Subject: [Sust-mar] COASTLANDS: THE MARITIMES POLICY REVIEW
Message-ID: <007b01ca16c9$7a75f9b0$0a02a8c0@ibm>

COASTLANDS: THE MARITIMES POLICY REVIEW 
 

COMING SEPTEMBER 2009   



Launched in 2007 as The Nova Scotia Policy Review, this independent quarterly magazine has gained the respect of policy makers, community advocates and concerned citizens, and its independent reporting has been cited as evidence in the provincial legislature and in municipal chambers. Now in its third year, the magazine is changing its name to Coastlands: The Maritimes Policy Review, becoming the only regional magazine devoted to sustainable development, independent journalism and critical reflection on social, cultural and environmental issues. 

  

Why the new name? 

 

Coastlands are contested spaces requiring complex and sensitive policy responses to preserve and share what is precious to us all. The name underscores the fact that we're bound together in a shared environment and we need collaborative, careful and just responses to our natural and cultural resources. Coastlands extends its editorial horizon beyond the coastline, however. It surveys emerging ideas across a broad spectrum of public policy concerns - including agriculture, coastal management, crime, culture (especially indigenous culture), democracy, disabilities, education, energy, environment, ethics, freedom of information, government, health, industry, justice, labour, language, law reform, literacy, media, mental health, natural resources, poverty, rural development, social policy and statecraft.   

 

Under the new title the magazine will offer an even richer selection of digests, short articles, essays, book reviews, maps, cartoons, comment, statistics and satire. Coastlands will continue to tackle politics, culture and justice with style and spark, as it searches for sustainable solutions to pressing problems. 

 

Coastlands: The Maritimes Policy Review is published quarterly by Finest Point Periodicals Limited in Bridgetown, Nova Scotia. For inquiries, submissions or subscriptions, please email Rachel Brighton at editor at policyreview.ca or visit www.coastlands.ca

VOLUNTEER INTERNSHIP OPPORTUNITY



Position: Organic Garden Intern

Organization: The Maritime Village Victory Garden

Location: St. Andrews, New Brunswick



Over the last six years, friends have helped us create a

beautiful, bountiful homestead and garden in this lovely

corner of the Maritimes that borders on the most easterly

part of the U.S. The result is our evolving Eden, in friendly

and historic St. Andrews by-the-Sea. We grow over 100

different vegetables, fruits, trees, herbs and flowers. 



Learn about and help with gardening, composting, food

preservation and preparation. Our meals are gourmet natural,

mostly from our gardens, omnivore/flex to meet our needs and

those of our interns. We save our own seed and organize an

annual seed exchange for our region. Our garden provides

much of our food and surplus for friends and neighbours.

Much of our harvest is stored--canned, dried or frozen--and

feeds us all year long. We heat with wood and interns

sometimes help to stack and split wood.



St. Andrews is the first and still the finest seaside

resort in Canada. Whale watching, botanical gardens, an

aquarium, museum, historic homes and estates, hiking,

birdwatching and many other local attractions are a short

walk from our house and garden. Community college and 

many shops, cafes and eateries.



Private room and bath in our home available for intern(s)

for up to a week. Longer stays by mutual agreement. We 

need interns from April through November and sometimes 

in December.



Hosts have travelled widely, lived and worked in Central

America, and are peace, justice and environmental activists.

Message-ID: <912697.72997.qm@web110703.mail.gq1.yahoo.com>

Dear Friends,
Please help us to spread the news about LFP. Please 
forward this to farmers, the media and friends in Atlantic Canada.
Thank you.
Phil and Nancy
 
 

 FARMERS HARVEST 
BENEFITS OF LOCAL FOODS PLUS

Farmers across the country are 
signing up with Local Foods Plus, so they can display the highly sought and 
widely recognized LFP sticker on their products that assures consumers they are 
buying locally and sustainably produced foods. 
   
Now Maritime farmers can also join in 
on this massive marketing movement that is attracting the attention of consumers 
throughout Canada.
   
Local Foods Plus is a Toronto based 
non-profit company that is now officially certifying producers of local, 
sustainable foods in all Canadian provinces. To be recognized by LFP the food 
must be produced in local regions in a way that is gentle on the environment and 
strict on worker and animal rights. In a word, it is ethical food.  "We're 
not just looking at where it comes from or simply the production system, either. 
This is a broader package," said Local Food Plus vice-president Mike 
Schreiner.    
   
Since it launched last fall, Local Food 
Plus has given its stamp of approval to 50 farmers and food processors.  
The University of Toronto now buys 15 per cent of 
its food from 
LFP-certified farms, and many restaurants and grocery stores are following suit 
as public demand grows.  
   
A recent poll by Friends of the 
Greenbelt Foundation in Ontario shows 91 per cent 
of consumers would buy 
locally grown food if they could find it in their grocery stores, and this rate 
of demand can now be applied to most Canadian cities. "People will buy locally 
grown food if it's convenient for them," said Schreiner. 
   
Maritime farmers interested in learning 
more about LFP certification are encouraged to contact The Institute for 
Bioregional Studies at 902 367-0397 or email ibs_pei at yahoo.com.

Subject: [Sust-mar] AUGUST end of summer Backyard Green Drinks!
Message-ID: <d91d72080908251034n6e661e3cj78e8416f3e28b769@mail.gmail.com>

This month we offer something a little different. BYOB green drinks, hosted
by Natalie, on *THURSDAY* (note day change) evening, 7-10.


