Provincial parks provide access to some of the most beautiful parts of Nova Scotia. Our beaches, lakes, trails, and campgrounds will allow you to relax and enjoy nature. As we begin the 2021 park operating season, we want to thank those who visited provincial parks in 2020. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we all adapt to new rules and changes to how our park facilities operate. Our COVID-19 measures worked well to keep our staff and park visitors safe. Despite a delayed opening, parks were popular destinations in 2020. We heard visitors felt a sense of normalcy while at our parks. Going forward, please be aware that park operations will need to be flexible to change as Melmerby Beach Provincial Park guidance from public health changes. This could mean a reduction in services available at parks, campsite closures or other localized restrictions. Please visit our website for the most up-to-date information on COVID-19 impacts on parks: parks.novascotia.ca The goal of Nova Scotia Provincial Parks is to sustain a diverse system of parks, beaches and trails that protect natural and cultural values while providing nature-based recreation experiences. We continue to modernize parks to ensure high quality and reliable services at parks. Completed infrastructure projects include: • mobility accessible, gender neutral washroom facility at The Islands • mobility accessible park office with a gender neutral washroom at Blomidon • mobility accessible gender neutral public washroom at Battery Park Office • accessible campsites and camper shelter at Amherst Shore • water system upgrades at Blomidon, Ellenwood Lake, Graves Island and Mira River • campsites upgraded with water and electrical service at Caribou-Munroes Island, Ellenwood Lake and Valleyview • accessible beach equipment (roll out boardwalk and chair) at Melmerby Beach • platform with change houses and vault toilet at Lawrencetown Beach In 2021, we look forward to opening a new trail at Cape Split with multiple look-offs on the Scots Bay side. Parking capacity will be increased at Crystal Crescent. This season we are conducting a visitor experience survey to better understand what attracts people to Nova Scotia Parks and how we can improve. See page 45 for more details on the survey and how to participate. Follow us on Facebook and Instagram to see photos and stay engaged with what’s going on at parks.

  • On the Origin of Skilled Forelimb Movements
    TINS August 2000 20/7/00 12:09 pm Page 372 R EVIEW On the origin of skilled forelimb movements Andrew N. Iwaniuk and Ian Q. Whishaw Homologizing behaviour was once considered unreliable, but the application of modern comparative methods has been shown to provide strong evidence of behavioural homologies. Skilled forelimb movements were thought to originate in the primate lineage but in fact are common among tetrapod taxa and probably share a common origin in early tetrapods. Furthermore, skilled movements are likely to have been derived from, and elaborated through, food-handling behaviour.In addition,it is now thought that the role played by the lateral and medial descending pathways of the spinal cord in the execution of skilled forelimb movements could be synergistic, rather than the exclusive responsibility of an individual pathway.

Project Team Jason Googoo, Project Manager Rosalie Francis, Project Advisor Dave Moore, Author and Research Craig Hodder, Author and GIS Technician Andrea Moore, Research and Database Assistant Katy McEwan, MEKS Interviewer Mary Ellen Googoo, MEKS Interviewer Lawrence Wells Sr., MEKS traditionalist Prepared by: Reviewed by: ___________________ ____________________ Dave Moore, Author Jason Googoo, Manager i Executive Summary This Mi’kmaq Ecological Knowledge Study, also commonly referred to as MEKS or a TEKS, was developed by Membertou Geomatics Consultants for the Nova Scotia Department of Energy and Minas Basin Pulp and Power Co Ltd on behalf of the Fundy Ocean Research Centre for Energy (FORCE). In January 2008, the Province of Nova Scotia announced that Minas Basin Pulp and Power Co Ltd. had been awarded the opportunity to construct a tidal energy testing and research facility in the Minas Basin, known as the Fundy Tidal Energy Demonstration Facility. This Facility will be managed by a non-profit corporation called FORCE. The objectives of this study are twofold; - to undertake a broad MEKS study for the Bay of Fundy Phase I Area as it may relate to future renewable energy projects i.e. wind, tidal and wave, specifically in Phase 1 area of the Bay of Fundy ( as identified in MGC Proposal - Minas Channel and Minas Basin), and - to undertake a more focused MEKS review specific to the Fundy Tidal Energy Demonstration Project area which would consider the land and water area potentially affected by the project, identify what is the Mi’kmaq traditional use activity that has or is currently taking place within the Project Site and Study Area and what Mi’kmaq ecological knowledge presently exists in regards to the Project Site and Study Area.
