article and photos by Jan Napier BLAZING THE TRAIL IN NOVA SCOTIA In Canada’s second ook up, way up, because Glooscap is a giant in Atlantic Canada’s Mi’kmaq culture. This almighty being was of such gargantuan proportions that the smallest province, a province of Nova Scotia was his bed and Prince Edward Island his pillow. larger-than-life demigod, Ancient legends of the mythical creator live on, and there’s no better place Lto explore them than the spectacular Glooscap Trail in northwestern Nova Scotia. over-the-top scenery and The trail stretches 227 miles, all told, but our itinerary focuses on a 125-mile the world’s highest tides segment between Truro and Joggins. It’s a laid-back, mostly coastal drive, beloved by those in the know. set the stage for RV The Mi’kmaq (pronounced Meeg-mah), an indigenous people native to travels on a grand scale Canada’s Maritime Provinces and the Gaspé Peninsula of Quebec, once lived freely in this region. Silas Tertius Rand, a Baptist missionary who traveled among the Mi’kmaq in the mid- to late-1800s, documented their stories featuring the heroic Glooscap. He “lived like other men ... but he never died, never was sick, never grew old,” wrote Rand. “He could do anything and everything.” Traveling RVers can learn more about Mi’kmaq myths and culture, and stand — dwarfed — beneath the demigod’s towering bronze likeness, at the Glooscap Heritage Centre, less than 5 miles from Truro in Millbrook. If you’re lucky, Climb Five Islands Lighthouse Program Director Gordon Pictou or a heritage interpreter will be on hand to for panoramic views of the Bay of Fundy, Minas Basin and the share some of the Mi’kmaq creation stories, like the one about Five Islands. -

Field Trips Guide Book for Photographers Revised 2008 a Publication of the Northern Virginia Alliance of Camera Clubs
Field Trips Guide Book for Photographers Revised 2008 A publication of the Northern Virginia Alliance of Camera Clubs Copyright 2008. All rights reserved. May not be reproduced or copied in any manner whatsoever. 1 Preface This field trips guide book has been written by Dave Carter and Ed Funk of the Northern Virginia Photographic Society, NVPS. Both are experienced and successful field trip organizers. Joseph Miller, NVPS, coordinated the printing and production of this guide book. In our view, field trips can provide an excellent opportunity for camera club members to find new subject matter to photograph, and perhaps even more important, to share with others the love of making pictures. Photography, after all, should be enjoyable. The pleasant experience of an outing together with other photographers in a picturesque setting can be stimulating as well as educational. It is difficullt to consistently arrange successful field trips, particularly if the club's membership is small. We hope this guide book will allow camera club members to become more active and involved in field trip activities. There are four camera clubs that make up the Northern Virginia Alliance of Camera Clubs McLean, Manassas-Warrenton, Northern Virginia and Vienna. All of these clubs are located within 45 minutes or less from each other. It is hoped that each club will be receptive to working together to plan and conduct field trip activities. There is an enormous amount of work to properly arrange and organize many field trips, and we encourage the field trips coordinator at each club to maintain close contact with the coordinators at the other clubs in the Alliance and to invite members of other clubs to join in the field trip. -

Tourism Background the Nova Scotia Tourism Agency State in Their Document ‘A Tourism Strategy for Nova Scotia’ the ‘Tourism Is a $2 Billion Industry in Nova Scotia
Plan Review Background Paper Background Paper Number: 10 Planning & Development Department Date: March 2015 Tourism Background The Nova Scotia Tourism Agency state in their document ‘A Tourism Strategy for Nova Scotia’ the ‘Tourism is a $2 billion industry in Nova Scotia. It provides 24,000 jobs that support families in every region of the province.’ Tourism is a vital contributor to the economy in all parts of the province including East Hants. Tourism has some tremendous potential to stimulate economic development in East Hants. This is especially true in our rural communities which, like similar areas across the country, are facing challenges which threaten their very survival. Tourism often is the last remaining business opportunity which can hold our rural communities together and help ensure sustainability. In 2009 the Municipality developed a Tourism Strategy which explores ways to encourage and support a healthy tourism sector. It is anticipated that in 2015/16 the Municipality will review the Tourism Strategy. That strategy will take account of the Economic Development Strategy currently being prepared by Lionsgate. East Hants has been blessed with many natural tourism assets and we have some unique world class attractions and all of these assets and attractions creates a draw for visitors. The tourism strategy was developed to use the key or premier attractions, especially the more unique ones, to create niche and broader market draws for the municipal wide tourism product. The premier tourism attractions have been grouped as follows: 1. Tidal Bore Rafting 2. The Bay of Fundy Experience 3. Festivals & Special Events 4. Heritage and Culture Attractions Public Consultation Responses Question 12 of the Community Goals Survey asked ‘is it important to control development to ensure the tourism potential of scenic areas?’ A strong majority of respondents (82.2%) agreed that it is important to control development to ensure the tourism potential of scenic areas, with 11% of respondents indicating that they don’t know. -