"Last summer's backyard green drinks party went very well, so we have
decided to try it again. We are also changing the date, as we have
discovered a conflict. The Nova Scotia Youth Conservation Corps 20th
anniversary event falls on the last Wednesday of August, and as many Green
Drinkers are likely to be there, we are holding Green Drinks the following
night, *Thursday August 27.*

Only this time, rather than meeting at Henry House, I am inviting you all to
BYOB and join me on my back deck. We will provide simple snack foods, so
bring the drink of your choice and come on over. We'll be congregating in my
yard from 7-10 pm, at which point anyone looking to carry on the party can
make their way to Jenny's or the Lion's Head (nearby) or anywhere else you
fancy.

There is one catch. This is an open group, and an open event. And I want to
maintain some level of privacy. So if you want to come, you MUST RSVP, and I
will send a message Tuesday with my address. (If you want to come at the
last minute, text me at 222-5896.)

For planning purposes, I am in the West End, reasonably close to the mall
and all the related bus routes."

Message-ID: <4A93CCBA.A809.00F5.0@wwfcanada.org>

Hello,
 
I wonder if you can include this information in your next mailing.
 
Thanks!
 
Stacey
 
The TD Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup is a conservation initiative of the Vancouver Aquarium. For over 16 years, participants across the country have been removing harmful litter from their local shorelines - and sending us the data to prove it. Working in partnership with WWF-Canada, this cleanup has grown into the second largest cleanup in the world.
 
Last year, over 63,000 Canadians registered for the TD Great Canadian 
Shoreline Cleanup, and in only one week participants removed 135,467 kg of litter from 1,280 shorelines, including 328,733 cigarette butts, 108,231 food wrappers and 62,405 plastic beverage bottles. These numbers rise every year, which means that Canadians still use our waterways for dumping grounds.  Until attitudes and behaviours around our shorelines change, we will continue to conduct the TD Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup.
 
This year, we invite Nova Scotians to join WWF-Canada, Atlantic Region, and Dalhousie University students at Point Pleasant Park on Saturday, September 19th to come out help remove harmful shoreline litter.
 
Registration will begin at 9:30 am at Black Rock Beach, followed by a 
cleanup of the southern most tip of the park to the shorelines stretching 
along the Northwest Arm. We will wrap up the event with refreshments lots of great give-aways. Participants are encouraged to use sustainable 
transportation, such as car pooling, public transit, or bicycles, as well as 
bring their own reusable food containers and cups as a way to reduce our impact on the environment.
 
Interested participants can register online at 
www.vanaqua.org/cleanup/join.php 
 
Contact Stacey McCarthy, smccarthy at wwfcanada.org, at WWF-Canada, Atlantic Region, or Amy Florian, florian.amy at gmail.com, from Dalhousie University with any additional questions.

Subject: [Sust-mar] IncrEdible Picnic posponed to August 30, 2009
Message-ID: <8370A885FD974A6AA3A4B191C4037BD2@homepw>

INCREDIBLE PICNIC POSTPONED TO AUGUST 30TH, 2009.

Community organizers have decided to reschedule the event at most locations 
for Sunday, Aug. 30, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m, due to the hurricane forcast on 
August 23.

"We respect the voices of the picnic planners in our rural communities who 
have told us that going forward this weekend is not the best option due to 
the pending hurricane forecast," said Agriculture Minister John MacDonell. 
"We are confident that Nova Scotians will support our decision and come out 
on August 30th to celebrate and enjoy fresh, local food."

----------------------------------

Sunday August 30th, 2009 from 11 am - 3 pm, create a picnic lunch from local 
foods being sold by farmers and restaurants at the picnic sites.

Leave the day-to-day routine behind and get back to the roots of family, 
community, nature and good food. Food, live music, and children's activities 
will ensure this is a memorable experience for you, your family, and 
friends.

By choosing local foods, Nova Scotians are making a difference for our 
farmers, for our economy and for our way of life. Enjoy fresh, favourful 
meals that are easy to prepare and take advantage of excellent and readily 
available local ingredients.

2009 Incredible Picnic Locations:
Sunday August 30th, 2009

Halifax - Garrison Grounds, Citadel  Hill
Truro - Victoria Park
Annapolis Royal - Farmers market and wharf
Kings County - Prescott House Museum
Guysborough - DesBarres Manor Inn
Sydney - Petersfield Provincial Park
Liverpool - White Point Beach Resort
Musquodoboit - Musquodoboit Harbour Farmers Market

Please note: The Incredible Picnic in Denmark and Hubbards have been 
canceled, and the Antigonish and Windsor locations did take place on August 
23rd, 2009.

INCREDIBLE PICNIC CANCELLED

The Select Nova Scotia Incredible Picnic, scheduled for Sunday, Aug. 30, is 
cancelled because of the weather forecast indicating tropical force winds 
and heavy rain.

Although the Select Nova Scotia Incredible Picnic is cancelled for the 2009 
event, we would like to thank all the vendors, organizers, and community 
groups who were planning to attend, some of whom helped make the 2008 picnic 
such a success with delicious food from across the province.

As some of these companies have already started to prepare food for Sunday, 
please stop by their locations this weekend for some great Nova Scotia 
products!
