  • Micmac Migration to Western Newfoundland
    MICMAC MIGRATION TO WESTERN NEWFOUNDLAND DENNIS A. BARTELS Department of Anthropology Sir Wilfred Grenfell College Memorial University of Newfoundland Corner Brook, Newfoundland Canada, and OLAF UWE JANZEN Department of History Sir Wilfred Grenfell College Memorial University of Newfoundland Corner Brook, Newfoundland Canada, ABSTRACT / RESUME The Micmac of Cape Breton are known to have had a long history of seasonal contact with Newfoundland. It is generally accepted that they resided there permanently by the early 19th century. The authors review the available evidence and conclude that the permanent occupation of Newfoundland by the Micmac began in the 1760s. On sait que les Micmac de cap-Breton ont eu une longue histoire du contact saisonnier avec la Terre-Neuve. Il est généralement admis qu'ils y habitèrent en permanence au début du XIXe siècle. Les auteurs examinent l'évidence disponible et concluent que l'occupation permanente de la Terre-Neuve par les Micmac a commencé dans les années 1760. 72 Dennis A. Bartel/Olaf Uwe Janzen INTRODUCTION It is generally conceded that the Micmac of Cape Breton Island were a maritime-adapted people with sufficient seafaring skills to extend their territorial range as far into the Gulf of St. Lawrence as the Magdalen Islands and as far east as St. Pierre and Miquelon.1 By the eighteenth century, the Micmac were able to maintain a persistent presence in southern and southwestern Newfoundland. Some scholars have concluded from this that southwestern Newfoundland could have been a regular part of the territorial range of the Cape Breton Micmac since prehistoric times.2 In the absence of archaeological evidence to support such a conclusion, others, such as Marshall (1988) and Upton (1979:64) are unwilling to concede more than a seasonal exploitation of Newfoundland.

Much of the information now available about our province is aimed at young readers and people with at least a high school education. The Hitch-Hiker is intended to provide information which beginning adult readers can read and understand. This work has a special feature we hope readers will appreciate and enjoy. Many of the places written about in this book are seen through the eyes of an adult learner and other fictional characters. These characters were created to help add a touch of reality to the printed page. We hope the characters and the things they learn and talk about also give the reader a better understanding of our province.

    Number: PL- 557 Date: 20 January 2021 From: Canadian Numbering Administrator (CNA) Subject: NPA 879 to Overlay NPA 709 (Newfoundland & Labrador, Canada) Related Previous Planning Letters: PL-503, PL-514, PL-521 _____________________________________________________________________ This Planning Letter supersedes all previous Planning Letters related to NPA Relief Planning for NPA 709 (Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada). In Telecom Decision CRTC 2021-13, dated 18 January 2021, Indefinite deferral of relief for area code 709 in Newfoundland and Labrador, the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) approved an NPA 709 Relief Planning Committee’s report which recommended the indefinite deferral of implementation of overlay area code 879 to provide relief to area code 709 until it re-enters the relief planning window. Accordingly, the relief date of 20 May 2022, which was identified in Planning Letter 521, has been postponed indefinitely. The relief method (Distributed Overlay) and new area code 879 will be implemented when relief is required. Background Information: In Telecom Decision CRTC 2017-35, dated 2 February 2017, the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) directed that relief for Newfoundland and Labrador area code 709 be provided through a Distributed Overlay using new area code 879. The new area code 879 has been assigned by the North American Numbering Plan Administrator (NANPA) and will be implemented as a Distributed Overlay over the geographic area of the province of Newfoundland and Labrador currently served by the 709 area code.

Cat. No. V32-84/2005 ISBN 0-662-69036-2 Printed in Canada The Battle of the Gulf of St. Lawrence Generations of Canadians have served our country and the world during times of war, military conflict and peace. Through their courage and sacrifice, these men and women have helped to ensure that we live in freedom and peace, while also fostering freedom and peace around the world. The Canada Remembers Program promotes a greater understanding of these Canadians’ efforts and honours the sacrifices and achievements of those who have served and those who supported our country on the home front. The program engages Canadians through the following elements: national and international ceremonies and events including Veterans’ Week activities, youth learning opportunities, educational and public information materials (including on-line learning), the maintenance of international and national Government of Canada memorials and cemeteries (including 13 First World War battlefield memorials in France and Belgium), and the provision of funeral and burial services. Canada’s involvement in the First and Second World Wars, the Korean War, and Canada’s efforts during military operations and peace efforts has always been fuelled by a commitment to protect the rights of others and to foster peace and freedom. Many Canadians have died for these beliefs, and many others have dedicated their lives to these pursuits.

  • Regional Government Consultation Burin Peninsula Sept
    Regional Government Consultation Burin Peninsula Sept. 24th, 2011 Marystown, 8:30- 12:00 P.M. The meeting started with Robert Keenan, Community Cooperation Officer (CCO) with MNL, addressing the municipal officials. Mr. Keenan opened with a presentation on Regional Government and regionalization. In the first part of the presentation, he addressed the reasons for why MNL is examining regional government, and why they are examining it now. It was pointed out that these consultations are a follow-up to the three regional government discussion papers released by MNL in 2010 -- Continuities and Discontinuities, Searching for a Purpose, and The Umbrella of Protection. The CCO officer advanced MNL’s position that the current municipal structure needed to be reformed. The purpose of this much-needed reform would be to increase the efficiency, feasibility, and sustainability of municipalities, while protecting municipal autonomy. The CCO officer emphasized the need for reform at this time because municipalities need: • to become better organized; • to find ways to maintain and improve aging infrastructure; • to address the demographic difficulties that exist for many small towns; and • to account for the reduced financial and technical support available to municipalities from the provincial government. Mr. Keenan pointed out that neither the Provincial nor Federal Government has a plan for local government in Newfoundland and Labrador. Such a plan, however, is warranted, and municipalities ought to take the lead in putting forward ideas and suggestions to make them (municipalities) better and more sustainable. Mr. Keenan noted that municipal leaders are local leaders dealing with local problems. Further, it is local leaders, not Provincial government officials, who are better positioned to address the problems with the Province’s local government system.

  • CABOT's LANDFALL by C
    _J_ CABOT'S LANDFALL By C. B. FERGUSSON HILE the profound importance and the far-reaching consequences of the discovery of N ortb America by John Cabot in 1497 have long been realized, and in W some measure recognized, his landfall in the New World still remains unmarked. T hat is actually so. But it in­ dicates neither a lack of interest in doing honour to a distin­ guished navigator for his outstanding services, nor a paucity of those who have urged the marking of his landfall or advanced claims with respect to its site. His name and his fame are per­ petuated by Cabot Strait, which separates Cape Breton I sland :..... r- from Newfoundland, by the Cabot Trail, with its unsurt>assed :., , scenic splendour, in Cape Breton Island, and by Cabot 'l'ower on Signal Hill, at St. John's in Newfoundland. It is very fitting that Cabot's a.ctivities should be so com­ memorated in both Cape Breton Island and Newfoundland, for his voyages had great significance for each. Yet these me­ morials, through their different locations, may also indicate the crux of the Cabotian controversy: there is still a lack of un­ animity with respect to the site of Cabot's landfall in 1497. There are some who would claim it for Cape Breton Island, as well as others who would attribute it to Newfoundland or Labra­ dor. And now that Newfoundland is a part of the Canadian nation, these rival claims have been revived, the evidence has been re-considered and re-sifted, and, if it is now possible, a decision should be reached on this matter.
