What is Every One Every Day?  

Every One Every Day is a really ambitious program launched by the Mi’kmaw Native Friendship Centre, in partnership with Participatory City and Participatory Canada. The Mi’kmaw Native Friendship Centre is a registered nonprofit organization (charity No. 11903 9899 RR0001). The registered address is 209-2021 Brunswick St, Halifax, NS B3K 2Y5. 

Every One Every Day works to build neighborhoods for everyone, with everyone. Halifax North is a vibrant place to live and work. Our ambition is to make it easier for neighbours to spend time together, doing practical and useful everyday things we all enjoy.  

What information do we collect? 

During your participation in the EOED program, we may collect, store, and use the following kinds of personal information about you:  

  • Contact information: this includes the information that you provided when you registered for the EOED project (i.e., name, surname, email, phone number, address, postcode). 

  • Diversity Data: we may ask you to fill in a diversity survey with information about your age, ancestry, and gender identity. This allows us to make sure we are reaching everyone in the North End. You do not have to provide this information to participate. 

  • Frequency and type of interaction: the number of times you have participated, how you have interacted with our team; such as visiting our EOED shop, calling or emailing the EOED team, attending any events and projects we have organized and hosted through the EOED program. We keep daily notes of the type and level of involvement all participants have with the project. This is to allow us to tailor the project to meet the needs of the participants. 

  • Interviews, surveys and workshops: we may ask you if you would like to participate in any interviews, workshops and surveys during your participation in the EOED program. The questions asked through the interviews will focus on your EOED experience, and the potential impact it has had on your personal development regarding the following aspects of your life: education, employment, community perception, environmental action, mental and physical health. You do not have to take part in this, and we will ask for your permission before we collect any further data unless you have already given consent. 

Why do we collect information about you? 

  • Communication and updates: we collect your contact information to send relevant communication regarding events we are hosting. If you have agreed to be contacted, then we will use the channel you have agreed to, i.e., by email, phone call or similar technology. If at any time you no longer wish to receive any communication, please let us know and we will not contact you further, unless there is a legal obligation to do so. 

  • Making the EOED initiative work for you: the aim of the EOED program is to make it work for the residents and families of Halifax North. This means we will request your feedback. We will produce quarterly developmental evaluation reports to help shape the project as it unfolds. 

  • Evaluation on benefits of participation: Evaluation is an important component of EOED. If you agree to be part of our evaluation, we would like to ask you questions about how the EOED program has benefited you in your daily life. We will invite you to participate in occasional informal interviews, group discussions, and surveys. Your answers to these surveys will be anonymized. You can withdraw your consent from the project at any time.  

How, and by whom is your personal information collected? Who has access to it? 

Employees of Every One Every Day Kjipuktuk-Halifax, might collect your personal information as mentioned above (see ‘Under what information do we collect?’). Further personal information shared specifically through interviews, workshops, and surveys will be collected and accessible to the employees of EOED. Interviews and workshops might be audio recorded for later use. In such a case, audio recordings will be transcribed, and data will be anonymized.  

In what ways do we publish and share your data? 

Evaluation outcomes will be published through quarterly and annual reports. These reports can be accessed in our shop or online. The reports will not include personal information. We might share personal data with other academic or research organizations if you have provided consent for this purpose. We will list any organizations who will receive any data prior to collecting it.
