LED Light Exchange Program
The Village of New Minas in partnership with Nova Scotia Power is offering for every two sets of lights you bring , you'll receive one free set of LED Lights on Dec 7, 6:45 pm, at the New Minas Civic Centre. LED Bulbs, last 10 times longer than traditional bulbs, produce very little heat, reducing the risk of fire and contain no glass and are durable and safe.
