St. John's, NL A1E 4N1 (709)-757-7001 Message from the Premier Children’s Internet Safety On behalf of the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador, I congratulate the Royal Newfoundland Constabulary Association on the publication of its 22nd Annual Community Guide, entitled Children’s Internet Safety. Unfortunately, with increased popularity and use of social media among young people, cyber- violence is also on the rise. As a government, we are committed to working with educators, parents and students to combat cyber-violence and other forms of aggression and abuse against children. In fact, working with the other Atlantic provinces, the Government of Newfoundland Labrador has launched the Cybersafe Girl initiative (www.cybersafegirl.ca) which provides young girls, as well as parents and educators, with information on Internet safety. I commend the Royal Newfoundland Constabulary Association for their efforts in raising awareness of this issue. As a society, we must work together to eliminate violence and abuse of every kind so that all residents may live free of fear, intimidation and harm. Sincerely The Honourable Kathy Dunderdale Premier www.gov.nl.ca www.rnca.ca 1 St. John’s Metro CBN Clarenville 255 LeMarchant Road 266 Conception Bay Highway 221 Memorial Drive St. John’s Bay Roberts Clarenville (709) 738-5454 (709) 786-8677 (709) 433-3063 1-800-563-1588 1-800-563-7880 1-855-433-3063 Burin Peninsula Gander Corner Brook 104-106 Ville Marie Drive 92 Elizabeth Drive 50 Main Street Marystown Gander Corner Brook (709) 279-5151 (709) 651-0050 (709) 634-0685 1-877-679-5151 1-877-654-0050 1-800-217-1050 www.compassionhomecare.ca “Safety, Dignity and Quality of Life” 1-800-563-1588 www.rnca.ca 2 PRESIDENT’Sm e s s a g e It is my pleasure to once again present members of the community with The Royal Newfoundland Constabulary Association’s 22nd Annual Community Guide.

I would like to thank these supporters for their assistance in bringing prevalent issues to the attention of our community. This year’s Community Guide pays focus to Children’s Internet Safety. This is a particularly significant topic for society today as the use of technology has increased significantly. The Internet has many educational and worthwhile uses: however, it can also be a source of danger for youth. It is crucial that we remain diligent in ensuring children’s safety while online and discuss the possible dangers of technology with them.

  • In Collaboration with CSTM/SCTM
    FEREN CON CE PROGRAM laboration with CSTM/ In col SCTM IC TM 2011 WE’RE PROUD TO WELCOME THE 41ST WORLD CONFERENCE OF ICTM to Memorial University and to St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador. This is a unique corner of Canada, the only part that was once an independent country and then the newest Canadian province (since 1949) but one of the oldest meeting points for natives and new- comers in North America. With four Aboriginal cultures (Inuit, Innu, Mi’kmaq, Métis); deep French, English, Irish, and Scottish roots; and a rapidly diversifying contemporary society, our citizens have shared a dramatic history, including a tsunami, an occupation during WWII, a fragile dependence on the sea including a cod moratorium in recent decades, a key role in the events of 9/11, and more recently, an oil boom. Its nickname – The Rock – tells a lot about its spectacular geography but also about its resilient culture. Traditional music and dance are key ingredients in life here, as we hope you will learn in the week ahead. Our meetings will take place at Memorial University, shown in the foreground of the photo below, and in the Arts & Culture Centre just to the west of the campus. To celebrate the conference themes in music itself, and to bring the public in contact with the remarkable range of scholars and musicians in our midst, we have organized the SOUNDshift Festival to run concurrently with the World Conference of ICTM. Five concerts, open to delegates and the general public, workshops by ICTM members and musicians featured on the concerts, and films are available as part of this festival.

  • Kittiwake/Gander-New-Wes-Valley Region
    Regional Profile of the Kittiwake Region May 2013 Prepared by: Janelle Skeard, Jen Daniels, Ryan Gibson and Kelly Vodden Department of Geography, Memorial University Introduction The Kittiwake/Gander – New-Wes-Valley region is located on the north eastern coast of the Island portion of Newfoundland and Labrador. This region is delineated by the Regional Economic Development Zone (Kittiwake) and the provincial Rural Secretariat region (Gander – New-Wes -Valley) (Figure 1), which have closely overlapping jurisdictions. The region consists of approximately 119 communities, spanning west to Lewisporte, east to Charlottetown, and north to Fogo Island (see Figure 1). Most of these communities are located in coastal areas and are considered to be rural in nature. Only six communities within the region have a population of over 2,000, with Gander being the largest community and the primary service centre for the Kittiwake region. Approximately 20 percent of the regional population resides in the Town of Gander (Rural Secretariat, 2013). The region also encompasses three inhabited islands that are accessible only by ferry: Fogo Island, Change Islands, and St. Brendan's (KEDC, 2007, p.2). Figure 1. Map of Kittiwake/Gander-New-Wes-Valley Region Figure 1: Gander – New-Wes Valley (Map Credit: C. Conway 2008) Regional Profile of the Kittiwake Region Page 2 of 14 Brief History The region’s history is vast. Many of its communities have their own diverse histories, which collectively paint a picture of the past. Aboriginal occupation is the first noted settlement in many parts of the region. Research suggests that 5,000 years ago, what we now call Bonavista Bay was inhabited by Aboriginal peoples who benefited from the region’s abundance of resources such as seal, salmon and caribou.

John's, NM. WATER POLLUTION AND FISH POPULATIONS in the PROVINCE OF NEWFOUNDLAND AND LABRADOR* by V. R. Taylor Department of Fisheries of Canada Newfoundland Area A (This review is based on a presentation to the Symposium on Pollution of Water, Air and Soil, sponsored by the Province of Newfoundland and Labrador, at St. John's, October 14, 1964). St. John's, Newfoundland January 25, 1965. WATER POLLUTION AND FISH POPULATIONS in the PROVINCE OF NEWFOUNDLAND AND LABRADOR by V. R. Taylor Department of Fisheries of Canada, Newfoundland Area Fish populations in the province of Newfoundland and Labrador, like those of many other areas, are being subjected to increasing adverse pressure due to water pollution caused by industrial and domestic wastes disposal programs. Freshwater areas are especially affected, though tidal areas are not immune. Technically, pollution is the addition to natural water of any substance that changes its quality. From the point of view of fish life, it is the addition of anything that lessens its ability to support normal fish populations; and although this review is concerned only with fish, it might be pointed out that a river that is so polluted that it can no longer support its norma] fish popu1ation, has implications far more serious than the fate of fish. As one author (Turing, 1952) has said "What do a few fish matter .••. Actually, they matter very much, not because people who want to catch them cannot do so, but because their absence means a very sick river •••• Water which is not fit for fish habitation is not fit for human needs either •••• " The foregoing quotation expresses the broader implications of water pollution.
