  • Mechanisms for Enhancing the Retirement Income System of Canada
    Province of Nova Scotia Department of Finance MECHANISMS FOR ENHANCING THE RETIREMENT INCOME SYSTEM IN CANADA The Government of Nova Scotia is working with other provinces and territories, and the Government of Canada, to consider opportunities for enhancing Canada’s retirement income system. The overall goal is to increase savings from employment income of individuals (i.e. future retirees) who are not currently saving enough to obtain sufficient levels of replacement income to maintain their standard of living in retirement. Finance Ministers have been informed by comprehensive research as well as proposals and comments submitted by numerous interest groups and individuals. Selective reports and research from various jurisdictions can be found at: http://www.gov.ns.ca/lwd/pensionreview/default.asp http://www.fin.gc.ca/activty/pubs/pension/riar-narr-eng.asp http://www.fin.gov.on.ca/en/consultations/pension/dec09report.html The Finance Ministers provided direction at their June 2010 meeting for continuing work in this area. They acknowledged the importance of financial literacy and the central role that the Canada Pension Plan (CPP) plays in our government supported retirement income system. Most Ministers have agreed to consider a modest, phased-in, and fully-funded enhancement to the CPP in order to increase coverage and adequacy. Ministers further agreed to continue to work on pension innovations that would allow financial institutions to offer broad based defined contribution pension plans to multiple employers, all employees, and to the self-employed. Results of further work on technical and implementation issues will be presented at the late Fall 2010 meeting.

  • Self-Isolation Requirements in Nova Scotia Revised September 8, 2021
    Self-isolation requirements in Nova Scotia Revised September 8, 2021 DOMESTIC TRAVELERS Self-isolation requirements are based on vaccination status and testing for anyone traveling from Canadian provinces and territories outside Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland and Labrador. This includes Nova Scotia residents returning to the province. Isolation requirements are as follows: • People who are fully vaccinated do not have to self-isolate but testing is still recommended. • People who are not fully vaccinated must self-isolate for at least 7 days and cannot leave isolation until they get 2 negative tests results. Fully vaccinated means you had two doses of a World Health Organization approved vaccine (or 1 dose of Janssen) at least 14 days before arriving in Nova Scotia. If you received your second dose of vaccine less than 14 days before arriving in Nova Scotia, it does not count toward your vaccination status. Children 18 and younger must follow the isolation requirements for the least vaccinated adult they are traveling with. If the child is more vaccinated than the adult they are traveling with, they should isolate based on their own vaccination status. Children 16 and older can have their own form using the vaccination information of the least vaccinated adult they are traveling with. Younger children should be included on the same form of the least vaccinated adult they are traveling with. Testing for the purposes of ending isolation earlier than 14 days must be done in Nova Scotia, not in advance of arrival. It cannot be a rapid test. It must be a standard PCR lab test which usually takes up to 72 hours to get results.

  • Guide to Acknowledging First Peoples & Traditional Territory
    Guide to Acknowledging First Peoples & Traditional Territory September 2017 CAUT Guide to Acknowledging First Peoples & Traditional Territory September 2017 The following document offers the Canadian Association of University Teachers (CAUT) recommended territorial acknowledgement for institutions where our members work, organized by province. While most of these campuses are included, the list will gradually become more complete as we learn more about specific traditional territories. When requested, we have also included acknowledgements for other post-secondary institutions as well. We wish to emphasize that this is a guide, not a script. We are recommending the acknowledgements that have been developed by local university-based Indigenous councils or advisory groups, where possible. In other places, where there are multiple territorial acknowledgements that exist for one area or the acknowledgements are contested, the multiple acknowledgements are provided.

We started the trip with 19 rigs but unfortunately lost one in Monc- ton, New Brunswick ,due to an accident. No one was seriously injured, but we had to continue on with only 18 rigs. Some of the highlights of this trip included the Bay of Fundy with 25-foot tides, the Royal Nova Scotia International Tattoo, rides on the Bluenose II and Amoeba sailing vessels, whale watching tours, and some of the most beautiful and breathtaking scenery in the world. Some of our group even took a day trip to Labrador, while others sailed out of St. Anthony, Newfoundland, to view icebergs and whales. We enjoyed many caravan-sponsored dinners with lots of lobster and other seafood. This was an amazing trip which was made even more enjoyable by the outstanding people who traveled with us. Many thanks to all who contributed time and effort to make this a truly memorable trip.

  • The Geography of the Maritime Colonies in 1800: Patterns and Questions1
    The Geography of the Maritime Colonies in 1800: Patterns and Questions1 Graeme Wynn Associate Professor of Geography The University of British Columbia To fully appreciate the importance of the New England (Planter) migrations into Nova Scotia during the 1760s, it is essential to consider them in context. By taking the broader view, we can better grasp the contribution that this relatively small group of settlers on the margins of colonial America made to the development of Nova Scotia; we can more fully appreciate the magnitude of their achievements in occupying the land, establishing societies, providing for themselves and their descend­ ants, and creating communities. We can begin to identify common and unique elements in their experience, and we can hope to focus attention on those aspects of the Planter past that seem to warrant further inquiry. To these ends, this paper is comprised of two parts. The first — "Patterns" — briefly surveys the human geography of the British "Maritime" colonies in 1800. It is no more than a sketch,2 but it provides a backdrop against which the "Questions" of the second part of the paper can be considered.3 PA TTERNS In 1800, approximately 75-80,000 people lived in the four British North American colonies of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Cape Breton and Prince Edward Island that would come to be called the Maritimes. Halifax, with one-fifth of Nova Scotia's population and Saint John, with a tenth of New Brunswick's were the only cities. Shelburne ranked third among the region's urban centres, but it was little bigger than Fredericton, a capital village of 120 to 150 houses, "scattered," according to the wife of a military officer, "on a delightful common of the richest sheep pasture I ever saw."4 Despite their administrative functions as capitals of Prince Edward Island and Cape Breton, Charlottetown and Sydney were tiny places, and 1 I gratefully acknowledge the permission granted by the Canadian Association of Geographers to reproduce the illustrations and some of the text of the first part of this paper.
