Donald I. MacIntosh, President of Maritime Conference, as guest preacher; 3. a service on December 19 with Rev. A.B.B. Moore, B.D. D.D., L.L.D., Moderator of UCC, as guest Preacher; and 4. Her first 100 years was very eloquently defined/described in the publication of “Fort Massey Church — A Century of Witness 1871-1971” by Rev. Dr. Donald M. Sinclair, M.A.,,D.D. — one of her former ministers2. A continuation of her history into the second century follows!3 Many thanks are expressed to those who have written up her Annual Reports — as it is the source of much of the information. Recognition and thanks are also extended for editorial support to Rev'd Trent Cleveland-Thompson and photos and major formatting to Ian MacDonald. 1 Centenary Committee: Rev. John B. Corston, D.D., Dr Paul Cudmore, Mr. H.J. Denyar, Miss Margaret Grant, Mrs. J. Roger Mills, Dr James D. McLean, Mr George B. Robertson, Q.C. 2 “Fort Massey Church – A Century of Witness” 1871-1971 by Rev. Donald M. Sinclair, M.A.,,D.D. 3 For a listing of some more specific historical data, you are referred to Annex B. 2 CLERGY The church has been very ably monitored, guided and overseen by four (4) clergy, who have worked closely with the congregation, since 1971: 1. MACQUEEN, Stanley G. (1915-2006) took the Church into her second century, serving until June 1978, when he retired to Pictou County. He had, in 1975 been elected President of Maritime Conference. His daughter, Lorna MacQueen, was recommended in 1978 by Session as a candidate for ministry — going on to ordination. On Dec 12, 1982 he was the guest preacher for the 111th Anniversary Service and was guest preacher again on Dec 9, 1990 for the 119th Anniversary Service. He died in Cape Breton in 2006. 2. STURGE, Rev. Edwin Clifton (1919-2000) He, with wife Marie, moved to Fort Massey in 1978; serving until 1984. He served as a minister of the United Church of Canada for over 50 years, having graduated from Memorial College, Dalhousie University and Pine Hill Divinity College in Halifax, Nova Scotia. He served in several charges in Newfoundland including Buchans, Gander, Botwood, St. James and Wesley in St. John’s, also in the Annapolis Valley and Halifax, Nova Scotia. After retiring in 1985, he served as interim minister at St. Andrew’s United Church in Halifax , N.S. and Northlea United Church in Laval, Quebec, and he continued to serve as Summer Supply to Fort Massey for a number of years. He was a past president of the Newfoundland Conference and served on various committees in the Presbytery, Conference and General Council throughout the years. In 2004 there was the dedication of a Memorial Communion Cabinet, located on the south wall of the sanctuary, in memory of Clifton Sturge. 3 3. Rev Ivan L. Norton, B.A., MDiv (1952- ) Ivan was born and grew up in the Annapolis Valley of Nova Scotia. He attended Acadia University — where, in his first year, he met Judy, who he was to marry. Ivan completed divinity studies at Atlantic School of Theology and was ordained by the Maritime Conference of The United Church of Canada in May of 1975. While at AST he served the Ste. Croix Pastoral Charge in rural Hants County. Upon ordination Ivan was settled in the St. Ann’s Pastoral Charge in Victoria County. A year later the Nortons returned to the Valley — to the West Cornwallis Pastoral Charge at Berwick. It was during that time that they commenced their association with the Berwick United Church Camp. The Rev. James Beveridge was on the Pastoral Relations Committee for Fort Massey United Church in the spring of 1984 and he proposed Ivan’s name as a possible candidate for minister. Ivan was inducted into Fort Massey the first of September of that year, and moved to Halifax with his wife and two children, Jamie and Beth Ann. He served Fort Massey for nine years until he was called to First United Church, Truro in 1993. During their time in Halifax Judy completed her Master of Theological Studies degree. In the spring of 1997, they report that they were approached by Bridgewater United Church, where they have served in team ministry until the present time (2011). They have given notice of their plans to retire in the summer of 2012 and, while hoping to continue to make their home in Bridgewater, plan on traveling frequently to Ontario to visit with their two grandchildren. 