  • 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.

"First of all, do we need the power?" she asked Friday. "And the second question we've got to ask Is: what's the cheapest way?" Dunderdale was echoing Natural Resources Minister Jerome Kennedy, who said Thursday that the whole hydroelectric project bolls down to the same two questions. The government vehemently Insists that yes, the province needs the power, and that Independent assessments will prove that the Churchill River hydroelectric dam Is the cheapest way to generate lt.

Critics have also raised any number of specific technical objections with the project and how the development deal Is structured. Most recently, project partner Emera said that energy prices In the 14-16 cent per kilowatt/hour range was too high, and they would never go forward with the project at those rates.

It may have contained a few tweets here and there but it was a speech Mr. Marshall has likely delivered during his tenures as Minister of Natural Resources and Minister of Finance. Former Premier Kathy Dunderdale, a native of Burin, was originally scheduled to be guest speaker but events during the second last week of January reshuffled the deck. Mr. Marshall, now the 11th Premier in Newfoundland and Labrador, said his speech to the Chamber’s annual general meeting was his first public address since being named worn to his new role Jan. 24. It excluded an appearance before the Newfoundland and Labrador Youth Parliament at the Legislature the first week of February. He likened the accomplishment of Marystown’s own Kaetlyn Osmond at the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics as “one person stepping up to inspire others. “We all have that capacity to step up and I notice in our youth particularly a new attitude in Newfoundland and Labrador stemming from the province leading economic growth (in Canada).” He recapped one of the current government’s “boldest steps” in the development of the province’s energy resources.

    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.

Muskrat concerns Kathy Dunderdale not worried about N.S. Muskrat concerns New Nova Scotia government identifies eight areas of concern over Maritime Link CBC News Posted: Nov 20, 2013 7:31 AM NTLast Updated: Nov 20, 2013 7:31 AM NT Newfoundland and Labrador Premier Kathy Dunderdale says she is not anxious about objections to Muskrat Falls' Maritime Link raised by the newly elected Liberal government in Nova Scotia. Andrew Younger, Nova Scotia's energy minister, has listed eight new conditions for supporting the Maritime Link. The link will funnel hydroelectric power generated at Muskrat Falls in central Labrador across the Cabot Strait to Nova Scotia. In effect, Nova Scotia is demanding stronger guarantees of a secure supply of power at a low price. But Dunderdale, whose government has been pushing ahead with construction on the multi-billion-dollar Muskrat Falls project, said she does not see Younger's concerns — made in a presentation to the Nova Scotia Utility and Review Board — as a serious impediment. "There's nothing there that's troublesome to us," said Dunderdale, adding that "we need to firm up the language" that will satisfy all parties. Dunderdale told reporters that most of the eight conditions have already been meet or can be dealt with easily.

  • Acadiensis Cover
    PRESENT AND PAST/PRÉSENT ET PASSÉ « Présent et passé » : Avec ce numéro d’Acadiensis , nous présentons aux lecteurs une nouvelle série d’articles qui paraîtra à l’occasion et qui s’intitule « Présent et passé ». Faisant suite à la série « Forum » (qui continuera d’exister et de s’intéresser aux débats et aux perspectives complémentaires offertes par des groupes d’universitaires), la série « Présent et passé » offrira aux spécialistes de l’histoire régionale et aux universitaires de disciplines connexes l’occasion de faire part de leurs réflexions sur les enjeux actuels dans une perspective historique. Le principe selon lequel les connaissances universitaires peuvent approfondir notre compréhension des questions contemporaines n’a rien de nouveau dans les pages d’Acadiensis , comme l’illustrent les travaux de nombreux auteurs de la revue. La nouvelle série cherchera à rendre ce lien encore plus explicite. “Present and Past”: With this issue of Acadiensis , we present to readers a new occasional series entitled “Present and Past.” An outgrowth from the journal’s “Forum” series (which will continue to exist, focusing on debates and complementary perspectives offered by groups of scholars), “Present and Past” will provide regional historians and scholars in related disciplines with the opportunity to reflect on current issues in historical perspective. The principle that scholarly insight can deepen our understanding of contemporary affairs is nothing new in the pages of Acadiensis , as exemplified by the work of many of the journal’s authors. The new series will seek to make this connection more explicit.

  • Mines-Production-Mrip-Vol13no1.Pdf
    Volume 13, No. 1 MINISTER’S MESSAGE This issue of MINFO marks the beginning of another season of tremen- dous activity in the province's mining industry. Last year, we saw explo- ration expenditures reach a 10-year high of $98 million and this year we expect that total to jump to an unprecedented $116 million. The value of our mineral shipments is also expected to reach a record-high $3 billion this year. A combination of factors is behind these rising numbers, including the continuing rise in mineral prices and the growing attractiveness of New- foundland and Labrador as a destination for mineral exploration and development. In addition, a significant reason for this unprecedented period of prosperity is the hard work, expertise and enthusiasm of the people in the industry, particularly the people within the Department of Honorable Kathy Dunderdale Natural Resources. This year alone, we have seen many excellent exam- Minister of Natural Resources ples of the difference our people are making in this industry. Earlier this year, in March, at the annual conference of the Prospectors and Developers Association of Canada, industry people from across our country told me time and again that our Geological Survey is one of the finest anywhere. In fact, prospectors and exploration companies trust the Survey's publi- cations and research to make major investment decisions. The Survey's professionalism has been invaluable in working with the Geological Survey of Canada on joint research initiatives in a spirit of cooperation and discovery. In March, one of our geologists, David Liverman launched Killer Snow, a new book featuring true sto- ries of Newfoundlanders and Labradorians who have witnessed the ferocious power of avalanches.
