These laws are subject to change at any time and are available online at novascotia.ca/natr/wildlife/laws/actsregs.asp For detailed information please see our website at novascotia.ca/natr/hunt Report illegal hunting and/or trapping to your local Lands and Forestry Office or call 1-800-565-2224 Honourable Chuck Porter Minister Paul LaFleche Deputy Minister Please help the environment. Recycle this book. 2 Message from the Minister Today, as in the past, hunting and trapping continue to be a valued, safe, and important part of the heritage of Nova Scotia. Currently, approximately 140,000 Nova Scotians have Wildlife Resources Cards which allow them to engage in these and other outdoor activities. Nova Scotia began offering the Becoming an Outdoors-Woman® (BOW) program in 1997, with a primary focus of assisting women in learning outdoor skills associated with hunting, fishing, and other outdoor pursuits. We are pleased to see the number of women becoming involved in these activities continues to rise in our province. Young Nova Scotians are also getting involved in hunting and trapping through mentored programs. For example, the early youth season for hunting deer provides qualified young hunters the opportunity to be introduced to hunting activities, and to gain experience under the direct supervision of experienced adult hunters. Nova Scotians, including hunters and trappers, care deeply about environmental health and the protection of wildlife habitats. Each year hunters and trappers contribute an average of ~$200,000 to the Nova Scotia Habitat Conservation Fund to support biodiversity conservation and research, through the purchase of Wildlife Habitat Stamps. Hunters and trappers also play an important role in effective wildlife management through the reports and biological samples they submit each year, which provide valuable information to inform wildlife management decisions. Hunters throughout the province continue to contribute donated wild meat to Feed Nova Scotia through the Hunters Helping the Hungry Program. These donations have provided over 10,000 servings of quality high protein meals for Nova Scotians in need. As we begin the 2021 season, I remind you to respect the rights of private landowners and to follow current public health guidelines when hunting to help reduce the spread of COVID-19. This booklet provides you with an outline of the fees, bag limits, season dates, a summary of regulations, and other important information for the 2021 hunting season. Please review it carefully. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact your local Department of Lands and Forestry office. 3 On behalf of the Department of Lands and Forestry, I wish you a safe and successful hunting and fur-harvesting season. Sincerely, Chuck Porter, Minister of Lands and Forestry Significant Changes for 2021 1. Changes to the weapons legal to hunt bears in moose zones 2, 3, and 4 from September 13th until October 9th, refer to page 32 for the Ministerial Order. 2. After 10 years, we have decided to suspend our voluntary collection of trapped coyotes. We would like to thank all those who submitted animals for this program. 3. The number of antlerless deer stamps have increased in several Deer Management Zones to help control deer populations and to mitigate the spread of a parasitic brainworm that is transmitted from deer to moose, where it can be fatal and impact overall moose herd health. Refer to page 58 for more information on antlerless deer stamps. 4. Bobcat carcasses must be turned in and pelts stamped at the appropriate DLF office. (see Furbearer Specimens To Be Turned In page 45) COVID-19 Nova Scotians need to follow current social distancing guidelines when hunting to help reduce the spread of COVID-19. This means limiting your contact with other people and staying 2 metres (6 feet) away from them, not travelling long distances, adhering to group gathering limits and practising good hygiene. Hunters need to determine if they can hunt within those guidelines. This information is provided as general guidance and is considered accurate as of June 2021. Changes to restrictions continue to evolve. Stay informed by visiting novascotia.ca/ coronavirus/ for the most up to date public heath information before you begin your hunt. This could also affect programs and services offered by the department for this year’s hunt. Check our website novascotia.ca/natr/hunt/ for updates. 4 Attention Nova Scotia Trail Camera Users!

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.

  • 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-’.

    DISCUSSION PAPER Socioeconomic Analysis Of Designating Wilderness Areas DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENT PROVINCE OF NOVA SCOTIA PROJECT NO. 1038026 REPORT NO. 1038026 REPORT TO Protected Areas Branch Environmental & Natural Areas Management Division Department of Environment 5151 Terminal Road Halifax, NS B3J 2P8 ON Socioeconomic Analysis of Designating Wilderness Areas within the Blue Mountain- Birch Cove Lakes, Ship Harbour Long Lake and Shelburne River Crown Parcels December 4, 2008 Jacques Whitford 3 Spectacle Lake Drive Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, B3B 1W8 Phone: 902-468-7777 Fax: 902-468-9009 www.jacqueswhitford.com EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The planning, designation, and management of Nova Scotia’s Wilderness Areas (WAs) are the responsibility of the Department of Environment (NSE). This may be done in partnership with other agencies and through agreements with non-government organizations. In 1998, 31 areas were designated under the Wilderness Areas Protection Act (1998, c.27, amended 2005, c.56, s.18) (the Act). Two additional areas, Gully Lake and Eigg Mountain-James River WAs, were designated in 2005. In total, the 33 WAs protect approximately 295,400 hectares (ha), which represents approximately 5.3% of the land area of Nova Scotia. When all categories of legally protected land are considered, approximately 8.2% of Nova Scotia is protected. The Environmental Goals and Sustainability Act (2007, c.7) focuses on the health of the environment, economy, and people of Nova Scotia. The legislation’s major objective is for Nova Scotia to have one of the cleanest, most sustainable environments while achieving economic prosperity equal to or greater than the national average (Government of Nova Scotia 2008).

Martin, Language Unlimited, under contract to the Atomic Energy Control Board. ABSTRACT Seismic risk assessment in the Maritime Provinces requires input from not just historical, but also geological sources. A detailed search through published and unpublished geological literature reveals many examples - some probable, some possible — of neotectonic movement in the area. Examples range in tectonic significance from those that reflect exaggerated local imbalance to those that signify deep-seated stress. Evidence for neotectonism in the Maritimes is multidisciplined. It includes deformation in bedrock and quaternary deposits, and regional warping. Recent movement also is indicated by changes in relative sea level, in situ stress fields and geodetic fluctuations. Finally, and most unequivocally, neotec- tonism in the Maritime Provinces is manifested as the seismic events that have sporadically affected the area throughout its recent geological history, and continue up to the present day. RESUME L1evaluation du risque de seisme dans les provinces maritimes necessite l'ap- port de sources non seulement historiques, mais geologiques. Une recherche detaillee de la documentation publiee et inedite en geologie a revele plu- sieurs exemples probables ou possibles de mouvement neotectonique dans la region.