4 4. Rev Trent Cleveland-Thompson (1956- ) Trent D. Cleveland-Thompson was born in Wolfville, NS, in 1956, and attended high school in Annapolis Royal. He graduated Dalhousie University (BA ‘78), and Acadia University (MDIV’84). He was ordained a Baptist minister in 1986, and received into The United Church of Canada in 1993. He served Lancaster United Baptist Church (1984-88) in Saint John, NB, as Assistant Minister; and Minister at Caledonia Pastoral Charge, NS (1988-90) and St. Andrews Pastoral Charge in NB (1990-93). He was called to Fort Massey Church in September 1993. He was married to Linda (nee Cleveland) from Yarmouth, and they raised three children at the Cambridge Street manse. It might be wondered whether there is something in the air at Cambridge Street that has driven or inspired the spouses to complete significant postgraduate university degrees! SPIRITUAL Services: To start her second century, the Church continued with the single morning service. Coffee and Conversation was initiated, following Sunday Services, in 1971 by Jean and Paul Cudmore — and was found to be a very welcoming element and a great success. For many years it was faithfully coordinated by Patsy Dick, and continues today — with lemonade in the summer. Of note, on April 13, 1973, there was the first ordination of Women as Elders of Fort Massey Kirk Session; the individuals being Miss Arleigh Watson and Mrs. Nora Corston. June 3, 1986 saw the launch of Dr. John Corston’s4 book ‘Paul, Apostle Extraordinary’. 4 John B. Corston, DD was a Professor of New Testament at Pine Hill Divinity College and AST, a friend extraordinaire of Fort Massey and for many years a member and elder. 5 In 1988, Fort Massey, like most United Churches, addressed the question of Human Sexuality. The following decisions were made5: 1. All who profess a faith in Jesus are eligible to become members of the UCC and are welcome in FMUC 2. As it was believed that the practice of homosexuality does not conform to the Christian lifestyle as exemplified in the Bible and Church tradition, the Kirk Session of FM moves to adopt a policy of not recommending self- declared practicing homosexuals for ordination or commissioning in the UCC, nor as a minister of this congregation. December 4, 1988 saw the installation of the Rev James Beveridge as minister emeritus. On December 6, 1992, the 75th anniversary of Halifax Explosion was remembered in the evening — with comments from Dr Harry Morton, Iva Bowman and Dorothy Rhind — who were all survivors of the Explosion. In 1994 a series of evening services for young adults was tried and then, as a result of a Bill Easum6 Seminar in 1996, it was decided in 1997 to go to two morning services (09:30 and 11:00) — in part to allow contemporary and traditional worship formats. The two services continued until 2007 when numbers no longer warranted it and the congregation decided to return to a single 10:30 morning service. In 1998 the Spirit Connection midweek group started. They hold discussions on matters of life and faith. Steps were taken by Fort Massey in 2005 to develop a logo. This was done through the auspices of the Membership Development Committee (chaired by Gwen Atkinson). It was felt that the logo should include a gargoyle, as this would reflect the gothic architecture of Fort Massey. Matthew Dick was asked to draw a picture of one of the gargoyles in the interior of the church, to help visualize how a gargoyle could be used.

  • The Great Maritimes Blizzard of February 18-19, 2004
    The Great Maritimes Blizzard of February 18-19, 2004 Chris Fogarty Atlantic Storm Prediction Centre, Dartmouth, Nova Scotia Introduction On 18 February 2004 an intense low pressure system formed well south of Nova Scotia as cold air from eastern North America clashed with the relatively warm waters of the Gulf Stream. The storm moved northeastward passing south of Nova Scotia and over Sable Island. A vast area of heavy snow and high winds swept across Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and southeast New Brunswick bringing blizzard conditions and record snowfalls. Widespread amounts of 60 to 90 cm (24 to 36 inches, 2 to 3 feet) were experienced bringing Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island to a standstill. States of emergency were put into effect across these provinces in order for emergency officials to perform their duties and clean up the mammoth snowfall. It took days for many urban streets and highways to be cleared. 1. The Synoptic Situation A storm track map is shown in Fig. 1 with a time series of minimum sea level pressure in the inset based on analyses at the Maritimes Weather Centre in Halifax, Nova Scotia. The storm formed approximately 200 km southeast of Cape Hatteras, NC at 00 UTC 18 February. It then moved to the northeast at 35-40 km/h, attaining its lowest sea level pressure of 959 mb at 18 UTC 19 February 250 km southeast of Halifax, NS (Fig. 2). Fig. 1.

