    The Rucksack Newsletter of the Friends of McNabs Island Society The Society is a registered charity: CCRA number 88847 4194 RR 0001 Volume Twenty Eight Issue Two 2019 McNabs Island Teahouse Transformed by Catherine McCarthy Finally, we have raised enough money to begin to transform the abandoned Island Teahouse into an Island Centre, which will become a focal point for outdoor education and community activities on the island. The location and character of the building has always been the appeal. Planted in the heart of the Hugonin-Perrin Victorian Gardens, this stone building overlooks Halifax Harbour and is not too far from Garrison Pier. John Jenkins, owner of the McNabs Island Ferry Company, built the Tea House in the 1980s. He salvaged stone from some of the nearby foundations to construct the Teahouse that operated as a café until 1994. The stone structure, which resembles a Scottish crofter’s cottage, has been empty for the past 25 years! Friends of McNabs Island volunteers have cleaned out the building, hauled away all the debris and now are ready to give this old building a new life. With the donated professional help of Harvey Architecture and BMR Structural Engineering, we have new plans for the building.

We are inspired by the bravery of our soldiers at Normandy and moved by the words of John McCrae’s "In Flanders Fields." We are amazed at the vision of Louis-Joseph Papineau and Sir Wilfrid Laurier. We are enchanted by the paintings of Emily Carr and the writings of Lucy Maud Montgomery. We look back in awe at the wisdom of Sir John A. Macdonald and Sir George-Étienne Cartier. We are moved to tears of joy by the humour of Stephen Leacock and tears of gratitude for the courage of Tecumseh. We hold in high regard the determination of Emily Murphy and Rev. Josiah Henson to overcome obstacles which stood in the way of their dreams. We give thanks for the work of the Victorian Order of Nurses and those who organ- ized the Underground Railroad. We think of those who suffered and died at Grosse Île in the dream of reaching a new home.

We’ve seen several very encouraging developments in the offshore and tidal sectors, and continue to strive for more development opportunities in our onshore sector. In an industry that is constantly evolving, it remains one of our goals as The Maritimes Energy Association to stay abreast of the constant changes and demands that the energy industry presents and how they affect our members. Looking forward to 2016, climate change will be a very important conversation with the new government of Canada, as well as with individual provinces. Our association plays an important role in the energy industry in Eastern Canada - it is the place that governments, investors, operators and producers are directed to by key stakeholders. We make our voice heard through our submissions on local energy projects and also share the voice of industry leaders and stakeholders through our various events and participation in international trade missions.
