The first was in the electoral district of Sackville-Cobequid on June 18, 2019. The remaining three by-elections were held on September 3, 2019, in the electoral districts of Argyle-Barrington, Northside-Westmount, and Sydney River-Mira-Louisbourg. The Sackville-Cobequid by-election was called because of the resignation of Dave Wilson (NDP) as a Member of the Legislative Assembly on November 16, 2018. On May 15, 2019, pursuant to an Order of the Lieutenant Governor in Council, a writ of election was issued under the Elections Act (the Act) by Richard Temporale, Chief Electoral Officer (CEO), to the acting returning officer (RO) for the electoral district of Sackville-Cobequid, ordering that an election be held on Tuesday, June 18, 2019. On June 20, at the Official Addition, Steve Craig (PC) was determined to have the most votes. On Friday, June 28, 2019 he was declared elected with the return of the completed writ of election. On July 31, 2019, three Members of the Nova Scotia Legislative Assembly, Chris d’Entremont (PC), Eddie Orrell (PC), and Alfie MacLeod (PC), resigned from their seats to run in the October 2019 Federal election. This left vacancies in the electoral districts of Argyle-Barrington, Northside-Westmount, and Sydney River-Mira-Louisbourg. On August 2, 2019, pursuant to an Order of the Lieutenant Governor in Council, writs of election were issued under the Act by the CEO, to the ROs for these electoral districts ordering that elections be held on Tuesday, September 3, 2019. On September 5, at the Official Addition, the following candidates were determined to have the most votes and were declared elected with the return of the completed writs of election on Friday, September 13, 2019: • Argyle-Barrington – Colton LeBlanc (PC) • Northside-Westmount – Murray Ryan (PC) • Sydney River-Mira-Louisbourg – Brian Comer (PC) The CEO published an election calendar for each event, copies of which are shown in Appendix A. The calendars identify important dates such as date of writ, voting opportunities, close of nominations, election day and return of writ of election. This report contains the statement of votes, financial information, and statistics for all four by-elections. PROCEEDINGS OF BY-ELECTIONS IN 2019 1 Voting Opportunities Electors in all four by-elections had several voting opportunities available to cast their ballot. Voting was available prior to election day through write-in ballots, continuous polls at each returning office, and at advance polls. On election day voters could cast their ballot at their designated poll location or at their district’s returning office. Mobile polls were also held on election day to allow voters in residential centers better access and voting assistance if needed. In each by-election, applications for a write-in ballot were available to all electors upon the opening of the returning offices. Write-in ballot teams visited the homes of voters who could not make it to a poll location during the election period. A continuous poll was held at the returning office in each district during these by- elections. The continuous polls were available every day (except Sundays) from the opening of the returning offices through to election day. Advance polls were held for seven days as indicated in the election calendars in Appendix A. Advance poll locations were set up in each district except Sydney River-Mira- Louisbourg. For the by-elections in Argyle-Barrington, Northside-Westmount, and Sydney River-Mira- Louisbourg, electors could vote in any of the three districts prior to election day just like in a provincial general election (PGE). Table 1 provides a summary of the number of votes cast by each voting opportunity in each electoral district that held a by-election.

Revisions were made to the list throughout the by-elections. There are three versions of the list of electors certified by the returning officer. The preliminary list of electors must be certified by Day 22 of the election calendar (Appendix A) and may be distributed to nominated candidates. The revised list of electors is certified by Day 11, the first day of advance polls. The official list of electors is certified by Day 2 and is used at the election day polls. After the writ of election is returned, the final list of electors is completed and made available to the political parties that ran candidates and the newly elected members for each district. A personalized Voter Information Card (VIC) was mailed to each voter on the preliminary list.

