This report focuses on work completed in the area of waste management, relating to our Business Plan for 2014-2016.

Within 2014, among significant steps, our waste management service area expanded to include the municipalities of Marystown and Red Harbour, and the local service districts of Beau Bois, Jean de Baie, Rock Harbour, and Spanish Room. Our Board now provides municipal solid waste collection and disposal services for all areas from Red Harbour southward on the Burin Peninsula, and will be expanding again within the period of our existing business plan. As Chair, my signature indicates that all members of the Burin Peninsula Regional Service Board are accountable for the results reported in this document. We are collectively very pleased with our progress over the past year, and look forward to further enhancing our services for the region. _________________ Harold Murphy Chairperson, Burin Peninsula Regional Service Board 2 Burin Peninsula Regional Service Board 2014 Annual Report TABLE OF CONTENTS OVERVIEW 4 MANDATE 7 LINES OF BUSINESS 7 VISION 8 MISSION 8 SHARED COMMITMENTS 8 HIGHLIGHTS OF ACCOMPLISHMENTS 9 REPORT ON PERFORMANCE 10 OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGES AHEAD 15 APPENDIX A: 2014 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS APPENDIX B: LEGISLATED MANDATE 3 Burin Peninsula Regional Service Board 2014 Annual Report 1.0 Overview The Burin Peninsula Regional Service Board was appointed in July 2013 in accordance with the Regional Services Boards Act, 2012.

  • (PL-557) for NPA 879 to Overlay NPA
    Number: PL- 557 Date: 20 January 2021 From: Canadian Numbering Administrator (CNA) Subject: NPA 879 to Overlay NPA 709 (Newfoundland & Labrador, Canada) Related Previous Planning Letters: PL-503, PL-514, PL-521 _____________________________________________________________________ This Planning Letter supersedes all previous Planning Letters related to NPA Relief Planning for NPA 709 (Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada). In Telecom Decision CRTC 2021-13, dated 18 January 2021, Indefinite deferral of relief for area code 709 in Newfoundland and Labrador, the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) approved an NPA 709 Relief Planning Committee’s report which recommended the indefinite deferral of implementation of overlay area code 879 to provide relief to area code 709 until it re-enters the relief planning window. Accordingly, the relief date of 20 May 2022, which was identified in Planning Letter 521, has been postponed indefinitely. The relief method (Distributed Overlay) and new area code 879 will be implemented when relief is required.

  • Till Geochemical Surveys and Preliminary Quaternary Mapping of the Burin Peninsula and Adjacent Areas
    Current Research (2007) Newfoundland and Labrador Department of Natural Resources Geological Survey, Report 07-1, pages 197-214 TILL GEOCHEMICAL SURVEYS AND PRELIMINARY QUATERNARY MAPPING OF THE BURIN PENINSULA AND ADJACENT AREAS M.J. Batterson and D.M. Taylor Geochemistry, Geophysics and Terrain Sciences Section ABSTRACT A regional till geochemistry survey was completed on the Burin Peninsula. Till was sampled at a density ranging from 1 sample per 1 km2 in areas of good access, to 1 sample per 4 km2, where helicopter-support was required; 748 samples were collected during this survey to supplement 914 samples collected in adjacent areas in 2005. In addition, 135 newly recorded ice-flow indicators were recorded and mapped to reconstruct the palaeo ice-flow history of the survey area; the reconstruc- tion was supplemented by geomorphic data shown on the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) image for the area. Striation and landform evidence confirm that a regional southward (south to southeastward) ice-flow event, which cov- ered the entire study area, crossed the Burin Peninsula. The striations are generally fresh and unweathered, although some weathered facets were noted. The consistency of flow patterns across the area suggests that they are of the same age as those interpreted as late Wisconsinan in central and eastern Newfoundland; this ice flow produced most of the glacial streamlined landforms in the area. The southward ice flow was followed by a regionally extensive westward (southwest to northwest) ice flow that crossed the Burin Peninsula from Placentia Bay to Fortune Bay. The evidence for this event is crossing striations; however, the source of this ice flow remains uncertain.

This third annual report produced by Small Craft Harbours Branch, Newfoundland Region, covers the major activities of the Branch for the fiscal year 1985/86. During the fiscal year continuing efforts were made towards planning of the Small Craft Harbours Program to better define and priorize projects, and to maximize the socio-economic benefits to the commercial fishing industry. This has been an on-going process and additional emphasis was placed on this activity over the past three years.
