Make It Here ... just like Tim, Fred and Jamie

Annapolis Digby is home to the New Ruralism, a sophisticated and globally connected community of creative entrepreneurs.

Yes, we have a wide variety of professionals who conduct their business on an international stage.  Many come as visitors, then fall in love — with the Bay of Fundy, with the people, with simply being able to see millions of stars in our brilliant night sky — and discover that ours is a supportive community where they can bring their businesses, their families and their ideas.

It's no secret that our beautiful environment fosters creativity.  However, the savvy entrepreneur quickly realizes how much sense it makes to operate from Annapolis Digby. We offer low overhead costs, a skilled workforce, and a safe and welcoming community.   With our visionary FUNDYweb Broadband fibre optic network, our entrepreneurs are connected to the world

But let’s get back to our people. It’s important to us to acknowledge their hard work, investment in, and promotion of Annapolis Digby.  And so, we invite you to check out our latest instalments in our video series, Make It Here.

Make It Here ... Just Like Tim Award winning filmmaker and writer, Tim Wilson, and his artist wife, Simone Sleeth Wilson, talk about their work and life in Bear River, Nova Scotia. This historic village on stilts is known for its artistic community, and is Canada's newest wine region. We invite you to find out more about Tim and Simone!
Make It Here ... Just Like Fred Shoemaker Fred Longtin and his team at Hand Made Shoes produce the most spectacular shoes for international stars of Broadway, opera, film and theatre, all from this magical workshop in the charming village of Granville Ferry.
Make It Here ... Just Like Jamie The first in our video series, this mini-doc features entrepreneur Jamie Lewis of Lewis Mouldings. A former resident of PEI (and avid golfer), Jamie took over the family business and settled in picturesque Weymouth, once the summer home of the Saks family — yes, the Saks of 5th Avenue in NYC!

Thanks also to Marc d’Entremont of Dude Seriously Productions for his great work on these projects.

Stay tuned for other mini-docs coming soon from Annapolis Digby!
