Enos Collins

Hello little one! Enos Collins was someone very important in Canadian history. He was a rich man who lived a long time ago, in the 1700s and 1800s. He lived in Halifax, which is a city in Nova Scotia, Canada.

Enos Collins was a businessman, which means he made money by buying and selling things. He began his business by selling fish, but then he became very successful and started doing many other things, like shipping, trading, and banking.

Enos Collins was also generous and kind-hearted. He gave a lot of money away to help people in need, like poor families and people who were sick. He even gave money to build a hospital in Halifax so people could get better when they were sick.

Many people today still talk about Enos Collins and remember him as someone who worked hard to become successful, but never forgot to be kind to others.
