For those who paid the ultimate sacrifice and did not return, sometimes it was the last memory that they had of Canada. Prayers Those stories demonstrate how important this lighthouse is. That light is a part of our history, yet it continues to shine today. The PRIVATE MEMBERS' BUSINESS Sambro Island lighthouse is an iconic structure. In fact, at a recent funding announcement to repair the lighthouse, the Minister of Ï (1105) Justice called this lighthouse one of the most iconic structures, not [English] only in Nova Scotia but across the country. AN ACT TO AMEND THE HERITAGE LIGHTHOUSE PROTECTION ACT (SAMBRO ISLAND LIGHTHOUSE) This iconic lighthouse, Canada's Statue of Liberty, is at risk. A number of years ago, the government embarked on a community Ms. Megan Leslie (Halifax, NDP) moved that Bill C-588, An consultation to draft a new piece of legislation that would be called Act to amend the Heritage Lighthouse Protection Act (Sambro Island the Heritage Lighthouse Protection Act. This was a very good Lighthouse), be read the second time and referred to a committee. consultation process. I have talked to people in Nova Scotia who She said: Mr. Speaker, this past year, one day before were part of this process, and they were proud to be a part of it. After Remembrance Day, November 10, 2014, the member for Sackville a period of robust consultation, the Heritage Lighthouse Protection —Eastern Shore and I held a press conference about a lighthouse and Act was written and it passed through Parliament. Those in the Nova its link to Remembrance Day. With us was veteran Earl Corn. Mr. Scotia lighthouse preservation community felt a real sense of Corn is a retired sailor of 38 years, and he talked about how the light accomplishment, that they were a part of something good that would from the Sambro Island Lighthouse was so important to Canada's preserve and protect our lighthouses. men and women serving in the military. As Mr. Corn stated, “This was the last thing we saw [leaving port], and the first thing we saw Then, in 2010, in the old bait and switch, the federal government arriving home.... It's probably one of the most important pieces of made an announcement. Conservatives announced that since light- real estate we have”. houses were not really used as navigational aids anymore, Also at our press conference was George Zwaagstra, who lighthouses across the country would be declared surplus. They immigrated to Canada in the 1950s. Mr. Zwaagstra told us a were delisted. Essentially, government would not take care of them heartwarming story of immigrating to Canada by boat, crammed anymore. together with others who were seeking a new life in Canada, and how they spent a couple of weeks in rough seas. He told us about In the lighthouse protection community, there was an incredible one passenger who suffered a horrible case of seasickness, and how feeling of betrayal. There was all of this work to save our after days and days of no relief this man begged his friends to help lighthouses, and then the government announced in 2010 that 976 him. He said he did not think he could go on being on the ship. That lighthouses across Canada were surplus. In the words of Barry is when someone saw a light on the horizon, a small pinprick of MacDonald, then president of the Nova Scotia Lighthouse light. It would probably not be very interesting to us, but news of Preservation Society: that light spread across the ship in an instant. Mr. Zwaagstra and others went below and found the poor man with seasickness who felt I'm very, very disappointed. Although the aid to navigation that's on that location he could not go on, and they hauled him to the deck above to see that is not declared surplus, what they're coming at here is the fact that they can maintain a steel tower on that site with a solar light a whole lot cheaper than they can maintain light. That light was the first that they saw of Canada, and that light a heritage structure. was from the Sambro Island lighthouse. People have called the Sambro Island lighthouse Canada's Statue The 976 lighthouses across Canada were declared surplus, and of Liberty. It was the first light that newcomers arriving by boat Sambro Island lighthouse was on that list. Once a lighthouse is could see. They saw that light before they even saw land. As we delisted, the community does have an option to take over that heard from Mr. Corn, that light was not only the first light that new lighthouse. 14030 COMMONS DEBATES May 25, 2015 Private Members' Business However, under the new Heritage Lighthouse Protection Act, the Barry mentored this group, and the group grew in size and public was given two years to petition and to nominate historic determination. They put together a petition and asked people to sign lighthouses. In order to qualify for this designation, the group or an if they supported saving the Sambro Island lighthouse.

