APPROVAL OF THE MINUTES – June 13, 2017 MOTION #MEDC-2017-JUL-11-2 It was moved by Councillor Sanford, seconded by Amy Barr, to approve the June 13, 2017 minutes as presented. Motion carried. 4. PUBLIC INPUT: N/A 5. PRESENTATIONS: N/A 6. BUSINESS ARISING i. Royan Visit Councillor Sanford discussed how great the dinner at the Queen Anne went. CAO Barr stated that there was not much to report, but it went over well and everyone seemed to have a good time. ii. Natal Day Committee – Councillor Sanford Councillor Sanford updated the committee on the planning for Natal Day weekend. The posters for the street dance are in and they are finishing up the ads in the booklet. They are also discussing paying for an individual’s salary at King’s Theatre to watch the washroom during the Street Dance as it would be cheaper than a Port-a-Potty and would provide more stalls. The Natal Day Committee is also still trying to figure out what is going on with the Soap-box race. Councillor Sanford also informed the committee that there is only one princess this year. iii. Canada Day Wrap Up The Committee discussed the success of the Canada Day activities. There were lots of people asking about fireworks and many left to go see them in Bridgetown. It may have been nice to maybe have the Friday beer garden go longer and potentially even fireworks. It was great to have such a big event on Town of Annapolis Royal Marketing and Economic Development Committee July 11, 2017 Canada Day compared to previous years. There was discussion on keeping the Community Kitchen Party in future years, but instead of offering free food to ask the local vendors to give out food to go (potentially with pre-orders to help it run smoothly). The music at the amphitheatre also went over very well. iv. Council Update - Town Crier & Music at the Amphitheatre The Committee was updated on the most recent Council meeting. The Town Crier was approved, as well as the charge for advertising. There was correspondence from the Board of Trade that was concerned as the free advertising was a perk for their members, Council then made a motion that Town Businesses would be given priority in the event of a waitlist. v. Workplan – Destination Marketing and BRE Strategies • Committee member Samantha Myhre brought up the Wine and Beer Festival as she does not believe there is enough time to get a celebrity involved. The Wineries are also very busy this time of year and don’t have time to talk and some of the breweries are full and busy. There was discussion that this may be better suited to next year when there is more time to plan and make it a better event. • CAO Barr listed the BRE high level goals and the committee decided to come up with ideas to discuss at the next meeting. • Chair Elliot mentioned maximizing federal/provincial funding opportunities and the communication of them • Expanding the Farmer’s Market was also discussed, and how we should take advantage of something we already have. There is also potential for a bigger space in the winter as there is currently not enough space. • There was discussion surrounding drawing in big employers and drawing in people that already have jobs. This may include tech jobs which require better internet, and it was thought to check other places in the Canada and United States to see how they handled bringing in FibreOp. There was also talk on the lack of office space available in Town. • Another idea was to encourage the movie industry locally as we have a lot to offer including heritage, accommodations, forests, lower expenses, etc. The downside is that the tax credit may hurt us. • There is also potential to encourage more fishing/fish market. There are just issues regarding legality and it may need to be investigated further. • There is also potential in having a promotion asking people to move back after they have been away. 7.

As we are twinned with Royan, France we have pursued the setting up of this student internship to try to benefit both towns. Lycee Cordouan Tourism Program internship opportunity is in May & June (for approximately 7 weeks) during their school coop, which is scheduled between the student’s first and second year. This coop timing does not coincide well with our tourist seasons and there is no flexibility with these dates, as prior to this the students are in class and after (July and August) they have secured employment necessary to support their following year. The only way to lengthening their internship to include July and August would be to include remuneration for their work – which then involves a different kind of international internship. The organizations that participated in the 2017 internship are the Annapolis Royal O’Dell House Museum and the Annapolis Royal Visitor Information Centre. The museum placements included the O’Dell House, North Hills and Sinclair Inn Museums. It was our pleasure to welcome, mentor and host Laura Frances and Morgan Plummer (both tourism students of Lycee Cordouan) in this year’s Annapolis Royal student internship. The students gained a valuable international experience in the tourism field. Included in this report is an overview of the internship duties, placements, expenses and twining background. I would like to thank all those who contributed to making this year’s internship a success. Sally O’Grady Annapolis Royal Twinning Committee Member 1 | P a g e MUSUEM WORK PLACEMENT DUTIES Annapolis Royal O’Dell House Museum Executive Director, Wayne Smith was the Museum work contact for the two students.

