  • Antigonish Floodrisk and Erosion Climate Change Project
    Antigonish Floodrisk and Erosion Climate Change Project The study commissioned by the Nova Scotia Department of Regional Economic Development and the Nova Scotia Department of the Environment By Dr. Tim Webster, Katie LeBlanc and Nathan Crowell Applied Geomatics Research Group, Centre of Geographic Science Nova Scotia Community College Middleton, NS B0S 1M0 & Acadia University, Wolfville, NS 1 Executive Summary The Canadian coastlines have been assessed for sensitivity to future sea-level change and it has been determined that the east coast of Canada is highly vulnerable to erosion and flooding. The third assessment of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) indicates that there will be an increase in mean global sea-level from 1990 to 2100 between 0.09 m and 0.88 m (Church et al. 2001). The latest IPCC Assessment Report 4 (AR4) has projected global mean seal-level to rise between 0.18 and 0.59 m from 1990 to 2095 (Meehl et al. 2007). However as Forbes et al. (2009) point out, these projections do not account for the large ice sheets melting and measurements of actual global sea-level rise are higher than the previous predictions of the third assessment report. Rhamstorf et al. (2007) compared observed global sea-level rise to that projected in the third assessment report and found it exceeded the projections and have suggested a rise between 0.5 and 1.4 m from 1990 to 2100. Thus, Forbes et al. (2009) use the upper limit of 1.3 m as a precautionary approach to sea-level rise projections in the Halifax region.

  • Aims 6Th Annual High School Report Card (Rc6)
    AIMS 6TH ANNUAL HIGH SCHOOL REPORT CARD (RC6) Nova Scotia High Schools Two years ago, a ruling by Nova Scotia’s Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Review Officer confirmed that the release of student achievement data was in the public interest. However, AIMS is still not able to report locally assigned exam grades or attendance in Nova Scotia schools, as some boards are still not able to access this information or simply refuse to do so. Following the closing of Queen Elizabeth High School in Halifax, last year’s top ranked school, we were assured a new school at the top of the rankings. Cape Breton Highlands Academy in Terre Noire jumped from third place in RC5 to take over the number one spot in the province, maintaining an ‘A-’ grade. Cape Breton Highlands was the only school in Nova Scotia to achieve an ‘A’ grade, with Charles P. Allen in Bedford also maintaining its ‘B+’ grade from last year to claim second spot in the rankings. Dalbrae Academy in Southwest Mabou saw its grade drop from an ‘A-’ to a ‘B+’ but still finished third overall. Several schools saw improvements of two grade levels. Rankin School of the Narrows and Pictou Academy-Dr. T. McCulloch School both improved from a ‘C+’ to a ‘B’ and finished eighth and ninth overall, respectively. Canso Academy (‘C’ to ‘B-’) and Annapolis West Education Centre (‘C’ to ‘B-’) also improved by two grade levels. Springhill Junior-Senior High School was the only school to see its grade decline more than two levels, falling from a ‘B-’ to a ‘C-’.

MacLellan (Antigonish County) Alex Dunphy, Planner (EDPC) The meeting was called to order at 1:03pm by the Chair, Deputy Mayor D. MacInnis. Mayor L. Boucher introduced Mr. G. Post, Executive Director of the Accessibility Directorate noting his commitment to improving accessibility in the province. Round table introductions took place. G. Post provided a presentation about Access by Design. He noted the Act is about preventing and removing barriers including physical, communication, attitude, institutional, and lack of awareness. A road map is available online for Access by Design, providing guidance on how to make a community accessible by 2030. Those in attendance were advised that the Province has a grant program through Communities Culture and Heritage that will fund up to two thirds of the costs to make businesses more accessible. This funding isn’t just for the built environment but also for things like upgrading business website to accommodate visual impairment, installing hearing aid amplifiers in large meeting rooms, or printing new menus in braille. G. Post noted that there is a requirement for all municipalities to develop an accessibility plan.

  • Placenaming on Cape Breton Island 381 a Different View from The
    Placenaming on Cape Breton Island A different view from the sea: placenaming on Cape Breton Island William Davey Cape Breton University Sydney NS Canada [email protected] ABSTRACT : George Story’s paper A view from the sea: Newfoundland place-naming suggests that there are other, complementary methods of collection and analysis than those used by his colleague E. R. Seary. Story examines the wealth of material found in travel accounts and the knowledge of fishers. This paper takes a different view from the sea as it considers the development of Cape Breton placenames using cartographic evidence from several influential historic maps from 1632 to 1878. The paper’s focus is on the shift names that were first given to water and coastal features and later shifted to designate settlements. As the seasonal fishing stations became permanent settlements, these new communities retained the names originally given to water and coastal features, so, for example, Glace Bay names a town and bay. By the 1870s, shift names account for a little more than 80% of the community names recorded on the Cape Breton county maps in the Atlas of the Maritime Provinces . Other patterns of naming also reflect a view from the sea. Landmarks and boundary markers appear on early maps and are consistently repeated, and perimeter naming occurs along the seacoasts, lakes, and rivers. This view from the sea is a distinctive quality of the island’s names. Keywords: Canada, Cape Breton, historical cartography, island toponymy, placenames © 2016 – Institute of Island Studies, University of Prince Edward Island, Canada Introduction George Story’s paper The view from the sea: Newfoundland place-naming “suggests other complementary methods of collection and analysis” (1990, p.

  • Lena M. Diab the Armdale Report
    THE HONOURABLE THE ARMDALE REPORT LENA M. DIAB VOL. 1 • NO. 1 • FEBRUARY 2014 MLA HALIFAX ARMDALE Welcome to the first edition of the Armdale Report! It has been almost 4 months since you elected me to be your MLA. My colleagues and I have been working steadily both at the House of Assembly and in our ridings. On December 7th, we officially opened my constituency office. Located on the Armdale Rotary, our address is 2625 Joseph Howe Drive, Suite 26. Thank you to everyone who attended our open house and brought a donation of food or money to give to Feed Nova Scotia. We filled over 4 large boxes which we delivered to Feed Nova Scotia just before Christmas. I started the new year by attending various events with municipal councillors Linda Mosher (District 9), Russell Walker (District 10) and Stephen Adams (District 11). We attended the 20th annual Herring Cove Polar Bear Dip. We also shared in the wonderful New Year’s Levee festivities held at various local events. It was great to see so many people of all ages enjoy the company of family and friends. In January, I also had the opportunity to tour J.L Ilsley High School with MLA Brendan Maguire from Halifax Atlantic. We met with Principal Gordon McKelvie to discuss the current condition of the building and how we may be able to assist. As a mother of four children, I understand the impact a positive high school experience can have in shaping the future of our youth. I want to assure you that our voices have been heard.
