Burin Peninsula Regional Service Board Annual Report 2014 Burin Peninsula Regional Service Board 2014 Annual Report Message from the Chairperson The Burin Peninsula Regional Service Board is pleased to present this annual report, outlining work completed in the year ending December 31, 2014, in accordance with the Transparency and Accountability Act. This report focuses on work completed in the area of waste management, relating to our Business Plan for 2014-2016. I am pleased to report our Board continues to advance the Provincial Waste Management Strategy in the Burin Peninsula Region. 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.

Learning about our own part of the earth can help us get a better understanding of the world at large. Much of the information now available about our province is aimed at young readers and people with at least a high school education. The Hitch-Hiker is intended to provide information which beginning adult readers can read and understand. This work has a special feature we hope readers will appreciate and enjoy. Many of the places written about in this book are seen through the eyes of an adult learner and other fictional characters. These characters were created to help add a touch of reality to the printed page. We hope the characters and the things they learn and talk about also give the reader a better understanding of our province. Above all, we hope this book challenges your curiosity and encourages you to search for more information about our land.

    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. Background Information: In Telecom Decision CRTC 2017-35, dated 2 February 2017, the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) directed that relief for Newfoundland and Labrador area code 709 be provided through a Distributed Overlay using new area code 879. The new area code 879 has been assigned by the North American Numbering Plan Administrator (NANPA) and will be implemented as a Distributed Overlay over the geographic area of the province of Newfoundland and Labrador currently served by the 709 area code. The area code 709 consists of 211 Exchange Areas serving the province of Newfoundland and Labrador which includes the major communities of Corner Brook, Gander, Grand Falls, Happy Valley – Goose Bay, Labrador City – Wabush, Marystown and St.

    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.
