Connors 1987 GEOLOGY OF THE WEST-CENTRAL CAPE BRETON HIGHLANDS, NOVA SCOTIA Abstract Mapping of metavolcanic, metasedimentary, and metaplutonic rocks in the vicinity of the Northeast Margaree River, west-central Cape Breton Highlands, has been carried out on 1:10 000 and 1:25 000 scales. The Jumping Brook metamorphic suite (redefined) consists of a lower unit of metabasalts and associated pyroclastic and sedimentary rocks (Faribault Brook metavolcanics), overlain by quartz-rich sedimentary rocks with local conglomerate and tuff (Barren Brook schist), and semi-pelitic to psammitic schists (Dauphinee Brook schist), which grade into porphyroblastic schists ranging up to staurolite-kyanite grade (Corney Brook schist). Medium grained amphibolite (George Brook amphibolite) with relict dioritic texture is common in the sequence and probably represents synvolcanic intrusions.

Project Team Jason Googoo, Project Manager Dave Moore, Author and Research Craig Hodder, Author and GIS Technician Katy McEwan, MEKS Interviewer Mary Ellen Googoo, MEKS Interviewer John Sylliboy, MEKS Traditionalist Prepared by: Reviewed by: ___________________ ____________________ Craig Hodder, Author Jason Googoo, Manager Green Cove MEKS Executive Summary This Mi’kmaq Ecological Knowledge Study, also commonly referred to as an MEKS or a Traditional Ecological Knowledge Study (TEKS), was developed by Membertou Geomatics Solutions (MGS) for Parks Canada for the proposed Never Forgotten National Memorial Complex (NFNMC) Project. This MEKS mandate is to consider land and water areas which the proposed project will utilize, and to identify what Mi’kmaq traditional use activities have occurred, or are currently occurring within, and what Mi’kmaq ecological knowledge presently exists in regards to the area. In order to ensure accountability and ethic responsibility of this MEKS, the MEKS development has adhered to the “Mi’kmaq Ecological Knowledge Protocol”. This protocol is a document that has been established by the Assembly of Nova Scotia Mi’kmaq Chiefs, which speaks to the process, procedures and results that are expected of a MEKS. The Mi’kmaq Ecological Knowledge Study consisted of two major components: • Mi’kmaq Traditional Land and Resource Use Activities , both past and present, • A Mi’kmaq Significance Species Analysis , considering the resources that are important to Mi’kmaq use. The Mi’kmaq Traditional Land and Resource Use Activities component utilized interviews as the key source of information regarding Mi’kmaq use in the Project Site and Study Area.

    CANADIAN MARITIMES 2016 19 June - 17 August 2016 SMART Canadian Maritimes Caravan 2016 19 June - 17 August 2016 Wagon Masters: Carl and Gwen Hopper Assistant Wagon Masters: Mark and Linda Avey The 2016 Canadian Maritimes Caravan started and ended in Hermon, Maine, and covered over 3,000 miles in the Maritime Provinces of New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Newfoundland, and Prince Edward Island. We started the trip with 19 rigs but unfortunately lost one in Monc- ton, New Brunswick ,due to an accident. No one was seriously injured, but we had to continue on with only 18 rigs. Some of the highlights of this trip included the Bay of Fundy with 25-foot tides, the Royal Nova Scotia International Tattoo, rides on the Bluenose II and Amoeba sailing vessels, whale watching tours, and some of the most beautiful and breathtaking scenery in the world. Some of our group even took a day trip to Labrador, while others sailed out of St. Anthony, Newfoundland, to view icebergs and whales. We enjoyed many caravan-sponsored dinners with lots of lobster and other seafood. This was an amazing trip which was made even more enjoyable by the outstanding people who traveled with us. Many thanks to all who contributed time and effort to make this a truly memorable trip.