We have signatures from across Canada, they asked MPs to present those seen this happen in different communities across Canada where petitions in Parliament. communities have applied to take over their local lighthouse. Working with this group of citizens, we came up with a solution. Shortly after the announcement in 2010, I met with members of If Parks Canada took over responsibility for this park, actually took it the Nova Scotia Lighthouse Preservation Society to talk about away from the Department of Fisheries and Oceans or the Coast options. We discussed this option: Could we rally the community to Guard, we could preserve this lighthouse and piece of our history. come together to take over this lighthouse? A community group began the heritage designation process. That is what we did. Working with community and the wonderful However, it does not have the resources required to maintain this legislative drafters at the House of Commons, I was able to put structure, not to mention the fact that trust has been lost.

That was the first bill supplies, including a large web of scaffolding. The total cost came in passed in our legislature in Nova Scotia. It was about this lighthouse. at about $80,000 for a simple repainting. It is the oldest operational lighthouse in the Americas, and the federal government has already recognized the historic significance It is not possible for the community to take over this lighthouse. of this structure. The Sambro Island lighthouse is not on a pier or a wharf. It is not on the shores of Sambro or on Crystal Crescent Beach. It is on an island: essentially a piece of rock in the ocean. In 1937, Sambro lighthouse was designated as a national historic site and a plaque was placed in the village of Sambro. The Sue Paul, secretary for the Sambro Island Lighthouse Heritage construction of this lighthouse was also commemorated as a national Society put it well: historic event in 1937. This is on an island. It's not easy to get to. It's also an 80-foot tower. It's not something that you can just put painting scaffolding on to do a quick fix-up....

    FOR RELEASE April 25, 2017 Yukon and Canada invest to renew infrastructure at Yukon College Joint news release Yukoners will be better equipped for the well-paying middle-class jobs of today and tomorrow as a result of a $3.06 million investment in Yukon College. This joint federal-territorial investment was announced today by the Member of Parliament for Yukon, Larry Bagnell, on behalf of Minister of Innovation, Science and Economic Development Navdeep Bains, by Yukon Deputy Minister of Education Dr. Judith Arnold on behalf of Yukon Minister of Education Tracy-Anne McPhee and by Yukon College President and Vice Chancellor Dr. Karen Barnes.

This investment is a prime example of that vision in action. The funding will support the renovation of the library to create a 21st century Innovation Commons at Yukon College’s Ayamdigut Campus in Whitehorse and undertake an upgrade of the power supply to the campus. The total investment of $3.59 million will be shared by the federal government ($1.53 million), the Government of Yukon ($1.53 million) and Yukon College ($531,528). The funding from the Government of Canada is being allocated through the Post-Secondary Institutions Strategic Investment Fund which will enhance and modernize research facilities on Canadian campuses and improve the environmental sustainability of these facilities.

  • Mass Cancellations Put Artists' Livelihoods at Risk; Arts Organizations in Financial Distress
    Prime Minister Justin Trudeau March 17, 2020 ​ Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland The Honourable Steven Guilbeault The Honourable William Francis Morneau Minister of Canadian Heritage Minister of Finance The Honourable Mona Fortier The Honourable Navdeep Bains Minister of Middle-Class Prosperity Minister of Innovation, Science and Industry Associate Minister of Finance The Honourable Mélanie Joly Minister of Economic Development and Official Languages Re: Mass cancellations put artists’ livelihoods at risk; arts organizations in financial distress Dear Prime Minister Trudeau; Deputy Prime Minister Freeland; and Ministers Guilbeault, Morneau, Fortier, Joly, and Bains, We write as the leadership of Opera.ca, the national association for opera companies and professionals in Canada. In light of recent developments around COVID-19 and the waves of cancellations as a result of bans on mass gatherings, Opera.ca is urgently requesting federal aid on behalf of the Canadian opera sector and its artists -- its most essential and vulnerable people -- while pledging its own emergency support for artists in desperate need. Opera artists are the heart of the opera sector, and their economic survival is in jeopardy. In response to the dire need captured by a recent survey conducted by Opera.ca, the board of directors of Opera.ca today voted for an Opera Artists Emergency Relief Fund to be funded by the association. Further details will be announced shortly. Of the 14 professional opera companies in Canada, almost all have cancelled their current production and some the remainder of the season. This is an unprecedented crisis with long-reaching implications for the entire Canadian opera sector.
