Stepping in to a new home

For more than 30 years, Stepping Stone has been offering out reach and support to sex workers in Halifax and Dartmouth. And they've moved locations several times over the years. They're now hoping their new location will be a more permanent home. The Board of Directors and staff have announced the purchase of an office building in North End Dartmouth. The two-story on Primrose Street will be their permanent home soon and will allow them to expand their current programs and launch new initiatives. Alex MacDonnell is the Executive Director for the feminist, charitable, non-profit association that is the only one of its kind in the Maritimes. And she discussed the opportunities this new building will offer them. She also talks about how the pandemic has impacted sex work and how changing the laws would offer more protection for workers.
