Who I Am

EVYENEIA FOR EVERYONE

I have lived in the North End of Halifax for 22 years. where I ran a successful small business and am raising my ​family. I am passionate about my community and giving back. Over the years with my business on Agricola St. I ​served on the board of the North End Business Association for 5 years , One as co-chair. I have supported ​emerging artists from our community and from Veith House with a free space to show their work .

I have fundraised for Adsum House as well as providing the women and residents with haircuts for over 15 years.

As a first-generation Canadian I understand the importance of diverse, welcoming, and safe ​communities where everyone has the opportunity to connect, grow and thrive. I believe that a vibrant ​community embraces a mix of people, culture and small business, and that municipal government ​must play a key role to ensure our neighbourhoods are developing responsibly, sustainably and with ​peoples’ needs and interests at the heart of every decision. This means development must care as ​much about historic communities as it does about the needs of new people coming to the North End.

As Councillor for District 8, I will bring my experience as a listener, my decisiveness as a leader, my compassion ​for people and my entrepreneurial spirit to the challenges we face as a community.

On October 19th, choose Evyeneia Dexter as your Councillor for District 8.

Needham Community Rec ​Center

A vital part of our community that

needs to be replaced

• Serves as a daycare , pool , gym and ​day camp, used by our youngest ​residents to our seniors
• Recommended back in 2011 and was ​supposed to have started in 2023 it ​has now been pushed back yet again.
  
• I will be a strong voice to ensure this ​doesn’t get delayed again.

Testimonials:

“I met Evyeneia 22 years ago when she first opened her ​business. Over those decades I have seen how she has fully ​committed to her community - running a business that also ​cared deeply for and supported that community. From ​finding innovative ways for her clients to support our most ​marginalized neighbours to actively engaging in ​strengthening the North End business community, to ​putting her money where he mouth is and doing her part to ​support vibrant community initiatives, it was inspiring to ​see her work first hand. I’m proud to call her a friend and I ​am so excited that she has raised her hand to run.”

“Adsum for Women & Children is tremendously grateful to Evyeneia Dexter ​and Foxy Moon Salon for your dedication of time and funds to support our ​work in the community for women, gender-diverse people and families. For ​15 years Evyeneia has provided regular haircut services to people living in ​Adsum House emergency shelter, The Alders and at Adsum Court. This ​service helped people have a basic need they could not otherwise afford, ​and gave them the ability to feel better about themselves and know people ​cared about their well-being.. Foxy Moon and Evyeneia also did regular ​fundraising drives with their customers to raise money for our programs and ​services. We thank you for raising awareness with your customers and staff ​about Adsum and the needs of clients we serve.”
