ADOPTADOPT--AA--HIGHWAY HIGHWAY CLEANUP REPORTSCLEANUP REPORTS

ST. MARGARET’S BAY LST. MARGARET’S BAY LIONS CLUBIONS CLUB The St. Margaret’s Bay Lions Club had their cleanup in October and

were glad to have the help from 250 Vimy Air Cadets. For their clean-

up they had four Lions Club members, 11 Air Cadets and four leaders.

They collected 37 bags of garbage along Hammonds Plains Road, in

Upper Tantallon. They got together a/erwards and a good 0me was

had by all. The St. Margaret’s Bay Lions Club has a great record and

has carried out a cleanup almost every spring and fall since joining the

program in 2010!

NEW BEGINNINGS MINISNEW BEGINNINGS MINISTRIESTRIES New Beginnings Ministries is a new group that has adopted Highway

#7 in the Cherry Brook area. On their first cleanup they collected 30

bags of li7er and had 13 volunteers help out. They were not able to

complete the cleanup, so the next week they headed out again con-

centra0ng on the sidewalks and business parking lots. They had six

volunteers for their second cleanup and were able to complete the

route. In two days of clean-up, they collected 57 bags of garbage and

enough car parts to build something! We were happy to send along

t-shirts for their volunteers, and appreciated their efforts to work for

a second day to complete the route.

CAPE BRETON PARAMEDICAPE BRETON PARAMEDICS CS The Cape Breton Paramedics had perfect weather for the day

of their cleanup along Highway #4 in the Sydney River / Syd-

ney Forks area. Everything went real-

ly well! They had five keen volunteers

who collected 18 bags of litter over

the five kilo-

metres of

highway- a

marked de-

crease in the

amount of

trash. It

looks like

their previous

work is pay-

ing off!

ANNAPOLIS VALLEY ANNAPOLIS VALLEY

GEOCACHERSGEOCACHERS The Annapolis Valley Geocachers again had a great

turnout for their cleanup with 28 volunteers. They

were able to 0dy up Exit #17E in Kingston is less

than an hour.

AAH C-../0011AAH C-../0011 The AAH Commi7ee is a great group that gets together three 0mes a year to discuss issues related to li7er and oth-

er environmental issues. We recently met at the Sackville Lions Club and received updates from our members about ini0-

a0ves within their organiza0ons.

This picture was taken in the fall of 2015 but many of our members are s0ll the same. Pictured are Front Row: Shannon

Be7s (HRM), Coni Murray (Women’s Ins0tutes of

Nova Sco0a, Co-Chair), Ellen MacGillivary-

Simpson (Women’s Ins0tutes of Nova Sco0a, Co-

Chair), Wendy Owen (NS Lions-Environmental

Chair) Jan Deveaux (Sackville Lions Club). Back

Lions-former Environmental Chair), Darcey Mac-

Bain (Department of Transporta0on & Infrastruc-

ture Renewal), Charlynne Robertson (Clean Foun-

da0on), Nancy Veinot (Volunteer-at-Large).

Missing were Ashley David (Nova Sco0a Environ-

ment) and Dale Lyon (Divert NS). Our present

member for NS Lions-Environmental Chair is Tami

Maillet. The newest member of our commi7ee is

Sharon Hubley, TIR Baseperson representa0ve.

HUB CAMPERSHUB CAMPERS

Hub Campers’ fall cleanup was held in mid-October with 19 par0cipants. Alt-

hough a lot of their members are having issues with mobility, they help out in

other ways such as driving the truck to pick up the garbage or helping to pre-

pare the lunch when they are finished. The cleanup lasted about an hour.

This fall they only had 11 bags of garbage and one bag of recyclables, which

was down from the spring. Maybe this is a sign of good things to come and

that people are actually li7ering less.

LAURA LEE & GIL JOHNLAURA LEE & GIL JOHNSONSON

Laura Lee Johnson sent this picture along of her mini cleanup during her walks in South Brookfield,

Queens County. Laura Lee and her husband Gil do a more official cleanup in the spring and fall. Laura

Lee also picks up li7er on a regular basis during her walks. We have several volunteers who do this,

trying to keep their route and community neat and 0dy throughout the year. She had her grand-

daughter who was visi0ng from Calgary along for some fresh air, and a well deserved nap!

