Korneski A thesis submitted to the school of graduate studies in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of History Memorial University of Newfoundland April2004 DEC 0 5 2005 St. John's Newfoundland Abstract During the first quarter of the twentieth century Canadians lived through, were shaped by, and informed the nature of a range of social transformations. Social historians have provided a wealth of information about important aspects of those transformations, particularly those of"ordinary" people. The purpose of this thesis is to provide further insight into these transitions by examining the lives and thoughts of a selection of those who occupied a comparatively privileged position within Canadian society in the early twentieth century. More specifically, the approach will be to examine four Winnipeg citizens - namely, Presbyterian minister and author Charles W. Gordon, newspaper editor John W. Dafoe, member of the Imperial Order Daughters of Empire Minnie J.B. Campbell, and women's page editor Francis M. Beynon. In examining these men and women, what becomes evident about elites and the social and cultural history of early twentieth-century Canada is that, despite their privileged standing, they did not arrive at "reasonable" assessments of the state of affairs in which they existed. Also, despite the fact that they and their associates were largely Protestant, educated Anglo-Canadians from Ontario, it is apparent that the men and women at the centre of this study suggest that there existed no consensus among elites about the proper goals of social change.

    MEDIA RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE MR# 2018057 DATE: 11 July 2018 RE: Crosswalk review recommends elimination of 67 crosswalks AMHERST, Nova Scotia – A draft review conducted by the Town of Amherst’s traffic authority is recommending the removal of 67 of the town’s 177 crosswalks. The recommendation was presented in a report presented by the town’s traffic authority, Police Chief Ian Naylor, during the June 25 meeting of Amherst town council’s committee of the whole. The review was started in 2017 after it became clear there was a lack of consistency in the application of crosswalks within the Town. Council tasked the traffic authority to assess the current process used to approve crosswalks, as well as conduct a review of the existing crosswalks and provide recommendations on the retention, removal, installation of new crosswalks and the type of pedestrian controls required. A committee consisting of Naylor, SSgt. Scott White, Public Works Operations Manager Aaron The town's traffic authority has recommended the removal of 67 Bourgeois and Brandon LeBlanc, an of the town's 177 crosswalks.

The review included a site visit to each crosswalk location. The committee also referenced the Nova Scotia Motor Vehicle Act, and the Transport Association of Canada’s (TAC) “Pedestrian Crossing Control Guide.” The TAC guide provides recommended guidelines developed through the review of best practices in Canada. The information obtained from these sources was used to develop the criteria used to assess whether an existing crosswalk should be retained or 98 Victoria Street East, P.O.

  • Nova Scotia Routes
    Nova Scotia – Northern Mainland Northern Mainland of Nova Scotia Most visitors pass through this part of Nova Scotia on their way to better-known tourist destinations – north to Cape Breton or south to the Lighthouse Route – leaving quieter roads for the cyclist. But northern mainland Nova Scotia has spectacular scenery and extraordinary variety, from gentle countryside reminiscent of Prince Edward Island, to coastal mountains and bluffs that are often compared to Cape Breton. The warm waters of Northumberland Strait lap inviting beaches on the northern shore, while just 60 kilometres to the south, the giant, cold tides of Fundy have created a rugged coastline that is ideal for shorebirds, hikers, beachcombers, and photographers – but not for swimmers! The eastern Atlantic coast, like the better known Lighthouse Route, has rocks, lighthouses, fishing villages, and fog, but with far fewer people. In fact, northern Nova Scotia has less tourist traffic than any other part of the province. Maritimers are known for friendliness, but in this quiet part of Nova Scotia, where cycle tourists are still something of a novelty, Near Cap D’Or you will receive welcomes that are even warmer and more genuine than usual. When we cycled here, we were struck by the pride residents feel in their corner of the province. When they learned we were writing a guidebook, they often said something like, “You be sure to tell people what a grand place this is!” We describe three wonderful loop rides in Northern Nova Scotia. The Amherst-Chignecto Tour, in blue, is the longest. It begins and ends near the New Brunswick border and could take a week or more.
