LIFTing Lunenburg County

WHERE DO WE FIND WHAT
WHAT WE HAVE
Most respondents said they could get groceries, take-out and dine-in food, building supplies, outdoor
recreation, and auto repair in their home communities, although less than half say they shop for
clothing in their home communities.
WHAT WE ROUTINELY LEAVE LUNENBURG COUNTY FOR
® concerts, dinner theatres, performances
® better prices and selection for clothing, major appliances and building supplies
® doctors and medical specialists
® niche stores (ethnic foods, outdoor stores, clothing and shoes, furniture)
® niche services (guitar repair)
The County’s proximity to Halifax, in fact, came up as an asset for residents in many interviews.
However, most still wished they could experience more arts and culture and find a wider variety of
independent, unique, specialty stores closer to home.
CHILDREN AND YOUTH
Children’s activities are very low on the
list of prevalence in the graph on the
next page, and while this partly stems
from the fact that only 35 people in the
sample live with children or teenagers,
the results still point to a lack of
options (structured activities,
places to hang out) for children in the
county.
