New Leaf Enterprises - Social Enterprise

New Leaf Enterprises - Social Enterprise We are a vibrant social enterprise that specializes in home decor, catering, & business services

New Leaf Enterprises was one of the first social enterprises in Nova Scotia. Our business centre includes a full kitchen operated by our staff and by our trainees. New Leaf offers catering services for businesses and organizations in the Halifax Regional Municipality area, and it allows trainees an opportunity to gain valuable work experience. Our dedicated and professional trainees run a cafeteri

a at the Nova Scotia Rehabilitation Centre, another at O’Regan’s Automotive Group dealership on Kempt Road and our very own New Leaf Café located at our Centre on Fielding Ave in Burnside. New Leaf Enterprises also offers direct mail processing services for several businesses, in addition to producing beautiful home décor products for retail sale. Services provided by New Leaf Enterprises also generate revenue, which is reinvested into our programs so we can help grow our capacity to help Nova Scotians with disabilities. Our Employment Support Program works with employers in the community and our clients to facilitate job training and subsequent employment within the labour market. This highly successful program for youth and adults has generated multiple employment partnerships both in the private business and government sectors. New Leaf Enterprises is a pillar program of Easter Seals Nova Scotia. Learn more about New Leaf and Easter Seals Nova Scotia at www.easterseals.ns.ca.

🇮🇹 Good food, great company, and a little taste of Italy! 🍋

What a wonderful evening at our very first Shared Table event!

Guests started the evening in the kitchen, rolling up their sleeves to prepare homemade focaccia with their toppings of choice and making delicious tiramisu before heading into the café for an evening full of laughter, learning, and incredible food.

From fresh pasta and warm focaccia to creamy tiramisu, every part of the evening was delicious. Along the way, we learned a little about Italy, shared stories, and enjoyed plenty of laughter and great conversation.

Thank you so much to Gretchen and Abi for hosting such a fun and welcoming evening for everyone.

We are grateful to everyone who joined us and helped make our first Shared Table such a success. Stay tuned for the next one… we can’t wait to gather again!
