EXPLANATION AND GLOSSARY School Section: the basic unit of area into which the province is divided for purposes of public school education and the administration of the public school system. Sections with no schools in operation are not listed in this Directory. Rural School Section: a section in which one full-time teacher only is employed. Village School Section: a non-urban section in which more than one full-time teacher is employed (in one or more than one school). Consolidated School Section: a section formed by the union of two or more school sections for the iurose of providing educational facilities in a consolidated school (or schools) for all the children of specified grades in all the uniting sections. (The uniting sections become inoj)erativ’2 individually and combine to create one new consolidated section.) School District: the area formed by the union of two or more rural or village school sections with a municipality for the provision of educational facilities for some of the pupils in the uniting sections. (The uniting sections continue to exist; their schools, administered by the municipal school boards, inovide individually for the education of the remaining pupils of the respective sections.) Urban School Section: a city or town as organized for the provision of educational facilities for the pupils of the city or town. Regional School District: a school district established to provide educational facilities in a city or town for some or all of the pupils in the city or town and in one or more than one adjacent “rural” municipality. Municipality: There are 66 municipal units in Nova Scotia—two cities, 40 towns and 24 non-urban or “rural” municipalities. (The non- urban areas of 12 of the province’s 18 counties—e.g., Annapolis County and Antigonish County—make up 12 of the rural municipalities; in each of the six remaining counties there are two rural municipal districts— e.g., the Municipality of the District of Argyle, the Municipality of the District of Yarmouth and the Municipality of the Town of Yarmouth together make up the County of Yarmouth; the Municipality of the Dis trict of Barrington, the Municipality of the District of Shelburne and the urban municipalities of the towns of Clark’s Harbour, Lockeport and Shelburne constitute Shelburne County.) Rural, village, consolidated, and district schools (the latter including district higth schools, rural high schools, municipal high schools) are administered by “rural” municipal school boards; regional schools are administered by regional school boards; urban schools are administered by city and town boards of school commissioners. 4 Some counties are divided geographically for school purposes; e.g., Annapolis East and Annapolis West; Coichester North, Coichester South, and Coichester West. (This type of division now has no particular signifi cance in educational administration.) Number of Teachers includes superintendents or supervisors of schools, principals of schools, academic teachers and teachers of auxiliary classes and special subjects such as art, home economics, industrial arts, music, physical education, but not substitute teachers. “P” (fifth column of Directory) represents “The Primary Grade”. Primary to Grade 6 inclusive are elementary grades. Grades 7-9 are junior high school grades. Grades 10-12 are senior high school grades. N.B.: The number of pupils enrolled, the number of teachers employed, and even the number of sections in operation may vary appreciably throughout the school year. The statistics in this Directory may therefore not tally exactly with the statistics in the Annual Report of the Depart ment of Education for the corresponding school year. The figures in this Directory are not to be taken as official for statistical purposes.

    article and photos by Jan Napier BLAZING THE TRAIL IN NOVA SCOTIA In Canada’s second ook up, way up, because Glooscap is a giant in Atlantic Canada’s Mi’kmaq culture. This almighty being was of such gargantuan proportions that the smallest province, a province of Nova Scotia was his bed and Prince Edward Island his pillow. larger-than-life demigod, Ancient legends of the mythical creator live on, and there’s no better place Lto explore them than the spectacular Glooscap Trail in northwestern Nova Scotia. over-the-top scenery and The trail stretches 227 miles, all told, but our itinerary focuses on a 125-mile the world’s highest tides segment between Truro and Joggins. It’s a laid-back, mostly coastal drive, beloved by those in the know. set the stage for RV The Mi’kmaq (pronounced Meeg-mah), an indigenous people native to travels on a grand scale Canada’s Maritime Provinces and the Gaspé Peninsula of Quebec, once lived freely in this region. Silas Tertius Rand, a Baptist missionary who traveled among the Mi’kmaq in the mid- to late-1800s, documented their stories featuring the heroic Glooscap. He “lived like other men ... but he never died, never was sick, never grew old,” wrote Rand. “He could do anything and everything.” Traveling RVers can learn more about Mi’kmaq myths and culture, and stand — dwarfed — beneath the demigod’s towering bronze likeness, at the Glooscap Heritage Centre, less than 5 miles from Truro in Millbrook. If you’re lucky, Climb Five Islands Lighthouse Program Director Gordon Pictou or a heritage interpreter will be on hand to for panoramic views of the Bay of Fundy, Minas Basin and the share some of the Mi’kmaq creation stories, like the one about Five Islands.

  • 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-’.

  • 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.

  • Jobs and Building Plan 2013–2014 Capital Plan the Plan Will Provide Direct Employment Equal to More Than 3,700 Good Jobs
    Nova Scotia’s Jobs and Building Plan 2013–2014 Capital Plan The plan will provide direct employment equal to more than 3,700 good jobs and spinoff employment for almost 2,600 people Jobs and Building Plan The Honourable Maureen MacDonald Minister of Finance Nova Scotia is getting ready to capitalize on some of the biggest economic opportunities the province has ever seen. The federal shipbuilding contracts, the development of Lower Churchill and new offshore exploration have the potential to change the economic landscape and vastly improve the quality of life in Nova Scotia. Nova Scotia is preparing for these opportunities by making capital investments in key strategic areas. Nova Scotia’s capital plan for 2013-2014 reflects government’s commitment to make life better for families, provide better care sooner, and help businesses and workers take advantage of opportunities here at home. The Jobs and Building Plan will invest $525 million to provide good jobs, grow the economy, and provide better healthcare for all Nova Scotians. The province estimates that the capital projects outlined in the 2013-2014 plan will provide direct employment equal to more than 3,700 good jobs and spinoff employment for almost 2,600 people. Government releases an infrastructure investment plan each year in the fall to indicate planned capital spending for the coming year. It allows Nova Scotians to see where tax dollars are being spent. It also helps businesses prepare for upcoming projects, resulting in a better deal for the province and taxpayers. What is Capital Spending and a Capital Plan? Government distinguishes between the costs that relate to its day-to-day operations, called operating costs (such as salaries and rent), and those that are more long-term in nature, called capital assets (such as buildings, equipment and vehicles).
