From Backyard Beginnings to Breaking Records, Bowen Taylor is Throwing Far - The Sport Section The 14-year-old from Chaswood, near Middle Musquodoboit, is a thrower with the Truro Lions Track and Field Club.

The Halifax YWCA’s LiftUp program wasn’t created with a big splash, dramatic launch or lots of fanfare. But as Quinn Anderson, a youth support worker with the Halifax YWCA, noted, it didn’t need to be.

Quinn reached out to North Endurance, a gym in Halifax which had already been doing more inclusive programming to support the 2SLGBTQIA+ community, and the LiftUp collaboration was soon born.
