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.

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

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.

Over 47 Years of Experience … Because it Works
Submitted Article
The ancient Chinese
believed that true
health is body, mind
and spirit working
together in harmony.
Taoist Tai Chi® arts
are a way to develop
a body that is strong,
supple, balanced
and energetic; a
mind that is calm,
clear, creative and
dynamic; a peaceful
resilient spirit.
Taoist Tai Chi® arts
involve deep stretch-
ing with a full range
of motion and contin-
uous turning of the spine.
They exercise the whole
physiology- muscular,
skeletal, and circulatory
systems; tendons, joints,
connective tissue, or-
gans. Not depending on
tension and developing
hard muscle tissue, these
arts develop a body that
is deeply relaxed and
strong. The gentle inter-
nal movements are bal-
anced throughout the
body and have a calming
effect on the mind.

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]
