Heritage Carpentry is the only program of its kind in Eastern Canada, and is available at the NSCC Lunenburg Campus. The Program is a first step towards a journeyperson certification in carpentry. Entry require- ments are a high-school completion or equivalent. The first year of the program focuses on basic carpentry, teaching framing, building code requirements, founda- tions, tool use, an introduction to heritage concepts, with an emphasis on safe practices. The students learn on the campus in Bridgewater where they have access to a fully-equipped shop and a compound in which to work on building projects. The main project for students is the construction of a shed, which helps them explore building solutions and heritage applications. The second year of the program is located at a separate classroom/ shop venue in the Town of Lunenburg where students benefit from working in what is a UNESCO-designated World Heritage Site.

We are inspired by the bravery of our soldiers at Normandy and moved by the words of John McCrae’s "In Flanders Fields." We are amazed at the vision of Louis-Joseph Papineau and Sir Wilfrid Laurier. We are enchanted by the paintings of Emily Carr and the writings of Lucy Maud Montgomery. We look back in awe at the wisdom of Sir John A. Macdonald and Sir George-Étienne Cartier. We are moved to tears of joy by the humour of Stephen Leacock and tears of gratitude for the courage of Tecumseh. We hold in high regard the determination of Emily Murphy and Rev. Josiah Henson to overcome obstacles which stood in the way of their dreams. We give thanks for the work of the Victorian Order of Nurses and those who organ- ized the Underground Railroad. We think of those who suffered and died at Grosse Île in the dream of reaching a new home.

This MEKS mandate is to consider land and water areas in which the proposed properties contained within the proposed project are located and to identify what Mi’kmaq traditional use activities have occurred, or are currently occurring within, and what Mi’kmaq ecological knowledge presently exists in regards to the area. In order to ensure accountability and ethic responsibility of this MEKS, the MEKS development has adhered to the “Mi’kmaq Ecological Knowledge Protocol, 2nd Edition”.

  • An Analysis of Heritage in Tourist Brochures, Halifax, Nova Scotia, 2019
    AN ANALYSIS OF HERITAGE IN TOURIST BROCHURES, HALIFAX, NOVA SCOTIA, 2019 by Thomas LaPierre A thesis submitted in fulfillment of the requirements of GEOG 4526 for the Degree of Bachelor of Arts (Honours) Department of Geography and Environmental Studies Saint Mary’s University Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada © Thomas LaPierre, 2020 April 14, 2020 Members of the Examining Committee: Dr. Jason Grek-Martin (Supervisor) Department of Geography and Environmental Studies Saint Mary’s University Dr. Mathew Novak Department of Geography and Environmental Studies Saint Mary’s University ii My thesis is dedicated to everyone in the world, especially healthcare workers, world leaders and anyone who has suffered from COVID-19. We are all going through tough times right now. But we will get through this. Humanity finds a way every time to survive and adapt. Stay strong and healthy! iii ABSTRACT An Analysis of Heritage in Tourist Brochures, Halifax, Nova Scotia, 2019 by Thomas LaPierre I collected brochures from several sites in Halifax during the summer of 2019, analyzing them for heritage content, especially keeping an eye out for Scottishness and idyllic maritime folk themes. In the early-mid 20th century, the Nova Scotian government took interest in these things, and elevated their importance to help create a unified heritage strategy. I examined Citadel Hill and Fisherman’s Cove as case studies that had elements of Scottishness and idyllic maritime folk themes, respectively. In this thesis, I lay out histories of the two sites and of Nova Scotia’s historical heritage development, explaining why Scottishness and idyllic maritime folk themes are still prominent in the province’s tourist landscape today.

  • Parks Canada Manuscript Report Series
    Parks Canada Manuscript Report Series by C.J. TAYLOR~ The Manuscript Report Series (MRS) is a collection of about 350 titles (to date) on a variety of Canadian historical subjects. Written reports are a major product of the more than 100 historians, archaeologists and contract re- searchers who work for the five regional offices of Parks Canada and for Research division of its National Historic Parks and Sites Branch in Ottawa and many of these reports end up in the MRS. The series is already large enough to warrant the attention of those interested in Canadian history yet it is not well known beyond the realm of Parks Canada. This situation is partly due to the fact that the series is not a publication and is therefore not advertised or widely distributed and partly because most of the titles are specialised research studies relating directly to historic site. Still, there is an abundance of material that could have a wider use even though some of these reports have been, or will be, published. And it is this wider use of the MRS as an unpublished gov- ernment document that is of particular concern to the archivist. The purpose of the MRS is to disseminate historic sites research to Parks Canada staff. Originally, manuscript reports written by staff historians and archaeologists were kept on file and photocopies made for those within the or- ganization who required that particular research. Before the regionalization of Parks Canada, most historical and archaeological research was done by National Historic Parks and Sites Branch in Ottawa which by the mid-1960s had a large staff assigned to various projects concerned with sites across the ~ountry.~Each manuscript was given to the Research Division records clerk who assigned it a number and placed it on file.
