Box 8700, Confederation Building St. John’s, NL A1B 4J6 Dear Minister Jackman: Effective September 1, 2013 the four English Language School Boards were consolidated into the Newfoundland and Labrador English School Board. The respective Chairpersons for the former boards were: Goronwy Price (Labrador), Don Brown (Western), John George (Nova Central) and Milton Peach (Eastern). The annual report for each school district was prepared in accordance with the Board’s requirements as a category one entity under the Transparency and Accountability Act, and was finalized after September 1, 2013. Therefore, it is my pleasure to present the Annual Report for 2012-2013 on behalf of the former Nova Central School Board. This report provides a balanced summary of the efforts and accomplishments of the Nova Central School Board in respect to the goals that are articulated in its strategic plan 2011- 2014, which addressed four areas: Student academic achievement, student retention, safe and caring schools and school leadership. The Nova Central School Board’s commitment to students and to learning is affirmed by the contents of the Annual Report. I want to thank our trustees and staff who have served the former school board and our students since 2005.

  • 19 Century Newfoundland Outport Merchants the Jersey Room, Burin
    19th century Newfoundland outport merchants The Jersey Room, Burin, c. 1885, S.H. Parsons photo (GPA collection). submitted to Provincial Historic Commemorations Program Dept. Business, Tourism, Culture & Rural Development P.O. Box 8700 St. John's, NL A1E 1J3 submitted by Robert H. Cuff Historian/Writer Gerald Penney Associates Limited PO Box 428, St. John’s, NL A1C 5K4 10 November 2014 Executive Summary In their impact on Newfoundland and Labrador’s economic development, patterns of settlement, and community life, 19th century outport merchants made a significant historic contribution. Their secondary impact, on the Province’s political and cultural development, may be less obvious but was nonetheless vital. Each merchant had a demonstrable impact beyond his home community, in that each supplied nearby communities. Although a merchant’s commercial home sphere was typically in the headquarters bay or region, the majority of the outport merchants were also involved in both fishing and in supplying planters/ fishers in migratory or vessel-based fisheries elsewhere: the Labrador and French Shore fisheries; the seal hunt; and the western boat and Bank fisheries of the south coast. For the purposes of this review it was found helpful to draw a distinction between “resident outport merchants” who lived the full range of their adult lives in rural Newfoundland and the “merchant gentry” whose outport residency was an episode in their business and family life which was otherwise substantially spent in the Old Country or in St. John’s. The resident group may be more worthy of consideration for the Province’s commemoration program. Existing commemorations tend to favour the merchant gentry.
