I am extremely fortunate to have such a great team of Lions working with me this year. We are all hear to serve you. We are looking forward to working with our fellow Lions throughout the District and providing even more service within our communities. I am asking Lions to communicate often with your fellow Lions. Inform them of changes. Keep every single Lion in the loop because change is uncomfortable for people who don’t know what’s going on. Call meetings, send out memos and maintain a general openness with your members. I’m asking that you set goals with your team. Promote productivity and establish within your fellow Lions an interest in the organization’s future by meeting with them, setting SMART goals and brainstorming ways to achieve those goals. Call your fellow Lions to action. Encourage them to join in on the change so they can continue to be a strong part of the diverse future in Lions. Avoid scaring them but estab- lish a sense of urgency. We need to keep our Lions family in the fold. Understand what is expected of you, whether you are a member or a team leader, make others aware of your expectations. Learn something new about your fellow Lion. What motivates them? What do THEY want to change. Help them Be The Change. Lions, I am here to serve you. I look forward to seeing and hearing all the great things you are doing throughout the District.

The incoming Fundy tides are so significant that twice a day they temporarily reverse the flow of several rivers that typically flow into the Bay. When the tide and Salmon River collide, a wave (tidal bore) naturally forms and travels upriver around a predicted time. As the river fills up, the tidal bore eventually dissipates, and the river’s flow returns back towards the bay. This wonder of nature can be seen here! The time of the Tidal Bore can vary several minutes either way, depending on weather and conditions.

  • ORANGE LODGES of NOVA SCOTIA a Brief History of the Loyal Orange Association in Nova Scotia, Canada
    ORANGE LODGES OF NOVA SCOTIA A Brief History of the Loyal Orange Association in Nova Scotia, Canada By Brian McConnell Introduction It is difficult to find reading material about Orange Lodges in Nova Scotia. The historical geography of Canadian Orange Lodges by Cecil J. Houston and William J. Smyth entitled “The Sash Canada Wore” deals with all of Canada and therefore contains only a few details about Nova Scotia. There are some social and other studies which include material on Orange Lodges but they focus largely on Ontario or New Brunswick. The purpose of this article is to present an overview of the history of the Loyal Orange Association of Nova Scotia. It uses for its sources a number of Orange Lodge publications that are cited at the end of the article but the main one has been the annual reports of the Association that were published each year. These contain not only the business affairs of the Association but also information about the leaders and membership. For assistance in research and in motivation to prepare this article thanks are given to Jim Worthylake, Past Grand Master of the Grand Orange Lodge of Nova Scotia in 1978, and Attendee at many meetings of the Grand Orange Lodge of Canada as well as the Orange Council of the World. He was born in Truro, N.S and a member of the Orange Association for 77 years up to his death in 2004. Jim Worthylake - 77 years an Orangeman At end of Article are Appendices A, B, C, and D listing Past Grand Masters and Mistresses of Nova Scotia and names and locations of Orange Lodges in Nova Scotia .

Introduction and Scope EDP Consulting, in association with Market Research Associates (MRA), was retained by the Antigonish Regional Development Authority (ARDA) to undertake an investment attraction strategy study for the financial services and renewable energy and clean/green technologies sectors. These sectors were identified as potential investment attraction target sectors for the Antigonish area in a 2010 Investment Attraction Research Project undertaken for the ARDA. The primary focus of this current study is on the attraction of foreign direct investment (FDI) – new business investment and job creation in the Antigonish area by firms headquartered in foreign jurisdictions. However, it should be noted that much of the analysis and resulting recommendations in this study are also relevant for broader economic development in the Antigonish region such as asset and capacity building, investment readiness, investment attraction of domestic firms, and investment retention, expansion, and entrepreneurship.
