  • 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-’.

  • 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).

Every day, and in every community across the province, people of all ages and backgrounds give their time in service to others. This service takes its form in helping others who are less fortunate than ourselves or by advancing causes that improve the lives of our fellow Nova Scotians. Collectively, these activities and deeds demonstrate the compassion and caring that is so characteristic of our citizens. This extraordinary level of volunteerism also makes this province one of the finest places to live in Canada. We gather today to express our thanks for the valuable work of our volunteers. It is highly appropriate that their work is publicly lauded and that we demonstrate that we do not take for granted what they do for others. On behalf of the Queen, I offer my sincere gratitude and best wishes to the volunteers honoured today and all the volunteers across the province who contribute to the well- being of our communities. Nova Scotia Communities, Culture & Heritage is pleased to host the Provincial Volunteer Awards and would like to congratulate all award recipients. The Honourable Arthur J.

  • To the Honourable Labi Kousoulis, We Are Biologists And
    To the Honourable Labi Kousoulis, We are biologists and environmental scientists writing to express our concern with the potential development of the proposed Owls Head Provincial Park Reserve. Over the past 15 years, the Ecology of Plants in Communities lab at Saint Mary's University has worked with collaborating NGO and NS provincial government partners to describe and classify heathland ecosystems across Nova Scotia. We have included the proposed Owls Head Provincial Park Reserve in our field surveys. Our years of data reveal that Owls Head is ecologically unique and of importance to biodiversity conservation. Owls Head is characterized by repeating bedrock ridges that support a coastal barrens ecosystem. A globally rare heathland plant community occurs on the crests of the ridges and biodiverse bog wetlands predominate in the depressions between the ridges. This landscape pattern on the coast is only otherwise known from Blue Rocks, Lunenburg County, amidst residential developments with no conservation protection. Lakes, ponds, woodland, shrubland, beaches and various wetland habitats are also present at Owls Head and contribute to its conservation value. These conservation values and also the unique value of Owls Head to ecological research would be lost with its development as a golf course. Vegetation on the bedrock ridges of Owls Head is dominated by a shrub called Broom Crowberry (Corema conradii). Broom Crowberry is endemic to northeastern North America, meaning this species can be found nowhere else in the world. In Canada, this plant only occurs within the maritime provinces and Quebec and within that limited range, Broom Crowberry is only common in Nova Scotia.
