Jest in Time began as the dream of co-founder, Sherry Lee Hunter; who after training in the United States with teacher/mentor Tony Montanaro, joined forces with MaryEllen MacLean and Christian Murray in 1983 to form the beginnings of Jest. In 1986 Shelley Wallace joined the group which became one of the most established troupes in Canada and the longest running physical theatre company in the province.
Over its twenty-year history, the group toured the world, including travel to Japan, Hong Kong, Australia, the United States (including Alaska) and just about every small town in Canada. Troupe members presented a refreshing style of physical theatre, which they then taught to others. Jest created numerous productions including The Best of Jest, Accidental Bloodlines (co-created and directed by Bryden MacDonald), Sleep Tracks, Love Bytes and Trip, as well as three television specials for CBC (Jest (Pop. 4), Jest in Time for Christmas and Jest in Time for Halloween).
In the fall of 2003, Jest in Time, quietly called it quits. Members of the group decided to pursue different artistic directions, and the time seemed right subsequent to the damage wreaked by Hurricane Juan on Jest's Halifax office.

James Edward Dickie, Esq., was a prominent businessman in Stewiake Village (Upper Stewiake), Colchester County, Nova Scotia. The second son of Isaac Patton Dickie and Rebecca Barnhill, he was born in 1832 in Onslow, Colchester County, and was sometimes referred to as Edward. Dickie briefly owned a store in Onslow with his older brother John Barnhill Dickie. The partnership dissolved around 1855 and James Dickie moved to Stewiacke Village in 1856, where he bought a general store from J.L. Walker. With his brothers-in-law, Frederick Tupper and George Fulton, he established J.E. Dickie and Company. Fulton left the company in the mid-1870s to purchase his own store.
James Dickie was active in his community. He was an elder in the Presbyterian Church, held a number of professional appointments and shares in local communities, and served as the Justice of the Peace for Colchester County. He married Harriet Tupper in 1859, with whom he had six children who lived to adulthood: Alfred, Alice, Henry, Edwin, Bessie and Laura. At one time or another all of the children assisted with the operation of the store, working as clerks and communicating with suppliers, customers and employees. Edwin, in particular, was very involved with the business and in 1890 the company was reformed as Messrs J.E. Dickie and Son to reflect this. James Dickie’s health declined shortly after and Edwin took over the business. James Dickie died in August of 1891.
Edwin Dickie began dealing under his own name as a wholesale and retail dealer and direct importer. A branch store at Brookfield, managed by Elijah Leard, was in operation by 1901. Edwin sold the business in 1907 to his cousin Hedley Fulton and settled in Vancouver. In 1924 James R. Fulton was operating the Dickies’ former store in Stewiacke.