  • Barriers to Fish Passage in Nova Scotia the Evolution of Water Control Barriers in Nova Scotia’S Watershed
    Dalhousie University- Environmental Science Barriers to Fish Passage in Nova Scotia The Evolution of Water Control Barriers in Nova Scotia’s Watershed By: Gillian Fielding Supervisor: Shannon Sterling Submitted for ENVS 4901- Environmental Science Honours Abstract Loss of connectivity throughout river systems is one of the most serious effects dams impose on migrating fish species. I examine the extent and dates of aquatic habitat loss due to dam construction in two key salmon regions in Nova Scotia: Inner Bay of Fundy (IBoF) and the Southern Uplands (SU). This work is possible due to the recent progress in the water control structure inventory for the province of Nova Scotia (NSWCD) by Nova Scotia Environment. Findings indicate that 586 dams have been documented in the NSWCD inventory for the entire province. The most common main purpose of dams built throughout Nova Scotia is for hydropower production (21%) and only 14% of dams in the database contain associated fish passage technology. Findings indicate that the SU is impacted by 279 dams, resulting in an upstream habitat loss of 3,008 km of stream length, equivalent to 9.28% of the total stream length within the SU. The most extensive amount of loss occurred from 1920-1930. The IBoF was found to have 131 dams resulting in an upstream habitat loss of 1, 299 km of stream length, equivalent to 7.1% of total stream length. The most extensive amount of upstream habitat loss occurred from 1930-1940. I also examined if given what I have learned about the locations and dates of dam installations, are existent fish population data sufficient to assess the impacts of dams on the IBoF and SU Atlantic salmon populations in Nova Scotia? Results indicate that dams have caused a widespread upstream loss of freshwater habitat in Nova Scotia howeverfish population data do not exist to examine the direct impact of dam construction on the IBoF and SU Atlantic salmon populations in Nova Scotia.

  • 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. Keywords: Canada, Cape Breton, historical cartography, island toponymy, placenames © 2016 – Institute of Island Studies, University of Prince Edward Island, Canada Introduction George Story’s paper The view from the sea: Newfoundland place-naming “suggests other complementary methods of collection and analysis” (1990, p.

    Canadian eview V olume 42, No. 4 Right to BaRe Arms Dress Guidelines in British Columbia’s Legislative Assembly p. 6 2 CANADIAN PARLIAMENTARY REVIEW/SUMMER 2019 There are many examples of family members sitting in parliaments at the same time. However, the first father-daughter team to sit together in a legislative assembly did not happen in Canada until 1996. That is when Sue Edelman was elected to the 29th Yukon Legislative Assembly, joining her re-elected father, Ivan John “Jack” Cable. Mr. Cable moved to the North in 1970 after obtaining degrees in Chemical Engineering, a Master’s in Business Administration and a Bachelor of Laws in Ontario. He practiced law in Whitehorse for 21 years, and went on to serve as President of the Yukon Chamber of Commerce, President of the Yukon Energy Corporation and Director of the Northern Canada Power Commission. He is also a founding member of the Recycle Organics Together Society and the Boreal Alternate Energy Centre. Mr. Cable’s entry into electoral politics came in 1992, when he successfully won the riding of Riverdale in East Whitehorse to take his seat in the Yukon Legislative Assembly. Ms. Edelman’s political presence had already been established by the time her father began his term as an MLA. In 1988, she became a Whitehorse city councillor, a position she held until 1994. In her 1991 reelection, she received more votes for her council seat than mayor Bill Weigand received. Following her time on city council, she was elected to the Selkirk Elementary School council. In the 1996 territorial election, she ran and won in the Riverdale South riding.

    East Bay Hills Wind Project Mi’kmaq Ecological Knowledge Study Prepared for: Cape Breton Hydro Inc. December 2012 – Version 1 M.E.K.S. Project Team Jason Googoo, Project Manager Dave Moore, Author and Research Craig Hodder, Author and GIS Technician Mary Ellen Googoo, MEKS Interviewer John Sylliboy, MEKS Traditionalist Prepared by: Reviewed by: ___________________ ____________________ Craig Hodder, Author Jason Googoo, Manager Executive Summary This Mi’kmaq Ecological Knowledge Study, also commonly referred to as an MEKS or a Traditional Ecological Knowledge Study (TEKS), was developed by Membertou Geomatics Solutions (MGS) on behalf of Cape Breton Hydro Inc. (CBHI) for the proposed East Bay Hills Wind Power Project. This MEKS mandate is to consider land and water areas which the proposed project will utilize, and to identify what Mi’kmaq traditional use activities have occurred, or are currently occurring within, and what Mi’kmaq ecological knowledge presently exists in regards to the area. In order to ensure accountability and ethic responsibility of this MEKS, the MEKS development has adhered to the “Mi’kmaq Ecological Knowledge Protocol”. This protocol is a document that has been established by the Assembly of Nova Scotia Mi’kmaq Chiefs, which speaks to the process, procedures and results that are expected of a MEKS. The Mi’kmaq Ecological Knowledge Study consisted of two major components: • Mi’kmaq Traditional Land and Resource Use Activities , both past and present, • A Mi’kmaq Significance Species Analysis , considering the resources that are important to Mi’kmaq use. The Mi’kmaq Traditional Land and Resource Use Activities component utilized interviews as the key source of information regarding Mi’kmaq use in the Project Site and Study Area.
