drawn to this group as a unique collective that was already energetically creating a difference at a local-grass-roots level. Rather than analyzing or complaining about what might not be right, this organization endeavours to support dreams, visions and lifestyles in Lunenburg County. It’s a “can do” and “why not” spirit. I like that!! ​​

Meg Craig

With over 15 years of integrated marketing experience, Meg's career began in Toronto working with big brand names like PlayStation, Nestle, and Coca-Cola.
​Meg feels fortunate that she now gets to live her best life in a beautiful seaside town and continue to do work around the globe. To build a business and raise her family in a place that supports diversity and celebrates abundance - that’s her vision of success.
A quiet leader, Meg loves to coach and empower those around her, dig into creative challenges, and works best where the energy is humming. A passionate volunteer, you’ll often find Meg working hard behind the scenes to get things done.

Vicki MacDonald

Initially, I was intrigued by this groups work to bring awareness to the inequity that surrounds reliable, affordable access to internet service in Lunenburg County. Being an educator in Early Childhood Education, I share the Core values of NOW Lunenburg County and believe everyone should have equal and fair access to digital information, regardless of their demography or socioeconomic status.
