  • Placenaming on Cape Breton Island 381 a Different View from The
    Placenaming on Cape Breton Island A different view from the sea: placenaming on Cape Breton Island William Davey Cape Breton University Sydney NS Canada [email protected] ABSTRACT : George Story’s paper A view from the sea: Newfoundland place-naming suggests that there are other, complementary methods of collection and analysis than those used by his colleague E. R. Seary. Story examines the wealth of material found in travel accounts and the knowledge of fishers. This paper takes a different view from the sea as it considers the development of Cape Breton placenames using cartographic evidence from several influential historic maps from 1632 to 1878. The paper’s focus is on the shift names that were first given to water and coastal features and later shifted to designate settlements. As the seasonal fishing stations became permanent settlements, these new communities retained the names originally given to water and coastal features, so, for example, Glace Bay names a town and bay. By the 1870s, shift names account for a little more than 80% of the community names recorded on the Cape Breton county maps in the Atlas of the Maritime Provinces . Other patterns of naming also reflect a view from the sea. Landmarks and boundary markers appear on early maps and are consistently repeated, and perimeter naming occurs along the seacoasts, lakes, and rivers. This view from the sea is a distinctive quality of the island’s names. Keywords: Canada, Cape Breton, historical cartography, island toponymy, placenames © 2016 – Institute of Island Studies, University of Prince Edward Island, Canada Introduction George Story’s paper The view from the sea: Newfoundland place-naming “suggests other complementary methods of collection and analysis” (1990, p.

  • Narrative of the Emigration from Wales to New Brunswick, Describing in Detail Both the Voyage and the Emigrants
    BOOK REVIEWS 205 narrative of the emigration from Wales to New Brunswick, describing in detail both the voyage and the emigrants. Documents such as "Cin Sef" which describe events from the people's point of view are both rare and important. Despite their humble appearance, they deserve to be collected by the principal archives of all countries shaped by migration in recent centuries. Strangersfrom a Secret Land powerfully emphasizes the importance of history, and of the memories and documents which enable us to know the past. Thomas encountered reluctance among a few members of the Welsh community to share their knowledge with him; knowledge of the past is not easily obtained nor is it simply a piece of paper to be pinned on the wall. Historians have no monopoly on their subject so it is appropriate that a professor of literature, himself an emigrant, should in this book so effectively illustrate that history is our "inner territory, the soul of the tribe." Marianne McLean National Archives of Canada Cape Breton At 200: Historical Essays in Honour of the Island's Bicentennial. KENNETH DONOVAN, ed. Sydney, Nova Scotia: University College of Cape Breton Press, 1985. 261 p. ISBN 0-920336-34-5 This collection of ten essays on various aspects of Cape Breton's social and economic development commemorates the bicentennial of the creation of Cape Breton as a separate crown colony in 1785. The fourth collection of historical essays on Cape Breton to appear in the last two decades, this is by far the most ambitious. Unlike earlier collections, none of the essays have been published previously and only a few of the contributors have written elsewhere on similar topics.

  • (WSER) – Registry of Transitional Authorizations
    Wastewater Systems Effluent Regulations (WSER) – Registry of Transitional Authorizations Owners or operators of a wastewater system subject to the WSER and not designed to achieve the national effluent quality standards had until June 30, 2014 to apply for a Transitional Authorization. A Transitional Authorization establishes the conditions under which such systems may continue to operate and sets the deadline (end of 2020, 2030 or 2040) to meet the mandatory national effluent quality standards. The deadline for upgrading a given wastewater system depends on the level of risk associated with the wastewater effluent and the sensitivity of the receiving environment. The following is the list of Transitional Authorizations issued under the provisions of the WSER. Copies of authorizations are available upon request at Email: ec.eaux-usees- [email protected] 1 Table 1: Transitional Authorizations with End Date of December 31, 2020 Province City Owner Wastewater System British Columbia Ahousaht Ahousaht First Nation Ahousaht Pump Station British Columbia Gingolx Gingolx Village Government Gingolx Lift Station British Columbia Tofino District of Tofino First Street Comminutor British Columbia Victoria Capital Regional District Clover Point Pump Station British Columbia Victoria Capital Regional District Macaulay Point Pump Station Greater Vancouver Sewerage and British Columbia West Vancouver Drainage District Lions Gate Wastewater Treatment Plant Manitoba Thompson City of Thompson Thompson Sewage Treatment Plant Greater Moncton Wastewater

  • Local Government in the Cape Breton Coal Towns, 1917-1926*
    Company Town/Labour Town: Local Government in the Cape Breton Coal Towns, 1917-1926* by David FRANK** In the early years of the twentieth century the northeast coast of Cape Breton Island was a booming industrial frontier. The coal and steel in­ dustries of this district played a large part in the Canadian economy, and in Cape Breton County they created the most dynamic industrial com­ munity in the Maritime Provinces. Although the roots of industry reached back to the 1820s, unprecedented growth took place from the 1890s to the 1910s. The population of the coal district more than tripled and by 1921 included more than 40,000 people. The newly-arrived Dominion Coal and Nova Scotia Steel and Coal Companies built steel plants, opened collieries, created new settlements and expanded old ones. 1 The influence of the coal companies on the life of the coal industry was pervasive. It was often echoed in local place-names. Communities such as Dominion and Dominion No. 6 were named for the collieries of the Dominion Coal Company. In New Waterford streets were named in honour of company directors J. H. Plummer, Sir Henry Pellatt and E. R. Wood. Most importantly, the coal companies enjoyed great economic power in the mining district. As the only important employers in the coal towns, they dominated the local labour market. In Glace Bay in 1930 the Dominion Coal Company employed two-thirds of the male work force. Furthermore, as the owners of company stores and company houses, the coal companies were also powerful merchants and landlords.

  • Community Spirit Award Nomination
    Community Spirit Award Nomination Port Morien Names of Groups within the community who have joined together to put forward this nomination: 1. Port Morien Development Association 2. Branch 055, Royal Canadian Legion, Port Morien 3. Port Morien Volunteer Fire Department 4. Homeville Women’s Institute 5. Port Morien Community Fair Introduction In October of 2007, a number of volunteers representing various community organizations, under the initiative and sponsorship of the Port Morien Development Association, gathered together to prepare a proposal for consideration for the Lieutenant-Governor’s Community Spirit Award. After a number of meetings and exchanges of emails, we decided on the following format. We begin with a brief history and introduction to our community, and then take you on a journey entitled “A Year in Our Village”. We begin in the winter and take you through four seasons. We will introduce you to community activities and initiatives, and in doing so, give examples of how the community meets and exceeds the criteria for consideration for the award. In order to maintain a flow for the reader, we have decided not to outline the criteria as they are met. We believe that the identification of the criteria is inherent in our presentation. The last section is simply entitled “Our Stories”. We wish to highlight six stories that we feel indicate that our village identifies the essential criteria of uniqueness, citizen participation, community pride, and an enduring community. Who We Are But blood and bone of Morien Unfaithful cannot be So in their dreams they wander back To where she meets the sea.
