Nova Scotia Association of Police Boards March 2, 2015 Attention: RCMP Police Advisory Boards in Nova Scotia On January 15, 2015 the members of the Nova Scotia Association of Police Governance (NSAPG) met with representatives from the RCMP Advisory Boards in Halifax to put together a plan for the Advisory Boards to have membership in the NSAPG. This initiative is strongly supported by the Nova Scotia Department of Justice as this will give all policing boards’ one voice when dealing with the Department and the Minister of Justice. Your support of the goals and objectives of the NSAPG will be greatly appreciated. The challenges & complexity of policing in Nova Scotia continues and the NSAPG will continue to promote municipal policing in its’ dealings with the Nova Scotia Chiefs of Police Association and the Minister of Justice. We hope that our membership in the Canadian Association of Police Governance, and our liaison with other Public Safety organizations will allow us to champion the views of Municipal Police Boards and Advisory Boards in Nova Scotia and gain valuable information that we can pass on to our member Boards. Other benefits of joining the NSAPG include the annual conference in September that we hold in conjunction with the Nova Scotia Chiefs of Police Association. This allows for networking with many departments across the province. We hope you will consider joining the NSAPG as we move forward. Your membership form is included. Yours in policing, Councillor Lisa Emery Vice President, NSAPG March 2, 2015 Description of Service Rate Amount Due Annual NSAPG Membership $200.00 $200.00 Fee September 1, 2014 – August 31,2015 Please make cheque payable to “Nova Scotia Association of Police Governance” and forward it to the following address: NSAPB, c/o Mr. Pat Cappello, 45 Exhibition Drive Bridgewater NS B4V 0A6 NOTICE REGARDING BYLAWSAND DUES: 1. At Present we have made room for 1 RCMP Advisory Board member to join our board. When we receive membership from Advisory Boards we can let the PABs decide who will represent them for the rest of this year. 2. In September there will be the conference in Truro where changes can be made to bylaws during the AGM at the end of the conference. Changes will include how many members of the PABs will be part of the main NSAPG board representing all PABs in the province. 3. We are looking at using the UNSM Regions that were approved by the UNSM Board on February 3, 2012 to divide the province into districts that will have one PAB representative sit on the main NSAPG board. 4. During the last year’s AGM it was decided to bring the PABs into the NSAPG and have them pay dues of $200 a year. It is also being considered to raise that to $400 a year at the beginning of the 2015-16 term in September. This too can and will be discussed during the AGM in September 2015. Only one member from each area can vote on these possible changes. 5. Proposed changes to the bylaws must be in by June 30th of each year to be distributed before the annual AGM and discussed and voted on during the AGM in September. OTHER NOTES: This year the September Conference will be held in September in the Town of Truro. Upon receipt of membership more information will be sent out to you. We also have information on how to join the national board (CAPG) as well and that can be sent upon request. Finally, thank you for your patience. It has taken a while to pull all the information together and sort out how to move forward. We are looking at hosting a meeting with the NSAPG and all Advisory Boards again sometime in early May. We will get back to you with a date, time and location. Yours in Policing, Councillor Lisa Emery VP and Secretary NSAPG SPECIAL BOARD MEETING AGENDA January 15th, 2015 WESTIN HOTEL, HALIFAX NS BEDFORD ROOM 9:00 am TO 12:00 pm 1.

Chief’s wanted provincial standards for their protection. There are too many different guidelines to follow especially regarding taser usages. d) RCMP Reps on NSAPG At present there are 10 representatives one from each municipality with a municipal police force. At present we are looking for one representative from the Advisory Boards as per the Bylaws. This can be changed with an email vote by the NSAPG. There was discussion on perhaps having three RCMP representatives on the NSAPG representing the regions of ( SWNova, NENova and the CBRM) Right now Mike Moreash represents both Municipal Police and RCMP for HRM.

New Business a) Shared Services (Pat Power on the phone from Annapolis Royal) Tabled. b) Justice Appointees: Fred Sanford, There is no way to speed up the process. All appointments have to go through and be approved by the Executive Council.

The notice for these appointments goes into the Chronical Herald along with other government appointments to boards. There are police background checks done as well. You can get posters from Fred Sanford regarding Justice Appointments to display at Town Halls. These people do not submit reports to Justice and if you have trouble with attendance from a provincial appointee contact Fred Sanford. c) MOU: Nola Folker-Hill, This was a document signed by the Towns and the DOJ. All parties including the Chiefs, Boards and Advisory Boards would have to be in agreement in order to change the MOU. This document would have to be sent to Chiefs and brought to RCMP Advisory Boards for consensus for the NSAPG to bring this discussion to the Minister as a single voice. Issue: If a town removes police personnel to lower than the force size in 2009 they will lose their seconded officers one for one. Also need feedback from the UNSM and the AMA.

  • Tim Houston, CPA MLA Pictou East Leader, PC Party of Nova Scotia
    Tim Houston, CPA MLA Pictou East Leader, PC Party of Nova Scotia Hon. Premier McNeil One Government Place 1713 Barrington Street Halifax, N.S. B3J 2A4 May 21, 2020 Dear Hon. Premier, During the COVID-19 update on Tuesday, May 19 you indicated that consultations with business organizations were nearing an end and that you intended to announce a reopening strategy imminently. As noted in my correspondence of April 17, I remain ready to work with government and with businesses, in both rural and urban Nova Scotia to ensure a safe and successful reopening of our province. The experiences of other provinces can be instructive in ensuring that businesses and other workplaces are safe, and that Nova Scotians understand the rules and responsibilities associated with safely patronizing businesses. One thing has become clear: precise and detailed information is key. A stumbling block in nearly every other jurisdiction has been the availability and accessibility of personal protective equipment (PPE) that is necessary to keep workplaces and customers safe. As noted in our letters dated March 23, April 17 and April 21, we are happy to work with you to source PPE and ensure there is an adequate supply. As you develop Nova Scotia’s reopening plan, we in the PC Caucus urge you to include the following measures: • Provide greater clarity on the protocols, rules and timelines for reopening businesses of all types; • Provide and advertise a single platform for those seeking information on reopening, instead of expecting them to potentially visit multiple sites with conflicting information; and • Create a central information hub for Nova Scotia small businesses to locate PPE and other protective equipment that meets standards laid out by Dr.

This year’s Provincial Volunteer Awards is being broadcasted via Facebook Live, to showcase the abundance of shared compassion and talent in our province. These selfless volunteers deserve to be recognized and celebrated, while being considerate of the current global state and the ultimate health and safety of award recipients and guests. In addition to the Province’s traditional volunteer program, the event is expanding for this year to include recognition of all communities for their part in coming together during the past 6 months. The ceremony includes Lieutenant Governor’s annual Community Spirit Award and the introduction of a new specialty award, the Nova Scotia Strong Award. This new award recognizes an individual or group of individuals who volunteer their talents for the greater good in times of hardship or crisis. This new award will be presented annually during The Provincial Volunteer Awards, making it the third speciality award at the annual celebration. Lieutenant Governor’s Message Dear Friends, As Her Majesty’s representative in Nova Scotia, it is my great pleasure to bring you greetings on the occasion of the Celebrating Community Spirit and Volunteers Awards. For the past six months Nova Scotia, our nation and indeed the whole world has been shaken by the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact.
