COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIP PROGRAM
We are formally committed to donating the equivalent of 5% or more of our time through pro-bono services.
As part of that commitment, Truefaux Films has established an annual Community Partnership Program
whereby we select a partner non-profit organization in the Dartmouth-Halifax community
to provide pro-bono digital storytelling services.

2021 Community Partner Projects
Bike Again Halifax
|
Bike Again Halifax is a DIY Community bike workshop. They provide the space, tools, and some know-how, and you do the work.
Bike Again aims to get more people on bikes, promote cycling, increase bike literacy, and build a stronger cycling community. Since the summer of 2000 –through thousands of volunteer hours– Bike Again has repaired and loaned over 1000 bikes. The space provides a common ground for people of different ethnic backgrounds and socio-economic status to participate in something fun and rewarding. Many people become dedicated volunteers or participate in our group or critical mass bike rides. Bike Again relies on small funding grants and donations from the community. Donations can be in the form of bikes and bike parts, tools and supplies, food, and monetary donations. Bike Again Halifax is an Ecology Action Centre Transportation community project. |

Special Olympics
John is an avid speed skater, so when the Dartmouth Crossing Special Olympics Learn to Skate and Speed Skating Programs coach asked if we could make them a promo video, naturally we said yes!
Back to the Sea Society
Back to the Sea Society sparks curiosity for local marine life off the coast of Nova Scotia while fostering the desire to protect our ocean in people young and old.
We created a series of social media clips to help build awareness of Back to the Sea Society's ultimate goal: to open a small-scale, seasonal aquarium in Greater Halifax. Nourish Nova Scotia
Nourish Nova Scotia helps Nova Scotia schools support students to be healthy learners so they can reach their potential in the classroom and in life.
We crafted a promo video for their annual farm-to-school fundraiser Nourish Your Roots to help schools support their own healthy eating programs and initiatives. A win-win-win for farmers, schools and families! Municipal Councillor Sam Austin
Sam Austin is the Councillor for Dartmouth Centre. This is the second of two spots we produced for Sam. The first introduced him to his constituents, and the second we released the day e-voting opened. In 24 hours it had 4,000 views. By the time polls closed it had been viewed over 15,000 times. In a district where 7,500 people voted, that's pretty good.
