Atlantic Provinces Form Travel Bubble FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE June 24, 2020 – Newfoundland and Labrador Premier Dwight Ball, chair of the Council of Atlantic Premiers, was joined by New Brunswick Premier Blaine Higgs, Prince Edward Island Premier Dennis King, and Nova Scotia Premier Stephen McNeil today in committing to ease travel restrictions in Atlantic Canada as COVID-19 case numbers remain low in each province. Interprovincial travel without the requirement to self-isolate will be permitted in Newfoundland and Labrador, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island and Nova Scotia, for residents of Atlantic Canada as of July 3, 2020. Visitors from other Canadian provinces and territories must adhere to the local entry requirements in place in each of the four jurisdictions. Other Canadian visitors to the Maritime provinces that have self-isolated for 14 days may travel within the Maritime region. Premiers noted that the decision to ease travel restrictions in the region was guided by the Chief Medical Officers of Health in each province and will continue to be closely monitored. All public health directives present in each province must be adhered to, including not traveling if you have any symptoms of COVID-19 and practicing physical distancing and good hand hygiene. Each province will choose their own processes to track and monitor travelers. Premiers remain committed to working together to support economic and social recovery while ensuring the health and safety of all residents. - 30 - For further information, please contact: Erin Sulley, Office of the Premier, Newfoundland and Labrador, 709-729-3960 Nicolle Carlin, Office of the Premier, New Brunswick, 506-453-7494 Kristina Shannon, Office of the Premier, Nova Scotia, 902-221-3719 Amanda Hamel, Office of the Premier, Prince Edward Island, 902-368-4400 .

An Overview of Residential Long Term Care in New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Prince Edward Island
An Overview of Residential Long Term Care in New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Prince Edward Island June 2017 Janice Keefe, Lauren MacEachern, Pamela Fancey Nova Scotia Centre on Aging Mount Saint Vincent University Halifax, Nova Scotia B3M 2J6 Contact: [email protected] 1 Introduction This document provides an overview of residential long term care in the provinces of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island. It was prepared as part of the Advice Seeking Networks in Long Term Care project (2014-2017), Atlantic Canada site, to assist with the analysis and interpretation of findings from the surveys and interviews with seniors leaders in the long term care sectors in these respective provinces. Information on the long term care systems reflects the situation as of 2014-15, the time of the study’s data collection. Background The formal structure of Canada’s long term care sector is complex and varies across provinces and territories. This is largely attributed to the lack of federal jurisdiction for this care setting, unlike care provided in a hospital or other acute care setting. This document speaks to the landscape of residential long-term care in Canada’s Maritime provinces and factors that may contribute to the organization and advice-seeking behavior within the respective provincial long- term care systems. Located on the eastern coast of Canada, the Maritimes consist of three provinces: New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Prince Edward Island. While the Maritime provinces are often considered as a collective entity, the organization and delivery of long-care term services falls under provincial jurisdiction, leading to differences across each system.

Myths and Realities About Official Languages in New Brunswick
Myths and Realities about Official Languages in New Brunswick When it comes to official languages, myths abound. One example: All government jobs require bilingualism. False. Why should we be concerned about these myths? Because they distort the purpose of the Official Languages Act. Because they compromise mutual understanding between our two communities. Because they call into question what is at the heart of New Brunswick’s identity: the equality of our two official languages and the equality of our two linguistic communities. That is why it is important to set the record straight. Here are some of the myths about official languages, along with the facts. Myth 1 Myth 3 The primary objective of the Official Languages Act is The bilingual requirement for some positions that all citizens be bilingual. discriminates against unilingual people. Reality Reality Official bilingualism means that public bodies must Consider the following scenario: A hospital is recruiting provide their services to the public in both English and a specialized nurse. The job offer specifies that French. This obligation applies to public bodies, not to applicants must have a Master’s degree. A person with individual citizens. Therefore, official bilingualism allows only a Bachelor of Nursing degree decides to apply, citizens to remain unilingual and receive public services but the application is turned down. Is the hospital in the official language of their choice. discriminating by rejecting this application? No. This candidate simply does not have the educational requirement for the job. Myth 2 Official bilingualism prevents unilingual Anglophones To respect citizens’ rights to receive services in from obtaining government jobs.

11 French Outside New Brunswick and Quebec Raymond Mougeon
11 French outside New Brunswick and Quebec Raymond Mougeon INTRODUCTION In this chapter I will examine various measures of the vitality of the francophone minorities living outside Quebec and New Brunswick. These will include information on the availability of French-medium schooling and other kinds of institutional support for French, and statistics on the French mother-tongue population - e.g., retention of French at home, use of French in other domains of society, bilingualism in English, birth rate, rate of linguistic reproduction, etc. This examination will lead to an assessment of the chances of short- and longer-term survival of these francophone communities. BRIEF HISTORY The presence of about 750, 000 French-speaking Canadians outside New Brunswick and Quebec can be traced back to two distinct sources. East of New Brunswick, in the provinces of Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island, the great majority of francophones are of Acadian ancestry. In the province of Newfoundland, francophones who reside on the island are mostly of Acadian ancestry1, while those in Labrador are chiefly of Québécois ancestry or are Quebec-born. Before being deported by Britain in 1755, Acadians had expanded beyond their original colony in Port- Royal, Nova Scotia (a settlement dating from 1605) to various regions of the Atlantic provinces (e.g., eastern New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island and Cape Breton). A few decades after deportation, a significant number of Acadians were allowed to come back to the Atlantic provinces, where they joined the few who had escaped deportation, and settled in several regions of these provinces. Nearly all of today's Acadian population located east of New Brunswick is the result of this process of resettlement.

COVID-19 Nova Scotia-New Brunswick Travel Protocol
COVID-19 Protocol for Nova Scotia-New Brunswick Travel Under the Authority of the Chief Medical Officer of Health Last Revised August 23, 2021 1.0 Introduction This protocol is for people who live in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick and who must travel between these provinces frequently or for certain situations. While most of our self-isolation requirements and exemptions/exceptions apply generally to travel from New Brunswick, we recognize that many people need to travel between Nova Scotia and New Brunswick on a regular basis or for certain situations. This protocol aims to balance that need with measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Everyone must follow the Public Health Order issued by the Chief Medical Officer of Health. It requires people traveling from outside Nova Scotia to complete the Nova Scotia Safe Check-in form and self-isolate for 14 days upon arrival in Nova Scotia, unless they have an exemption under the Public Health Order or an exception granted for a specific purpose. This guidance in this document is based on the latest available scientific evidence about this emerging disease and may change as new information becomes available. The Public Health Agency of Canada posts regular updates and related documents. 2.0 Exemptions for self-isolation There are some exemptions to the self-isolation requirement in the Public Health Order to address scenarios that are specific to travel between Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. People traveling for the reasons outlined in this section do not need to complete the Nova Scotia Safe Check-in form.