NEW GERMANY LIONS CLNEW GERMANY LIONS CLUB / WHITE POINT BEACH RESORTUB / WHITE POINT BEACH RESORT

New Germany Lions’ (pictured on the le/) Adopt-A Highway ini0a0ve took place in October with eight members of the

club helping out. Fortunately less than a dozen bags of garbage were collected along their route on Highway #10. This

was a reduc0on in the amount of li7er they picked up. The staff at White Point Beach Resort (pictured on the right) had a

cool day in November to clean their ten kilometer sec0on of Highway #3 and White

Point Beach Road.

They collected 49

bags of li7er and

two bags of recycla-

bles. Thanks to all

for their efforts!

Gina Bain, Pro-

gram Co-ordinator was

happy to travel to Yar-

mouth for an infor-

ma0on session hosted

by The Cape Forchu

Waterfront Group,

Waste Check, the Yar-

mouth Area Communi-

ty Fund, the Milton

Improvement Society and the local Women’s Ins0tutes. It

was held on Saturday March 25th at the NSCC campus.

The session was a chance for the public to learn more

about the AAH program and other community enhance-

ment programs available in the area. There were displays

from Waste Check, AAH, Women’s Ins0tutes of Nova Sco-

0a, Communi0es in Bloom, Ship to Shore Program and the

Great Nova Sco0a Pick-Me-Up. People also had a chance

to sign up for the Earth Day Challenge in Yarmouth. They

were encouraging the public to join the cleanup of un-

sightly li7er-filled area at the entrance to their beau0ful

town. Gina also did a presenta0on telling the public all

about the AAH program and how to join. We appreciate

the interest shown by these groups to help spread the

word about the AAH program, and encourage li7er clean-

ups in the Yarmouth and Digby areas.

Now that winter has come to an end, it’s 0me to

start thinking about your upcoming spring cleanup.

Here is a check list of items to help you prepare.

√ Discuss with your group the best day to perform the

cleanup.

√ Request an AAH Program Li7er Cleanup permit at

least one week before your cleanup from the local

TIR depot or office. They will arrange to have safety

vests, garbage bags, flagging tape and supplies

ready for your group.

√ On the day of the cleanup, review the safety guide-

lines with all members of your volunteer group.

√ Make sure the contact person for your group has a

copy of the permit with them during the cleanup.

√ Fill out the permit a/er your cleanup.

√ Return the vests and unused garbage bags, etc.

Keep a copy of the permit for your records, give the

Department of TIR depot a copy and send a copy to

the Adopt-A-Highway office. This is very im-

portant! This informa0on is essen0al for our rec-

ords, and is needed for your group to be included in

our newsle7er.

new procedure when contac0ng your

local depot or office to arrange for

your li7er cleanups this spring. The

Department of Transporta0on and

Infrastructure Renewal (TIR) now has

an Opera0ons Contact Centre (OCC) to

streamline calls and handle inquiries

more efficiently. When you call the number for your local

TIR base or office, it will be forwarded to the answering

service. They will then put you in touch with your local

depot/office. If the base staff is not available, the OCC will

have the depot return your call. If there are any problems

please feel free to contact our office and we would be

happy to assist with your arrangements. If it is conven-

ient, group representa0ves could drop by your local de-

pot, as well.

L/001< P/EFL/001< P/EF--:;:;

Arrangements can be made with your local Transporta0on

and Infrastructure Renewal depot to have your li7er

picked up a/er your

cleanup. They ask that

you place your trash in

an area that is out of

the way, like a side

woods road, or a park-

ing lot. They make

their best effort to

pick up the li7er on

Monday or Tuesday a/er the cleanup (if they do not pick it

up on the day of the cleanup). However, if a situa0on

arises that requires their a7en0on, it may be picked up

later in the week. Please keep this in mind when choosing

your site for the li7er.

We had a very produc0ve Fall Cleanup and our volunteers were out in full force to improve the appearance of their com-

muni0es. Through the efforts of 45 groups, 926 bags of garbage, and 70 bags of recyclables were collected. We had over

520 volunteers take part, and they cleaned up 203 kilometres of highway and seven interchange areas. We truly appreci-

ate their 0me and effort in picking up almost 15 tonnes of li7er across the province during the autumn and winter

months!

Our 12th annual Volunteer Informa0on Session

was held on Saturday, April 8th at the Joggins Fossil Cen-

tre. We were glad that the weather cooperated and our

volunteers had good travelling weather for our session in

a new area of the province. It was a great opportunity

to see their rela0vely new building and learn about the

unique quali0es of the surrounding area, which created

ideal condi0ons for fossil development.

