Harbourstone Enhanced Care<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joy filled the air for the first-ever Ms. Harbourstone 2025 pageant at Harbourstone Enhanced Care in Sydney, N.S. Twenty residents took to the stage, competing in evening wear, talent and interview categories. The evening was full of laughter, applause, and heartwarming moments. Ruby Melnick was crowned Grand Supreme Winner, earning the title of Ms. Harbourstone 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The event was a true community effort. Team members donated dresses, did hair and makeup, and cheered on contestants every step of the way. Youth volunteers added extra sparkle, helping participants on the runway and presenting crowns and sashes. Even the judging panel was a team affair, featuring the Harbourstone maintenance crew and special guest Neil, the elevator technician, proving that when a community comes together, something truly magical happens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
