  On May 8, 2012, the New Horizons For Seniors Program launched a community-based call for proposals across Canada. Many volunteer organizations, here in South Shore - St. Margaret's, have benefited from this funding in the past! The APPLICATION DEADLINE is June 29, 2012! Funding will support projects that meet one or more of the program’s five objectives: 1. promoting volunteerism among seniors and other generations; 2. engaging seniors in the community through the mentoring of others; 3. expanding awareness of elder abuse, including financial abuse; 4. supporting the social participation and inclusion of seniors; and 5. providing capital assistance for new and existing community projects and/or programs for seniors. Community-based projects are eligible for funding of up to $25,000, for up to one year. These projects support programs and activities for seniors that meet one or more of the program’s five objectives listed above. For more information on the call for proposals and updates on the program, visit our website at www.hrsdc.gc.ca/seniors.

  Our Conservative Government announced yesterday that it will be allocating 10 MHz, of the 700 MHz bandwidth, for the exclusive use of emergency responders including police, firefighters and paramedics. During the last election I was lobbied by members of local fire departments for the allocation of 20 MHz of bandwidth for emergency responders. This initial 10 MHz lays the foundation for a national mobile broadband communications network that will help to protect communities and save lives by improving emergency responses across South Shore – St. Margaret’s. Firefighters, police, and paramedics will be able to link to their colleagues in other agencies across Canada and, when necessary, their counterparts along the Canada-U.S. border. The 700 MHz spectrum allows for large amounts of data to be carried at high speed over long distances, and it lessens the potential for communications failures during peak emergency periods.

  Just had the pleasure of announcing that the Government of Canada has provided funding of $10,690, through the Canada Cultural Spaces Fund of the Department of Canadian Heritage, for the Osprey Arts Centre in Shelburne, NS. This funding will help the Osprey Arts Centre to purchase a cinema-quality multimedia projector and projection screen to offer film screenings for local audiences. The new film equipment will also be used by a variety of performers such as dance and theatre organizations, musical groups, and the Maritime Concert Opera. As part of efforts to stimulate filmmaking in the community, the Osprey plans to use the new film equipment in workshops for youth and adults.
