At this time, we would like to reiterate the need for Doppler radar coverage of Yarmouth, Shelburne and Digby Counties' waters due to the significant importance to our fishing industry, residents, visitors, Emergency Measures Operations and potential offshore developments. The addition of a Doppler radar system in Southwest Nova Scotia, that would work in conjunction with the existing radars, would provide much needed coverage and a much more reliable and dependable weather warning and reporting system. The importance of, and the ability to depend upon, a reliable, locally based, weather forecasting system and accurate radar information is essential. Municipality of Shelburne respectfully requests your support and assistance in advocating for the residents of Southwest Nova Scotia in seeking the placement of a radar system that can provide needed coverage and much more reliable and dependable weather warning and reporting systems for our fishers, residents, emergency providers, visiting boating enthusiasts, as well as other livelihoods using our waters. rking with you on this vital initiative.

We chose to direct the funds toward the cost of professional measurement of the marathon course as a requirement to maintain the status of this event as a Boston Marathon qualifying race. This week we will be presenting the Yarmouth Hospital Foundation with over $6000 that is earmarked for Renal Dialysis patient needs. Since 2011 the Yarmouth Marathon has raised over $50,000 to support the needs of people in our community receiving kidney dialysis treatments. Again, thank you so very much for your support.
