Kate's role at the DDBC is to find creative ways to promote and tell the story of downtown Dartmouth.  She oversees all of the DDBC’s communications, marketing and media relations.

Shawn Parker is our Street Navigator in downtown Dartmouth. As you can see from Shawn’s incredible smile that he’s a genuine person with a gift for helping others. Shawn spends his days reaching out to homeless and street-involved folks in our community. He says listening is his number one job, then connecting folks to what they need, moving obstacles out of the way when necessary. He says the biggest challenging in his work these days is finding people places to live – access to affordable housing is a crisis in HRM.
