Hamm Premier of Nova Scotia The Government of Nova Scotia is proud to be a part of this annual publication that supports healthy lifestyles and the independence of Nova Scotia’s seniors. Every day thousands of seniors energize and strengthen their communities through volunteering their time, participating in programs, or sharing with a friend or loved one. This directory is full of valuable information on everything from seniors’ organizations to health and wellness activities, to transportation and housing contacts. All are meant to promote the value and participation of seniors in communities throughout our province. On behalf of all Nova Scotians, I would like to thank all seniors for making such tremendous contributions to our province. Sincerely, John Hamm 2 PROGRAMS FOR SENIORS A Message from The Honourable Angus MacIsaac Chairperson, Senior Citizens’ Secretariat In my role as Chairperson of the Senior Citizens’ Secretariat I have had the opportunity to witness and be impressed by the strong model of partnership that has been formed with seniors in Nova Scotia. Throughout the year the Secretariat consults and collaborates with seniors and seniors’ organizations on issues that matter to our aging population. I appreciate receiving your advice in identifying priority areas. I want to acknowledge the many seniors’ organizations that dedicate their time to supporting the interests of seniors. Your knowledge and feedback is invaluable. I hope our 16th edition of Programs for Seniors is of value to you. We are distributing 75,000 copies as well as posting it on the Secretariat’s website. Please feel free to call our staff at 1-800-670-0065 if you have additional questions.

    APRIL 2008 VOLUME 15 / NUMBER 2 $3 PM# 40064924 NOTE FROM THE CHAIR The MPWWA is committed to the improved operation of water and wastewater treatment plants through the better understanding of the design, construction and manage - ment of these facilities. Through the provision of regular “hands on” workshops and seminars, the association has enabled operators to upgrade their knowledge and has provided operators, especially those in smaller Maritime centres, with the opportunity to receive proper train - ing. The MPWWA encourages and facilitates an interchange of ideas between operators, professional and consultant engineers, contractors and other wastewater associations. In effect, the MPWWA provides an open forum for Atlantic Canada and has improved communications among operators, provincial govern - ments, industry and wastewater consultants across Newfoundland, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island. What training opportunities are on the way? We have our 28th annual training seminar planned for April 20 to 23. At the event, we will be touching on several new technologies and introducing some of the latest equipment that is being used in the treatment of water and wastewater. In the coming months, there are also the following workshops lined up: • Electrical workshops at PEI's Holland College, Module #1 (May 5 to 6) and Module #2 (May 7 to 8). • Fire hydrant and valves workshops this spring, date and place TBA. MPWWA's training committee will hold a meeting shortly after the April conference to plan the workshops for the coming year. Have an idea? Send it our way. Go to www.mpwwa.ca and Photo courtesy of HRM press the "Contact Us" link or forward your idea to your local Mayor Peter Kelly (left) thanks project manager Ted Tam and project director Brad Anguish for their hard work.
