    article and photos by Jan Napier BLAZING THE TRAIL IN NOVA SCOTIA In Canada’s second ook up, way up, because Glooscap is a giant in Atlantic Canada’s Mi’kmaq culture. This almighty being was of such gargantuan proportions that the smallest province, a province of Nova Scotia was his bed and Prince Edward Island his pillow. larger-than-life demigod, Ancient legends of the mythical creator live on, and there’s no better place Lto explore them than the spectacular Glooscap Trail in northwestern Nova Scotia. over-the-top scenery and The trail stretches 227 miles, all told, but our itinerary focuses on a 125-mile the world’s highest tides segment between Truro and Joggins. It’s a laid-back, mostly coastal drive, beloved by those in the know. set the stage for RV The Mi’kmaq (pronounced Meeg-mah), an indigenous people native to travels on a grand scale Canada’s Maritime Provinces and the Gaspé Peninsula of Quebec, once lived freely in this region. Silas Tertius Rand, a Baptist missionary who traveled among the Mi’kmaq in the mid- to late-1800s, documented their stories featuring the heroic Glooscap. He “lived like other men ... but he never died, never was sick, never grew old,” wrote Rand. “He could do anything and everything.” Traveling RVers can learn more about Mi’kmaq myths and culture, and stand — dwarfed — beneath the demigod’s towering bronze likeness, at the Glooscap Heritage Centre, less than 5 miles from Truro in Millbrook. If you’re lucky, Climb Five Islands Lighthouse Program Director Gordon Pictou or a heritage interpreter will be on hand to for panoramic views of the Bay of Fundy, Minas Basin and the share some of the Mi’kmaq creation stories, like the one about Five Islands.

  • Aims 6Th Annual High School Report Card (Rc6)
    AIMS 6TH ANNUAL HIGH SCHOOL REPORT CARD (RC6) Nova Scotia High Schools Two years ago, a ruling by Nova Scotia’s Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Review Officer confirmed that the release of student achievement data was in the public interest. However, AIMS is still not able to report locally assigned exam grades or attendance in Nova Scotia schools, as some boards are still not able to access this information or simply refuse to do so. Following the closing of Queen Elizabeth High School in Halifax, last year’s top ranked school, we were assured a new school at the top of the rankings. Cape Breton Highlands Academy in Terre Noire jumped from third place in RC5 to take over the number one spot in the province, maintaining an ‘A-’ grade. Cape Breton Highlands was the only school in Nova Scotia to achieve an ‘A’ grade, with Charles P. Allen in Bedford also maintaining its ‘B+’ grade from last year to claim second spot in the rankings. Dalbrae Academy in Southwest Mabou saw its grade drop from an ‘A-’ to a ‘B+’ but still finished third overall. Several schools saw improvements of two grade levels. Rankin School of the Narrows and Pictou Academy-Dr. T. McCulloch School both improved from a ‘C+’ to a ‘B’ and finished eighth and ninth overall, respectively. Canso Academy (‘C’ to ‘B-’) and Annapolis West Education Centre (‘C’ to ‘B-’) also improved by two grade levels. Springhill Junior-Senior High School was the only school to see its grade decline more than two levels, falling from a ‘B-’ to a ‘C-’.

  • Simon Gibbons
    Simon Gibbons Simon Gibbons was the first Inuit priest in the Church of England. He was born on June 21, 1851 in Forteau, Labrador – about 13 km north east of the Quebec border. His mother died in childbirth. At five years old Simon was sent by the Anglican Missionary in Forteau to the Church of England Widows and Orphans Asylum (CEWOA) in St. John’s, Newfoundland. While there, he showed “intellect of no ordinary degree” and was placed in the Church of England Academy when he was nine. Two years later, Sophia Mountain, the Lady Superintendent of the orphanage (CEWOA) took Simon under her care. Then, when Simon was 15, she married Edward Field, the Bishop of Newfoundland in 1867. So, in just a few years, Simon went from being an orphan to the Bishop’s Court. Following his graduation from the Academy, Simon began to prepare to take an active part in the ministry of the Church. He became part of a group who trained and worked as Lay Readers, Teachers, and Catechists in Newfoundland’s outports. On one occasion during this time, he was leading a Sunday morning Service in the large kitchen of a fisherman’s house. It was packed with people, and Simon was standing in the place of honour by the roaring stove. Just as he began the sermon, the lady of the house stood up in her place, by the door, waving her raised hand. “Hold a minute, Parson!” she cried. Simon stopped. The lady continued, “Sal, the puddin’!” Sal, seated on the other side of the stove, arose, took from the dresser the Sunday dumpling in its cloth and popped it into the pot boiling on the stove.
