Active Transportation 101 Workshop Series Report Active Transportation 101 Workshop Series Report Submitted March 14, 2013 by the Ecology Action Centre Active Transportation 101 and its associated workshops were developed and offered through a partnership between the Ecology Action Centre and the Nova Scotia Department of Health and Wellness. Summary In Fall 2012 and Winter 2013, workshops were offered across the province to municipalities and communities based on the new resource Active Transportation 101: Bringing AT to Your Community and Developing an AT Plan (AT 101). The 1.5 to 3.5 hour workshops were meant to help increase knowledge about active transportation (AT) and increase the capacity of municipalities and communities to plan for and implement AT on the ground. A total of 13 workshops were held involving 203 participants from 35 municipal units. Workshop Goals and Objectives For all except for Yarmouth and Colchester, the workshops had similar goals and objectives as follows. Goal: To build support for and understanding about active transportation and show what’s possible Objectives: Increase participants’ knowledge of: o AT and its benefits o AT assets in their area o AT possibilities Inspire participants to support AT efforts locally Two workshops were unique: The Yarmouth workshop was a strategic planning session meant to help clarify the Yarmouth County AT Committee’s vision, goals and activities. The Colchester workshop was also a strategic planning session mean to help stakeholders plan out an approach to the active transportation social marketing project for which they recently received funding. 1 Workshop Series Overview There were 13 workshops held involving 203 participants from over 35 municipal units.

In some cases, this involved working with one individual, in other cases it involved working with several people or a committee to organize the event. EAC’s role was to provide: Workshop presentation and facilitation (can have workshop hosts help facilitate too if you like) Workshop materials Workshop promotional materials (poster, invitation, email/web write ups) The workshop host role was to provide: Workshop logistics such as booking the venue, providing food/beverages Workshop promotion: distribution of posters, invitations, email and web write ups, etc.) and registration of participants Promotion Promotion of the event locally was conducted by the local organizer with input from EAC on who to invite. It was suggested to local organizers to invite: municipal representatives: councillors and staff (including planning, recreation, police and others); businesses; RCMP; residents; cycling groups; walking and running groups; AT committee members; NSTIR and DHW local rep; trails groups; local doctors; principal or rep from school SAC; community health board; public health; and more. EAC provided media write ups including an invitation and various promotional pieces to with local media and social media. The Cumberland County invitation is attached and the Promotional Pieces document for Port Hawkesbury are included as examples. Some workshops were by invite only (such as Antigonish, Cumberland County, Yarmouth and Colchester). The remaining workshops were promoted to the public. Workshop Delivery Here is a sample agenda from the Cumberland County AT workshop in Amherst on December 12. Agendas and lengths of workshops varied from community, based on their need and readiness. 1:30: Introduction 1:40: Overview of AT (presentation) 2:10: Where We’re AT!

This is summarized in the Evaluation section below. Feedback as also collected on what further AT supports were needed to help communities move AT forward. This is summarized in the Feedback: Further AT Supports Needed section below.

  • The East Kemptville Tin Deposit, Yarmouth County, Southwestern Nova Scotia: a Lithogeochemical Study of the Wallrock Metasedimentary Rocks
    Atlantic Geol ogy 63 The East Kemptville tin deposit, Yarmouth County, southwestern Nova Scotia: a lithogeochemical study of the wallrock metasedimentary rocks Daniel J. Kontak Nova Scotia Department of Natural Resources, P.O. Box 698, Halifax, Nova Scotia B3J 2T9, Canada and Jarda Dostal Department of Geology, St. Mary’s University, Halifax, Nova Scotia B3H 3C3, Canada Date Received November 27,1991 Date Accepted March 2,1992 The results of a petrographic and lithogeochemical study of metasedimentary rocks (Lower Paleozoic Meguma Group) surrounding the northern part of the East Kemptville tin deposit, southwestern Nova Scotia are presented. The metasedimentary rocks, including interbedded psammites and pelites, are fine-grained and highly indurated. Pelitic horizons contain hornfelsic textures (i.e., <5 mm cordierite grains) near the granite; sparse veining includes some cassiterite and sulphides. Hydrothermal alteration is manifested by disseminated, fine-grained, secondary muscovite and/or muscovite and chlorite infilling and lining microfractures with bleached haloes and associated cassiterite, sulphides, tourmaline, fluorite and carbonate. The major and trace element chemistry, including the rare-earth elements, of the metasedimentary rocks are compared to different data bases that comprise: (1) averages for pelites and psammites of Phanerozic age, (2) nonmineralized Meguma Group rocks, and (3) fields in discriminant binary element diagrams. For most of the major and trace elements analyzed an apparently unaltered, normal chemistry is indicated, except for some LILE (e.g., Li, Rb, U) and ore-forming elements (e.g., Sn, Zn, Bi) where enrichment is considered to reflect infiltration of mineralizing fluids from the proximal granite/greisen of the main deposit area.

  • The Maritime Influence on the Municipal Flags of Atlantic Canada
    The Maritime Influence on the Municipal Flags of Atlantic Canada Rob Raeside Abstract Over one hundred municipal flags have been recorded from the four Atlantic provinces of eastern Canada. Recognising that not all communities in the Atlantic Provinces “face the sea”, an analysis was undertaken to determine the significance of the major categories of local enterprise, and from that the effect of these enterprises in the design of the flags. The analysis included elements from the arms or municipal seal commonly displayed on the flags. The analysis of these flags and the communities they represent reveals that the flags reflect the industries that dominate the economy of the municipalities, especially those that are coastal communities, chief among which are maritime enterprises. Flags of coastal communities overwhelmingly reflect maritime industries, especially in Newfoundland and Labrador, where coastal settlement is predominant, and flags featuring maritime symbols comprise 83% of the subset. The opposite extreme is in New Brunswick, where 41% of the communities “face the sea”, but less than half feature maritime symbols. Most of the maritime communities in New Brunswick are Acadian (French) in character and the majority have incorporated the Acadia Stella Maris (“Star of the Sea”). Canada Proceedings of the 24th International Congress of Vexillology, Washington, D.C., USA 1–5 August 2011 © 2011 North American Vexillological Association (www.nava.org) 899 The Maritime Influence on the Municipal Flags of Atlantic Canada Introduction Over the past three decades many communities across North America have adopted municipal flags. These new flags range widely in style, and include heraldic banners of arms, coats of arms on a simple field, elaborate multi-element designs, illustrations arising from flag- design contests, and stylistic representations.
