2021 Annapolis County Volunteer Week!

The pandemic has been a rough ride for everyone but, like most difficult situations, there is a silver-lining. We have learned that Nova Scotians truly step up to help one another and give themselves freely.

As we prepare for 2021 Volunteer Week, we realize that there may not have been the events or festivals that our local volunteers work tirelessly to arrange and execute, but we did witness unbelievable acts of generosity that saw them helping others through a very difficult time.

Let's make sure to recognize these individuals for their kindness and community spirit. ...To Read More Click Here

Fibre Optic Update

For residents who will benefit from the Bell Aliant Fibre Op build, please see the below update as of November 18, 2020:

Port Lorne – There remain 1 make ready work order plus 1 highway crossing design to complete. We are waiting for the NSTIR permit to proceed with the highway crossing and expect that to complete within the next couple weeks. The Bell construction schedule will be confirmed after that time.

Bear River – Substantial progress on the Bear River make ready activities has been made with just 3 highway crossings and 1 water crossing to complete. None of these have yet been approved for construction and we don’t expect any approvals until early to mid December based on the overall number of these left across the province.

East Dalhousie – All regular make ready work has now been completed by NS Power as well as 4 of the 5 water crossings. The lone remaining water crossing has yet to be assessed but is expected to be completed by mid December.
