Anne has multiple sclerosis and from her wheelchair expresses her feelings through painting. Her soft, fluid pastels create a sense of calm and contentment, while vibrant splashes of colour convey energy and excitement. Her greatest triumphs come when her paintings evoke special feelings. Many of her commissioned watercolours hang as memorials in Maritime hospitals, while her work is owned also by corporate and academic institutions and individual collectors from around the world. Notable amongst her published work is Grand Pré Rose Garden, which graces the first cover in the Remember When book series. Active in the art world, Anne is a leader in several local associations, frequently teaches and leads workshops, and exhibits at regional galleries. © Her Majesty the Queen in Right of Canada, 2004-06-08 Cat.

Box 1006 Dartmouth, Nova Scotia Canada B2Y 4A2 BIO website address: www.bio.gc.ca Introduction The Bedford Institute of Oceanography (BIO) is a major oceanographic research facility, established in 1962 by the Government of Canada and located on the shores of the Bedford Basin in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. Over the last four decades it has grown to become Canada’s largest centre for ocean research. Scientists at BIO perform targeted research, mandated by the Canadian government, to provide advice and support to government decision- making on a broad range of ocean issues including sovereignty, defence, environmental protection, health and safety, fisheries, and natural resources. They also undertake environmental planning and oceans management. Fisheries and Oceans Canada is represented by five divisions within its Science Branch, the Canadian Hydrographic Service (CHS), two divisions of the Oceans and Environment Branch, the Aquaculture Coordination Office, and by the Canadian Coast Guard for technical and vessel support. Together they provide scientific knowledge and advice on issues related to climate, oceans, the environment, marine and diadromous fish, marine mammals, shellfish, and marine plants. As well, they carry out oceans and environmental manage- ment and planning. Natural Resources Canada is represented by the Geological Survey of Canada (GSC) -Atlantic, Canada’s principal marine geoscience facility. Its scientific research expertise focuses on marine and petroleum geology, geophysics, geochemisty, and geotechnology. GSC Atlantic is also the source of integrated knowledge and advice on Canada’s coastal and offshore landmass. National Defence Canada (DND’s) Route Survey Office of Maritime Forces Atlantic, located at BIO, supports ocean surveillance activities. Surveys are conducted in areas of the sea floor of specific interest to DND, in coop- eration with CHS and GSC Atlantic. In support of the Canadian Shellfish Sanitation Program, the Shellfish Section of Environment Canada conducts sanitary and water quality surveys and analyzes the samples at the microbiology laboratory at BIO. Altogether, approximately 650 scientists, engineers, technicians, managers, support staff, contractors, and others from a variety of disciplines, work at BIO. This review highlights some of the ongoing research activities at the Institute as well as some of the activities dealing with the management of the oceans.

Not only must the department take action to ensure that fish and marine mammal resources of the North are protected from the various forms of industrial encroachment and are not over-exploited, but it also has a responsibility for producing adequate marine navigation charts for northern waters as well as acquiring the necessary marine science expertise to advise industry and other government departments in many critical areas. The following pages provide a summary of DFO's activities north of 60° during the fiscal year 1979-80, and preview activities for 1980-81. This text will appear as part of the annual publication "Government Activities in the North", produced by the Advisory Committee on Northern Development. GOVERNMENT ACTIVITIES IN THE NORTH - 1979-80 Department of Fisheries and Oceans Responsibilities The department is responsible for fisheries research and management throughout the Canadian North, drawing its authority from several acts, including the significant Fisheries Act. The department implements oceanographic and hydrographic programs and coordinates ocean policies and programs of the federal government.

  • Rare Vascular Plant Surveys in the Polletts Cove and Lahave River Areas of Nova Scotia
    Rare Vascular Plant Surveys in the Polletts Cove and LaHave River areas of Nova Scotia David Mazerolle, Sean Blaney and Alain Belliveau Atlantic Canada Conservation Data Centre November 2014 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This project was funded by the Nova Scotia Department of Natural Resources, through their Species at Risk Conservation Fund. The Atlantic Canada Conservation Data Centre appreciates the opportunity provided by the fund to have visited these botanically significant areas. We also thank Sean Basquill for mapping, fieldwork and good company on our Polletts Cove trip, and Cape Breton Highlands National Park for assistance with vehicle transportation at the start of that trip. PHOTOGRAPHY CREDITS All photographs included in this report were taken by the authors. 1 INTRODUCTION This project, funded by the Nova Scotia Species at Risk Conservation Fund, focused on two areas of high potential for rare plant occurrence: 1) the Polletts Cove and Blair River system in northern Cape Breton, covered over eight AC CDC botanist field days; and 2) the lower, non-tidal 29 km and selected tidal portions of the LaHave River in Lunenburg County, covered over 12 AC CDC botanist field days. The Cape Breton Highlands support a diverse array of provincially rare plants, many with Arctic or western affinity, on cliffs, river shores, and mature deciduous forests in the deep ravines (especially those with more calcareous bedrock and/or soil) and on the peatlands and barrens of the highland plateau. Recent AC CDC fieldwork on Lockhart Brook, Big Southwest Brook and the North Aspy River sites similar to the Polletts Cove and Blair River valley was very successful, documenting 477 records of 52 provincially rare plant species in only five days of fieldwork.

  • Placenaming on Cape Breton Island 381 a Different View from The
    Placenaming on Cape Breton Island A different view from the sea: placenaming on Cape Breton Island William Davey Cape Breton University Sydney NS Canada [email protected] ABSTRACT : George Story’s paper A view from the sea: Newfoundland place-naming suggests that there are other, complementary methods of collection and analysis than those used by his colleague E. R. Seary. Story examines the wealth of material found in travel accounts and the knowledge of fishers. This paper takes a different view from the sea as it considers the development of Cape Breton placenames using cartographic evidence from several influential historic maps from 1632 to 1878. The paper’s focus is on the shift names that were first given to water and coastal features and later shifted to designate settlements. As the seasonal fishing stations became permanent settlements, these new communities retained the names originally given to water and coastal features, so, for example, Glace Bay names a town and bay. By the 1870s, shift names account for a little more than 80% of the community names recorded on the Cape Breton county maps in the Atlas of the Maritime Provinces . Other patterns of naming also reflect a view from the sea. Landmarks and boundary markers appear on early maps and are consistently repeated, and perimeter naming occurs along the seacoasts, lakes, and rivers. This view from the sea is a distinctive quality of the island’s names.

By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risk and uncertainty because they depend on the occurrence of future events and circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from those reflected in forward-looking statements due to multiple factors. 2 LETTER TO STAKEHOLDERS The year 2018 has been an important one for Prysmian Group, with the acquisition of General Cable and the rapid start to its integration. This union has secured the Group's global leadership in the energy and telecom cables and systems industry, with the ultimate strength in its ability to create innovation and develop new solutions that generate value for our customers. The introduction of the new integrated organisation has been completed in record time, giving birth to a new Group present in over 50 countries, with 112 plants, 25 R&D centres and approximately 29,000 employees, a multicultural and diversified human universe which I regard as the Group's most important asset.
