Portland Estates and Hills Residents' Association in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia
PEHRA
Welcome to Portland Estates and Portland Hills. We are a vibrant, active and diverse community situated in the heart of the Portland Valley in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. Starting in the early 1980’s, the community was built in stages by several developers, and now has a population approaching 6,000 people. For more than 20 years PEHRA (our residents’ association) has been very active in Portland Estates and Hills with a common goal to enhance the lives of those who live here.
COMMUNITY MESSAGE CENTRE
Thanks Bryan Davis, a PEHRA volunteer, for installing our new cork board on our Community Message Centre. Now much easier for residents to post their community notices … local events, sports and club registrations, yard sales, lost and found! A copy of our new Waterfowl Feeding guidelines has just been posted! Plastic pins are provided. PEHRA will monitor to make sure our sign remains in good condition. Our Community Message Centre was one of our PEHRA projects ….built in 2010 with the help of community donations and the cooperation of HRM! Keeping our our community connected! Enjoy and share!
Booking the Birches Park Gazebo
Booking the Gazebo
The public can use the Gazebo at any time but if someone wishes to plan and host a special event - like a family graduation or birthday gathering - we recommend they “book” the Gazebo with HRM. Please contact Tracy Murphy at HRM (murphyt@halifax.ca) for the permit. Once you have a permit, you can use the Gazebo exclusively for a period of time. Should anyone wish to use it at the same time, you can show them the permit for exclusive use.
