The Municipality of Shelburne would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to The Emerald Light for the important role they played in our Grad Breakfasts this week.

For the past two years, The Emerald Light has generously assisted us by helping to order the eggs and bacon and by cooking the bacon for our breakfasts. Their support helps make these special events possible and ensures our graduates start their celebration day with a great meal.

Community events like our Grad Breakfasts are successful because of partnerships and collaboration, and we are incredibly grateful for organizations and businesses that step up to lend a hand.

Thank you, The Emerald Light, for your continued support of our graduates and our community. Your contribution is greatly appreciated!

Today is our 4th birthday! 🎂 To celebrate, we’re sharing our episode of Down Home by Eastlink TV 📺

This episode was shot nearly 2 years ago. Some of you may have already caught it when it originally aired on Eastlink’s television channel, but it has only recently made its way onto Youtube. So, this may be a first view for most of you. 👀

I’m incredibly proud of this episode and extremely grateful to have had this opportunity not just to showcase this restaurant but, as you’ll see, I also got to name-drop and put a spotlight on Shelburne and many of its successful people and attractions. 💚

In this episode you’ll hear a lot about how this restaurant came to be, the passions that drive it forward, the true story behind naming The Emerald Light, and plenty of moments hyping up a postive future for our community. 💭

Special thanks to Herb Locke for hopping on the episode and sharing his perspective and community spirit! 🤝

Thank you all for these first 4 years. While I have your attention, if I could make one birthday wish I would ask everyone to consider bringing a first time guest to our local museums Shelburne's Museums by the Sea and Black Loyalist Heritage Centre. Although they weren’t mentioned by name in this episode, the work being done at these attractions are essential to the foundation of what makes Shelburne a land of opportunity and they deserve so much attention. 🙌

To many more, 🥂

Today is our last day of Jonathan before he moves on to conquer Cape Breton. 🥲 As much as we’ll miss him, those sitting at the bar will no longer be wondering if our kitchen is on fire. 👨‍🍳 👨‍🚒
