Soon, you’ll once again be discovering the places you’ve dreamed of. In the meantime, the enclosed Grand Circle Travel Planning Guide should help you keep those dreams vividly alive. Before you start dreaming, please let me reassure you that your health and safety is our number one priority. As such, we’re requiring that all Grand Circle travelers, Program Directors, and coach drivers must be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 at least 14 days prior to departure. Our new, updated health and safety protocols are described inside. The journey you’ve expressed interest in, The Canadian Maritimes: Nova Scotia, New Brunswick & Prince Edward Island vacation, will be an excellent way to resume your discoveries. It takes you into the true heart of the Canadian Maritimes, thanks to our groups of 42 travelers (with an average of 30). Plus, our Canadian Program Director will reveal their country’s secret treasures as only an insider can. You can also rely on the seasoned team at our regional office in Boston, who are ready to help 24/7 in case any unexpected circumstances arise. Throughout your explorations, you’ll meet local people and gain an intimate understanding of the regional culture.

And you’ll learn about Nova Scotia’s Celtic heritage at Gaelic College in Baddeck, where a local will show off kilt-making, dancing, language, and other traditions. Plus, a portion of our proceeds goes toward the charitable efforts of Grand Circle Foundation: inside you’ll also see how your travel dollar helps make the world a better place.

The Committee is composed of representatives of the Department of Regional Economic Expansion, Environment Canada and Transport Canada, and of the Department of the Environment, Department of Development and Department of Municipal Affairs of the Province of Nova Scotia. The Strait of Canso Environment Committee has as its first objective the development of an environmental management strategy proposal for the Strait of Canso area. Regional environmental assessment and environmental management programs must necessarily be based upon a comprehensive and integrated knowledge of the physical, social and economic resource base ofthe region. Toward this end, the Committee arranged for an initial program, funded under a Federal-Provincial agreement, comprising an inventory of existing information on the natural environment of the Strait of Canso region. The inventory of natural resources and resource uses commenced the summer of 1974, leading to the presentation of the information in a series of special maps and accompanying reports for publication and distribution in late 1975 and early 1976.

Only listings until December 2018 are complete as dates, locations, or Internet addresses (URLs) were not available for a number of events held after December 2018. In order to protect the privacy of individuals, only URLs are used in the listing as this enables readers of the list to obtain event information without submitting their e-mail addresses. A significant challenge during the assembly of this list is incomplete or conflicting information on websites and the lack of a link between conference websites from one year to the next.

    A Draft Heritage Strategy for the Town of Saint Andrews, New Brunswick Submitted to the Saint Andrews Town Council by the 2014 Interim Heritage Planning Committee Christie Altimas Mark Gauley Jeff Holmes Ross Memorial Museum St. Andrews Chamber of Commerce Waterfront St. Andrews (BIA) Sylvia Humphries Barry Murray Doug Naish Saint Andrews Tree Committee St. Andrews Civic Trust Saint Andrews Town Council Irene Scarratt Barbie Smith Lee Sochasky Charlotte County Archives Member at Large Saint Andrews Town Council October 31, 2014 Preamble This report has been prepared by a citizen committee of diverse interests, at the request of the Saint Andrews Town Council, to recommend a basic strategy to maintain and enhance the heritage resources that are integral to our town’s past, present and future. It recognizes the significance of the town’s many heritage buildings and suggests priorities and means to preserve these, longterm. It recognizes the significance of the town’s streetscapes, trees, green spaces and ‘by- the-sea’ aspects and offers recommendations for these also. It suggests ways to recognize, encourage, promote and develop future opportunities from the unique heritage that has defined our community for centuries and can for future generations. Finally, it proposes actions by the Town and many key partners to move this concept forward. This is a small first step, intended to inform and inspire lasting action. The committee has gathered information on how to deliver many of the concepts proposed on these pages, if there is interest. Please take this opportunity to learn more about the Town’s exceptional heritage and how you can help to preserve and advance it.
