  • (PL-557) for NPA 879 to Overlay NPA
    Number: PL- 557 Date: 20 January 2021 From: Canadian Numbering Administrator (CNA) Subject: NPA 879 to Overlay NPA 709 (Newfoundland & Labrador, Canada) Related Previous Planning Letters: PL-503, PL-514, PL-521 _____________________________________________________________________ This Planning Letter supersedes all previous Planning Letters related to NPA Relief Planning for NPA 709 (Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada). In Telecom Decision CRTC 2021-13, dated 18 January 2021, Indefinite deferral of relief for area code 709 in Newfoundland and Labrador, the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) approved an NPA 709 Relief Planning Committee’s report which recommended the indefinite deferral of implementation of overlay area code 879 to provide relief to area code 709 until it re-enters the relief planning window. Accordingly, the relief date of 20 May 2022, which was identified in Planning Letter 521, has been postponed indefinitely. The relief method (Distributed Overlay) and new area code 879 will be implemented when relief is required. Background Information: In Telecom Decision CRTC 2017-35, dated 2 February 2017, the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) directed that relief for Newfoundland and Labrador area code 709 be provided through a Distributed Overlay using new area code 879. The new area code 879 has been assigned by the North American Numbering Plan Administrator (NANPA) and will be implemented as a Distributed Overlay over the geographic area of the province of Newfoundland and Labrador currently served by the 709 area code. The area code 709 consists of 211 Exchange Areas serving the province of Newfoundland and Labrador which includes the major communities of Corner Brook, Gander, Grand Falls, Happy Valley – Goose Bay, Labrador City – Wabush, Marystown and St.

  • Helpful Resources
    INTERVENTION Module 16: Helpful resources In this module: 24-hour emergency/crisis lines: Province-wide; Provincial resources; Regional Health Authorities; Women’s Policy Office - Violence Prevention Initiative and Regional Coordinating Committees against Violence; Helpful resources: Preventing violence against older persons; National resources; Federal government; My important contacts; and, Links: Internet resources. There are many resources in this province that may be helpful to you if you are: A service provider to older victims of violence; An older person who is a victim of violence; An older person at risk of violence; A perpetrator of violence; Someone with the potential to become violent; and, Concerned about someone in any of the above situations. In this module you will find resources that are available nationally, provincially and within your region or community. Since violence against older persons can take many forms, it is necessary to be able to call upon a range of resources. Availability of resources may depend on the community or region. Some programs may not be available or accessible in rural or remote regions of the province. There may be waiting lists for services. Suitable emergency housing may not be available. In these situations, advocacy becomes very important. PREVENTING VIOLENCE AGAINST OLDER PERSONS • education and training manual 193 It may help to learn about resources for victims of crime or family violence. Service providers and other helpers must know about these resources, and should be able to link older persons with needed services and programs. For more violence prevention information, please visit the Violence Prevention Initiative website, www.gov.nl.ca/vpi.

  • Lamaline Ada
    FINAL REPORT 5.0 HYDROGEOLOGY OF LAMALINE ADA 5.1 General Description of Area 5.1.1 Location, Extent & Access The Lamaline ADA is located along the south coast of the Burin Peninsula, comprising an area of approximately 15,504 hectares, and encompassing an approximately 3 km wide stretch of coast extending from the Beach Point area, approximately 6 km south of the community of Fortune, eastward to the community of Lawn. The boundary of the Lamaline ADA is shown on Drawing No. 1034406-5-1 in Appendix 5a. The Lamaline ADA overlaps the communities of Roundabout, Lord’s Cove, Taylor’s Bay, Point au Gaul, Lamaline, High Beach, Calmer, Point May, and Lories. The main access to the Lamaline ADA is provided by Highway Route 220, a paved provincial highway from Marystown to Fortune that connects communities along the south coast of the Burin Peninsula. In addition, various paved and graveled secondary roads also provide access to some areas within the ADA. 5.1.2 Physiography, Topography & Drainage The Lamaline ADA is located on the Burin Peninsula, which forms the southeastern extent of the physiographic region referred to as the Atlantic Uplands. This physiographic region is underlain by the remnants of an ancient peneplain that slopes in an easterly direction and is characterized by rugged bedrock-controlled ridges and northeast-southwest trending coastal bays and inlets. Locally, the Lamaline ADA occupies a low-lying, coastal area and is characterized by gently undulating to hummocky terrain that slopes southward to the coast and is bisected by small, north-south trending stream and river valleys that drain directly to the Atlantic Ocean.
