PORT BICKERTON & AREA PLANNING ASSOCIATION RECEIVES FEDERAL FUNDING FOR INFRASTRUCTURE UPGRADES

Submitted Article

The Port Bickerton & Area Planning Association

will benefit from upgrades to the Nova Scotia

Lighthouse Interpretive Centre, as a result of an

investment of more than $10,000 from the Gov-

ernment of Canada.

Today’s announcement was made by Sean Fra-

ser, Member of Parliament for Central Nova, on

behalf of the Honourable Navdeep Bains, Minis-

ter of Innovation, Science and Economic Develop-

ment, and Minister responsible for the Atlantic

Canada Opportunities Agency (ACOA).

This funding will go towards replacing the siding

and exterior trim on the interpretive facility. The

total renovations cost approximately $30,000,

with $4,000 contributed by the Municipality of

the District of St. Mary’s, and the remainder

through fundraising by the association.

The Nova Scotia Lighthouse Interpretive Centre,

which opened in 1997, is open seven days a

week, operating from July 1 to September 30

each year. The centre is an educational and re-

source tool for information and history about the

lighthouse, and lighthouses throughout Nova

Scotia. It occupies the restore second lighthouse,

which was built in 1930 and the nearby light

keeper’s residence, which was built in 1960. The

Centre has been enhanced further with 3.7 kilo-

meters of nature trails, and the entire site now

forms part of the Port Bickerton Lighthouse

Beach Park.

This investment is being allocated under the Can-

ada 150 Community Infrastructure Program, a

$300-million fund that was established to cele-

brate Canada’s 150th birthday through invest-

ments in the community spaces that bring Cana-

dians together.

Quotes:

“This investment is a community-building project

to celebrate Canada’s 150th anniversary. And

there’s no better way to mark this milestone than

to celebrate the places that bring us together—

the places that allow us to stay fit, unwind and

connect with our friends and neighbours. That’s

how we establish the bonds of common under-

standing and friendship in a country where peo-

ple come from every corner of the world. The

values of openness, diversity and inclusion that

define all Canadians are forged in our community

spaces..”

- The Honourable Navdeep Bains, Minister of

Innovation, Science and Economic Development

and Minister responsible for ACOA

“This investment celebrates our coastal heritage

and will help preserve it for future generations to

enjoy. Infrastructure investments such as these

have unquantifiable spin-off benefits that make

our home a better place to live.

Sagittarius (Nov 22-Dec 21)

Capricorn (Dec 22-Jan 19)

You are optimistic, hopeful, and forward-looking at this

time. You now can see connections and possibilities

that you may have overlooked earlier.

Aquarius (Jan 20-Feb 18)

If you tend to follow well marked roads you are more

likely to not get lost. Stick to the tried and true and

don't experiment for the moment.

Pisces (Feb 19-Mar 20)

Your intuition is heightened which benefits any creative

or artistic work you may want to do. Those around you

find you are quite witty lately.

Aries (Mar 21-Apr 19)

Take time to disconnect from the daily grind and enjoy

yourself. Satisfaction comes from letting things happen

for a moment and enjoying all the blessings that sur-

round you.

Taurus (Apr 20-May 20)

When something feels wrong it just may be wrong. If

something feels right it could be just that. When you

trust your instincts they tend not to fail you.

Gemini (May 21-Jun 20)

A fulfillment of an earlier promise can come out of the

blue and your bright sparks will be the most alluring

energy for others. Let your light shine.

Cancer (Jun 21-Jul 22)

Leo (Jul 23-Aug 22)

You have an abundance of physical energy and self-

confidence right now and can take on new projects and

challenges with great ease.

Virgo (Aug 23-Sep 22)

Be careful you don't entangle yourself in social con-

flicts that have nothing to do with you. It is not your

battle to win or lose.

Scorpio (Oct 23-Nov 21)

You may be afraid of being honest with a friend but you

may be surprised at just what can be achieved through

a little straight forwardness.

This is an excellent time to investigate a complex prob-

lem and look for something that has been lost or hid-

den. You may find you will learn more about your own

inner depths at this time.