  • Examining the Effect of Visualization Tool Exposure on Local-Level Stakeholder Perceptions on Climate Change Adaptation
    Examining the Effect of Visualization Tool Exposure on Local-level Stakeholder Perceptions on Climate Change Adaptation by Maliha Majeed A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfillment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Master of Environmental Studies in Geography Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2015 © Maliha Majeed 2015 AUTHOR’S DECLARATION I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii ABSTRACT Vulnerabilities of human communities, driven by environmental, social, economic, and political dynamics, vary across geographical and social regions. Coastal communities are considered to be among those greatest at risk from climate impacts. To cope with these impacts, communities must assess existing vulnerabilities and adaptive capacities, and begin to adapt. Currently, community-based research often focuses on identifying vulnerabilities and possible adaptations, but rarely examines how local-level stakeholders perceive adaptation-based needs and potential action. This research study focuses on Lennox Island, in Prince Edward Island and the Town of Lockeport, in Nova Scotia to examine how two innovative visualization tools, CLIVE and AdaptNS, influence stakeholder perceptions on climate change adaptation. This study explores whether tool exposure changes perceptions of awareness and priorities for potential action among local-level decision-makers and stakeholders. It further explores which aspects of the visualization tools resonate among local-level decision-makers. This research builds on existing vulnerability assessment information established through the Partnership for Canada-Caribbean Community Climate Change Adaptation (ParCA) research project and uses a methodological approach involving semi-structured interviews and community-based workshops with local-level decision-makers and community stakeholders, respectively.

  • Bringing Adaptation Home: Citizen Engagements with Climate Change at Home Site Scales in Ottawa and Halifax
    Bringing adaptation home: Citizen engagements with climate change at home site scales in Ottawa and Halifax by Magdalene Goemans A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Geography Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario ©2018 Magdalene Goemans ABSTRACT Climate change impacts are becoming increasingly evident in cities, generating hazards such as heatwaves and flooding events that may cause discomfort or trauma for residents. Climate change scholars suggest that measures undertaken on private lands provide a significant counterpart to public adaptation initiatives, and increasingly position the home site as an important scale of analysis within climate change research (Bichard & Kazmiercak, 2009; Jeffers, 2014; Pyhala et al., 2016; Wilson et al., 2014). Select scholars have also considered how municipalities may effectively engage with citizens to encourage greater home-based responses to climate-related hazards (Groulx et al., 2014; Hjerpe et al., 2014; Klein, 2014). This thesis explores citizen perspectives of climate change impacts, risk and opportunities for adaptation that are based at the scale of the urban home site in two mid- sized Canadian cities, Ottawa and Halifax. Through a qualitative research approach of discourse analysis, this thesis explores several distinct but related sub-themes: (1) how residents understand local places of climate change impacts and risk; (2) how residents engage with home site natures within

  • September 2013 Remember the Sabbath
    ANGLICAN JOURNAL Inspiring the faithful since 1875 vol. 139 no. 7 september 2013 Remember the Sabbath September seems to be all about gearing up for back to school, back to work, back to the rat race after the fleeting reprieve of summer holidays (if you had any). The promise that computers and labour-saving technology would mean more leisure time for everyone now seems laughable in the face of statistics that clearly show most people are working harder and longer than ever. In the midst of that busyness, and the stress that comes with it, the Journal poses the question, have we forgotten Sabbath? “Remember the Sabbath day, and keep it holy. For six days you shall labour and do all your work. But the seventh day is a sabbath to the Lord your God; you shall not do any work” is the fourth commandment (Ex. 20:8–10a), but what does it mean in a society that can shop, work and chatter online 24/7? What have we lost? What does it cost? What is the church’s role in calling people to keep the Sabbath? —Leigh Anne Williams See RX, p. 8 Drop thy still dews of quietness, till all our strivings cease; take from our souls the strain and stress, and let our ordered lives confess the beauty of thy peace.
