Founded in 1978, HRDA is a subsidiary of the Human Resources Development Association of Halifax and is a not-for-profit association than has been providing employment for disadvantaged persons for over 25 years. HRDA Enterprises in Halifax, partnering with the HRDA, has worked to build profitable businesses and trained people from welfare rolls to take jobs in those businesses at higher wages than welfare would provide them. The company operates Stone Hearth Bakery, Cunard Centre (which provides academic upgrading) and an Options Work Activity. With help from the provincial government HRDA Enterprises has been awarded a five-year contract for collection of recyclables in Halifax Regional Municipality (HRM). The initiative will sustain jobs for 27 staff.