Coni Murray, Co-Chair, of the AAH commi7ee,

welcomed everyone to the session. We had a terrific

turnout, and we were happy that 40 volunteers were

able to join us for the day.

Our program started with a tour of the Joggins

Fossil Centre (shown below), led by the Opera0ons Man-

ager, Jordan LeBlanc (pictured below with Co-chair Ellen

Simpson). We were impressed by the history of the area, and the beau0ful facility that is only eight years old. It helped

give us an understanding of age of the fossils and what a special and unique area that we have in our province.

Gina Bain, Program co-coordinator with the AAH program gave a recap of the cleanup results for 2016. There were

many highlights from the past year. Visitors to our website can now view a new map and see where the routes are for

our many groups across the province. She also recapped the Volunteer Recogni0on Awards, and the many groups and in-

dividuals that were recognized for their efforts within our program over

the past 23 years. She also let the volunteers know about the new Opera-

0ons Contact Centre for the Department of Transporta0on and Infrastruc-

ture Renewal as this will be a change when they call their local depots.

We were pleased to have Brenda Rioux, who is the Waste Reduc0on

Co-ordinator with the Cumberland Joint Services Management Authority,

join us for the session (shown overleaf, with AAH Commi7ee member

Nancy Veinot). Brenda gave an excellent overview of the many waste

management and recycling programs in Cumberland County. She pointed

out what programs are similar across the province, and explained the rea-

sons for the varia0ons. Brenda also gave details about the construc0on

of a landfill, and the environmental considera0ons that are involved. There were many ques0ons from the volunteers

about various items and how they should be handled in the waste reduc0on and recycling stream.

Our second presenter was Shannon Arnold- Marine Policy coordinator with the Ecology Ac0on Centre (EAC). Shan-

non (shown overleaf) shared the history and the many programs within the EAC’s mandate. The major divisions include

built environment, coastal & water, marine, food ac0on, transporta0on, and wilderness. One of their major projects was

renova0ng their building to make it much more environmentally friendly and energy efficient. Their marine program areas

include coastal livelihoods, sustainable fisheries and aquaculture, and fishery policy. She also discussed protected marine

areas. Shannon had informa0ve handouts which would help the consumer choose fish raised through responsible fishing

and farming prac0ces.

We were treated to a delicious lunch provided by the

Joggins Fossil Centre. The soup was delicious and there was

a wide variety of delicious freshly prepared sandwiches.

Unfortunately, Mary McPhee, who is the facili0es

manager for the Fundy Ocean Research Centre for Energy

(FORCE), was not able to join us for our conference. There

was unscheduled maintenance needed to the turbine that

required her a7en0on. She did send along a link to the

findings from the opera0on over the winter. Visitors are

welcome at their site near Parrsboro, and the VIS par0ci-

pants were supplied with this informa0on following the

event.

We had an enlightening 0me with our volunteers. We

had a volunteer round table where our par0cipants introduced

themselves and gave a summary about their group and why

they belong to the AAH program and any informa0on they

wanted to share. We also had a selec0on of groups that spoke

about their cleanup experiences. Ann Schweitzer from Is-

lands Women’s Ins0tute, (also related with Freeport Commu-

nity Development Associa0on) filled us in on their cleanup

efforts in the Long Island area. Les and Audrey Oliver repre-

sented Hub Campers, a group that has been in our program a long 0me. They have a great philosophy of leaving an area

cleaner than when they arrived. Brookfield Mens Club is one of several AAH groups in

their community, and they try to work together to coordinate their cleanups. Bob

Lawrence was the spokesperson from this group. Sue Paynter (shown below) from the

Rotary Club of Sackville and Area gave details about their interchange cleanup at the

entrance to their community.

A short but informa0ve tour of the fossil cliffs closed our session. Unfortunately

the weather condi0ons were less than ideal, but Jordan LeBlanc was able to show

those present the forma0ons that led to extensive fossil development in the cliffs.

All in all it was a informa0ve conference. We were glad that our volunteers

found the session interes0ng, and enjoyed the day. Joggins

Fossil Centre was a terrific venue, and we appreciated their hospitality. It was a fantas0c way

to get ready for the Spring Cleanup season!