  • Closure of Important Parks Canada Archaeological Facility The
    July 19, 2017 For Immediate Release Re: Closure of Important Parks Canada Archaeological Facility The Newfoundland and Labrador Archaeological Society is saddened to learn of Parks Canada’s continuing plans to close their Archaeology Lab in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. This purpose-built facility was just opened in 2009, specifically designed to preserve, house, and protect the archaeological artifacts from Atlantic Canada’s archaeological sites under federal jurisdiction. According to a report from the Nova Scotia Archaeological Society (NSAS), Parks Canada’s continued plans are to shutter this world-class laboratory, and ship the archaeological artifacts stored there to Gatineau, Quebec, for long-term storage. According to data released by the NSAS, the archaeological collection numbers approximately “1.45 million archaeological objects representing thousands of years of Atlantic Canadian heritage”. These include artifacts from the province of Newfoundland and Labrador, including sites at Signal Hill National Historic Site, Castle Hill National Historic Site, L’Anse aux Meadows National Historic Site, Terra Nova National Park, Gros Morne National Park, and the Torngat Mountains National Park. An archaeological collection represents more than just objects—also stored at this facility are the accompanying catalogues, site records, maps and photographs. For Immediate Release Re: Closure of Important Parks Canada Archaeological Facility This facility is used by a wide swath of heritage professionals and students. Federal and provincial heritage specialists, private heritage industry consultants, university researchers, conservators, community groups, and students of all ages have visited and made use of the centre. Indeed, the Archaeology Laboratory is more than just a state-of-the-art artifact storage facility for archaeological artifacts—its value also lies in the modern equipment housed in its laboratories, in the information held in its reference collections, site records, and book collections, and in the collective knowledge of its staff.

  • Fort Beausejour National Historic Park Aulac, New Brunswick Canada
    Fort Beausejour National Historic Park Aulac, New Brunswick Canada Issued under the authority of the HONOURABLE ARTHUR LAING, P.C., M.P., B.S.A. Minister of Indian Affairs and Northern Development Original Earthen Bastion of French Period Fort Beausejour National Historic Park Aulac, New Brunswick At the middle of the 18th century the dividing line between French and British influence in Acadia lay along the Missaguash River, one of the four rivers that drain the southern slope of the Isthmus of Chignecto. In 1710 New England militiamen and British regulars had captured the French Port Royal, thus in one engagement effecting the conquest of the Nova Scotia main- land. The Treaty of Utrecht, concluded three years later, formally transferred Acadia to Great Britain. But what was Acadia? The British hopefully believed parts of what is now New Brunswick were included. The French, confident that they would soon win back the Nova Scotia mainland, could not consider such a broad definition of the geographical limits of Acadia. They were determined to hold as much ground as they could. Time seemed to be in their favor. Against the weak and ill-disciplined garrison at Annapolis Royal and the few detachments occupying isolated posts in the peninsula, the French could send Indian raiding parties. While the British struggled against the harassments of the Indians, the population of Acadia—over­ whelmingly French—could be provoked to at least passive resistance against their alien conquerors. French power preserved at the Fortress of Louisbourg on Cape Breton Island and at the settlements of New France along the St.

  • Cultural Assets of Nova Scotia African Nova Scotian Tourism Guide 2 Come Visit the Birthplace of Canada’S Black Community
    Cultural Assets of NovA scotiA African Nova scotian tourism Guide 2 Come visit the birthplace of Canada’s Black community. Situated on the east coast of this beautiful country, Nova Scotia is home to approximately 20,000 residents of African descent. Our presence in this province traces back to the 1600s, and we were recorded as being present in the provincial capital during its founding in 1749. Come walk the lands that were settled by African Americans who came to the Maritimes—as enslaved labour for the New England Planters in the 1760s, Black Loyalists between 1782 and 1784, Jamaican Maroons who were exiled from their home lands in 1796, Black refugees of the War of 1812, and Caribbean immigrants to Cape Breton in the 1890s. The descendants of these groups are recognized as the indigenous African Nova Scotian population. We came to this land as enslaved and free persons: labourers, sailors, farmers, merchants, skilled craftspersons, weavers, coopers, basket-makers, and more. We brought with us the remnants of our cultural identities as we put down roots in our new home and over time, we forged the two together and created our own unique cultural identity. Today, some 300 years later, there are festivals and gatherings throughout the year that acknowledge and celebrate the vibrant, rich African Nova Scotian culture. We will always be here, remembering and honouring the past, living in the present, and looking towards the future. 1 table of contents Halifax Metro region 6 SoutH SHore and YarMoutH & acadian SHoreS regionS 20 BaY of fundY & annapoliS ValleY region 29 nortHuMBerland SHore region 40 eaStern SHore region 46 cape Breton iSland region 50 See page 64 for detailed map.