Libra (Sep 23-Oct 22)

You may find support from elements that might other-

wise pull away. Do not rock the boat. The boat will take

you to where you want to go in the future.

Student Reflects on Meaningful Work Experience with StFX Extension Innovation and Enterprise Centre

Submitted Article

Working with the StFX

Extension Innovation

and Enterprise Centre

has been a deeply

gratifying experience.

Being in the entrepre-

neurship program at

StFX I have always

had an interest in the

entrepreneurial eco-

system that assists

individuals in realizing

their business poten-

tial. I have also had a

keen interest in com-

munity development

and the benefits cre-

ated when individuals

come together and

work toward a com-

mon cause. Working

with StFX Extension

allowed me to com-

bine these two inter-

ests and view them

as they play out in

real life. I was able to

work alongside deeply

devoted innovators

and community lead-

ers and experience

these two worlds.

While my official posi-

tion with the Innova-

tion and Enterprise Centre (IEC) was “Marketing,

Communications, and Events Coordinator”, I was

able to express my inner creativity and propose

ideas for new initiatives and partnerships. For

example, I developed and delivered the Summer

Launch program, an initiative that provides a

grant to students in grades 7-12 to start their

own business in the summer months. I was also

able to contribute to the design and coordination

of the Leadership Development Conference and

a broader partnership between StFX University

and 4-H Nova Scotia. These two activities not

only brought me out into the community, they

also allowed me to explore my own entrepreneur-

ial talents and practice the skills I learned in the

classroom to effect real change in my surround-

ings.

This position also changed my perception of the

Antigonish community and the employees of

StFX. By working alongside community volun-

teers, I feel as though I have become more con-

nected with the people of Antigonish and I feel

more imbedded in the local community. As well,

by working at StFX I have gained a better under-

standing of how diverse the campus really is and

how many things go on behind the curtains –

outside of a regular students’ perception.

Through my work at StFX Extension I have helped

to increase the visibility of the Department’s

various areas of expertise, most especially the

Innovation and Enterprise Centre. I was sur-

prised to learn just how many opportunities and

programs exist at the Centre that allow students

to generate ideas for social change or business

ventures, provide meaningful learning opportuni-

ties, and connect students to the broader Antig-

onish community.

In a previous edition of this newsletter, Sam Gan

and Mitch Allen remarked on their ability to oper-

ate a business in lieu of traditional work term.

The Innovation and Enterprise Centre is working

to provide an “Entrepreneurial” co-op experience

in the coming semesters alongside the current

marketing and events coordinator position. As

well, the Centre is always available to consult

with any StFX student or member of the public

who is interested in starting or expanding their

business.

The Extension Department is a fantastic environ-

ment to work in and I encourage all students to

explore the many ways to get involved in its pro-

gramming. This opportunity has deepened my

interest in the entrepreneurial ecosystem and

the social sector of the Maritimes.

Jordan MacDonald completed an eight month work term with the StFX Extension Innovation and Enterprise Centre. He

worked with the Centre from January to August, 2017.

Caleb Peters worked hard this summer offer-ing lawn care services to members of his com-munity. He was able to meet new customers with the help of his family’s connections and promoting the business on social media. Caleb also used email to communicate with his pro-spective clients and set up times to provide his services. As Caleb is too young to work a full summer job he found starting a business to be a great way to spend his time and be active in the community. When coming up with his busi-ness idea he thought back to the various activ-

ities that he had done in the past and the re-sources he had at hand to come up with “Caleb’s Lawns and More”. Running a business for the summer came with many ups and downs, but Caleb was prepared for these events and anticipated there would be challenges along the way. One of the big-gest things he learned by operating his busi-ness was self-discipline and that you really have to focus on your goals in order to make the activity successful. Caleb is very pleased with how his summer

went and is proud of his accomplishments. He received many compliments on his work throughout the summer which made him feel good about himself and the work he was do-ing. He is also pleased with the new skills that he learned such as changing the oil in his lawnmower and getting the word out about his business. In the future Caleb plans on explor-ing other entrepreneurial activities and contin-uing to work on building his personal brand. Contact: [email protected]
