The 150 Books of Influence Project Committee recognizes the support of the Province of Nova Scotia. We are pleased to work in partnership with the Department of Communities, Culture and Heritage to develop and promote our cultural resources for all Nova Scotians. Final publication date November 2017. Books are our finest calling card to the world. The stories they share travel far and wide, and contribute greatly to our global presence. Books have the power to profoundly express the complex and rich cultural life that makes Nova Scotia a place people want to visit, live, work and play. This year, the 150th Anniversary of Confederation provided Public Libraries across the province with a unique opportunity to involve Nova Scotians in a celebration of our literary heritage. The value of public engagement in the 150 Books of Influence project is demonstrated by the astonishing breadth and quality of titles listed within. The booklist showcases the diversity and creativity of authors, both past and present, who have called Nova Scotia home.

    DISCUSSION PAPER Socioeconomic Analysis Of Designating Wilderness Areas DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENT PROVINCE OF NOVA SCOTIA PROJECT NO. 1038026 REPORT NO. 1038026 REPORT TO Protected Areas Branch Environmental & Natural Areas Management Division Department of Environment 5151 Terminal Road Halifax, NS B3J 2P8 ON Socioeconomic Analysis of Designating Wilderness Areas within the Blue Mountain- Birch Cove Lakes, Ship Harbour Long Lake and Shelburne River Crown Parcels December 4, 2008 Jacques Whitford 3 Spectacle Lake Drive Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, B3B 1W8 Phone: 902-468-7777 Fax: 902-468-9009 www.jacqueswhitford.com EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The planning, designation, and management of Nova Scotia’s Wilderness Areas (WAs) are the responsibility of the Department of Environment (NSE). This may be done in partnership with other agencies and through agreements with non-government organizations. In 1998, 31 areas were designated under the Wilderness Areas Protection Act (1998, c.27, amended 2005, c.56, s.18) (the Act). Two additional areas, Gully Lake and Eigg Mountain-James River WAs, were designated in 2005. In total, the 33 WAs protect approximately 295,400 hectares (ha), which represents approximately 5.3% of the land area of Nova Scotia. When all categories of legally protected land are considered, approximately 8.2% of Nova Scotia is protected. The Environmental Goals and Sustainability Act (2007, c.7) focuses on the health of the environment, economy, and people of Nova Scotia. The legislation’s major objective is for Nova Scotia to have one of the cleanest, most sustainable environments while achieving economic prosperity equal to or greater than the national average (Government of Nova Scotia 2008).

    Phase 1 - Bay of Fundy, Nova Scotia including the Fundy Tidal Energy Demonstration Project Site Mi’kmaq Ecological Knowledge Study Membertou Geomatics Consultants August, 2009 M.E.K.S. Project Team Jason Googoo, Project Manager Rosalie Francis, Project Advisor Dave Moore, Author and Research Craig Hodder, Author and GIS Technician Andrea Moore, Research and Database Assistant Katy McEwan, MEKS Interviewer Mary Ellen Googoo, MEKS Interviewer Lawrence Wells Sr., MEKS traditionalist Prepared by: Reviewed by: ___________________ ____________________ Dave Moore, Author Jason Googoo, Manager i Executive Summary This Mi’kmaq Ecological Knowledge Study, also commonly referred to as MEKS or a TEKS, was developed by Membertou Geomatics Consultants for the Nova Scotia Department of Energy and Minas Basin Pulp and Power Co Ltd on behalf of the Fundy Ocean Research Centre for Energy (FORCE). In January 2008, the Province of Nova Scotia announced that Minas Basin Pulp and Power Co Ltd. had been awarded the opportunity to construct a tidal energy testing and research facility in the Minas Basin, known as the Fundy Tidal Energy Demonstration Facility. This Facility will be managed by a non-profit corporation called FORCE. The objectives of this study are twofold; - to undertake a broad MEKS study for the Bay of Fundy Phase I Area as it may relate to future renewable energy projects i.e. wind, tidal and wave, specifically in Phase 1 area of the Bay of Fundy ( as identified in MGC Proposal - Minas Channel and Minas Basin), and - to undertake a more focused MEKS review specific to the Fundy Tidal Energy Demonstration Project area which would consider the land and water area potentially affected by the project, identify what is the Mi’kmaq traditional use activity that has or is currently taking place within the Project Site and Study Area and what Mi’kmaq ecological knowledge presently exists in regards to the Project Site and Study Area.

  • Draft Management Plan for Tobeatic Wilderness Area

    Draft Management Plan for Tobeatic Wilderness Area

    Tobeatic Wilderness Area Draft Management Plan April, 2004 Draft Management Plan Tobeatic Wilderness Area Draft Management Plan Tobeatic Wilderness Area Minister’s Message Welcome to the Tobeatic Management Planning Exercise. Your participation in this project is important, as we work together to develop a Management Plan for one of Nova Scotia’s most outstanding wild places - Tobeatic Wilderness Area. Nova Scotia Environment and Labour is proud to lead the protection and management of Tobeatic Wilderness Area. Wilderness Areas are cornerstones in defining our province’s character and in securing our unique wilderness heritage today, and for future generations. In this Draft Management Plan, we recognize the ecological integrity and unique wilderness heritage of Tobeatic Wilderness Area, and strive to improve stewardship through partnership, communication, and education. This document is the result of the hard work and creativity of many people, each with a unique background, interest, and expertise. In particular, I wish to acknowledge the dedicated volunteers that serve on the Tobeatic Advisory Group. Over the past two years this group has worked closely with the Department to provide valuable advice. This Draft Management Plan reflects much of the advice we received from this group. It also reflects the important public comment provided through the initial round of public consultation completed in autumn 2002. Together your input helps us to better plan and manage Tobeatic Wilderness Area. I encourage you to participate in this part of the public consultation, whether it be through attending one of our Open Houses, submitting a completed Worksheet, or learning more about Tobeatic Wilderness Area at a local library information display.
