The Municipal Plan, which applies to the entirety of the Town’s defined Planning Area (and which corresponds to Municipal boundaries), outlines Council’s policies for overall land use development, for provision of community amenities, and for watershed and environmental protection. This Plan update replaces the Town’s former Municipal Plan that was adopted and registered in 1996. The primary intent of the Municipal Plan policies is to encourage and to work towards a healthy, safe, economically prosperous, and a more complete and sustainable community, where opportunities for appropriate growth and expansion, and supporting municipal services, can be provided within the financial capabilities of the Town, within the realm of the NL Urban and Rural Planning Act (2000), and in conformity with the St. John’s Urban Region Regional Plan (1976). The Municipal Plan, and its companion Generalized Future Land Use Map, provide for future growth and physical improvement of the Town by identifying the designated locations and the specified manner in which varied types of land use development are to occur. The Plan additionally serves as the basis for preparation of

PHILIP’S MEMORY MUG UP Edited by Dale Jarvis, Terra Barrett, & the students of FOLK 6740: Public Folklore Heritage Foundation of Newfoundland and Labrador Intangible Cultural Heritage Office St. John’s, NL, Canada Layout / design by Jessie Meyer 2017 ntroduction I BY DALE JARVIS In February of 2017, I headed off to Portugal Cove-St. Philip’s with three carloads of graduate folklore students enrolled in FOLK 6740: Public Folklore at Memorial University. We were heading there to host a Memory Mug Up, organized with the help of Julie Pomeroy, the town's Heritage Programs and Services Coordinator. A Memory Mug Up is an informal story sharing session for seniors, where people gather, have a cup of tea, and share memories. The goal of the program is to help participants share and preserve their stories. Julie had spoken to the class before the event, talking about the town’s work to conserve its tangible and intangible heritage. She was interested in information about place names, cemeteries, names of local ponds, fishing history and families, a 1978 plane crash, Bell Island connections, and ghost stories. On that first meeting, we sat around with cups of coffee Background: Student Marissa and tea, studied maps of the Farahbod talks with Diane Morris. Foreground: Students Cassandra community, and shared stories Colman and Ema Kirbirkstis talk about all those things and more.

  • Recent Newfoundland Bird Records
    RECENT NEWFOUNDLAND BIRD RECORDS LESLIE M. Tu½•c Ax.T_UOUG_UPeters and Burleigh (1951) embodiedthe results of 304 field days from 1937 to 1947 and an exhaustive search of the literature in The birds of Newfoundland,it was inevitable that additional field work would changethe known statusof many speciesin that island, and that extralimital species,especially from Europe, would continue to appear. This paper includesnotes on 51 bird species,three of them recentlyin- troducedto the island. Of 37 recordedfor the first time, four are new records for continental North America. In my capacityas ornithologistwith the CanadianWildlife Service,I have traveledwidely in Newfoundlandsince 1950; also a number of per- sonshave provided me with' carefully documentedaccounts of the birds of their areas. Spacedoes not permit me to name all the many contribu- tors who have reportedbirds to me or donated specimens,but outstand- ing are Melvin McNeill, St. Anthony; Henrik Deichmann, Badger; Mrs. H. J. Reid, Ramea; Harold Horwood and James Inder, St. John's. W. Earl Godfrey kindly reviewedan early draft of this manuscript. Cattle Egret (Bubulcus ibis ibis).--An immature came aboard the trawler Blue Foam on the Newfoundland Grand Banks 31 October 1952, and later died. It was presentedto the National Museum of Canada and was the secondspecimen for North America (Godfrey, 1954; Peterson, 1954), although the speciesis now believed to have arrived in Florida somewhat earlier. I have examined an adult shot at St. Anthony 27 October 1964, and mounted by Robert Best. Little Egret (Egretta garzetta garzetta).--An adult female was shot at Flatrock, ConceptionBay, 8 May 1954 by Robert Emerson.

  • Past and Future Sea-Level Change in Newfoundland and Labrador: Guidelines for Policy and Planning
    Current Research (2010) Newfoundland and Labrador Department of Natural Resources Geological Survey, Report 10-1, pages 129-141 PAST AND FUTURE SEA-LEVEL CHANGE IN NEWFOUNDLAND AND LABRADOR: GUIDELINES FOR POLICY AND PLANNING M. Batterson and D. Liverman* Geochemistry, Geophysics and Terrain Sciences * Geological Survey ABSTRACT Understanding the direction and magnitude of future sea-level change is important in creating policy and planning meas- ures for development in the coastal zone. To determine guidelines for the province, local trends in sea level are estimated by reviewing tide gauge records, salt marsh research and other indicators of past sea-level changes. These local trends are com- bined with estimates of future global sea-level change to provide predictions of likely changes in the sea level for the province. Estimates of sea-level change leading up to 2050 and 2100 are provided for four zones covering the province. If these prove accurate, areas of the province prone to coastal flooding and erosion will be severely impacted over the next century. Many areas expected to flood with a 1:100-year recurrence interval at current sea level will likely flood once every twenty years or more frequently. INTRODUCTION notably Placentia, Cox’s Cove and Stephenville Crossing (Department of Environment and Conservation; Newfoundland and Labrador has 17 540 km of coast- http://www.env.gov.nl.ca/env/Env/waterres/ HydMod/ line, and over 90% of its inhabitants live close to the sea Flooding.asp).
