2020 Virtual Fun Run
It's true that recent events have forced us all to do things a bit differently but the important thing is we're still doing them.
Join us for the 41st annual Annapolis County Fun Run/Walk; pandemic style. We're offering a virtual version this year where you get to choose your route, your distance, and when you do it. This is a run and/or walk event.

Here's how it will work this year:
This year's event provides three distance categories and offers suggested routes, but they are merely options. You are free to pick your own.
The three categories are (you will be asked to select only one):
- Traditional Fun Run distance - 4.3 kms
- A little Bit Further - 10 kms
- Fort-to-Fort Run distance - 25 kms
Everyone who registers will receive a gift of a County Buff.
Everyone who completes their chosen category will receive a certificate.
The first 50 people in each category to complete their chosen distance will receive a special 2020 Fun Run medal.
When you have completed your distance (category), please send a message to Nadine at
nbarteaux@annapoliscounty.ca with a
subject line: 2020 Fun Run. In the body of the email include -
your name, the category you completed, and your mailing address. I will contact you if you were one of the first 50 participants to complete the distance in your category.
Please feel free to send some pictures of you walking or running and we'll share them on our website and Facebook page. Also, let us know if you are doing this as a family group, how far away you live, or any other fun facts you may wish to include.
Please note: All materials related to the 2020 Fun Run will be mailed out to participants respecting the present restrictions related to the pandemic.

Annapolis Broadband Update
What is happening now?
Nova Scotia Power Inc. is responsible for the make ready work that includes estimating and then implementing tree clearing and, if required, pole replacements. This work is performed to allow strand to be attached to the utility poles. Strand is the metal cable that will support the fibre optic cable.
This work is in progress throughout Annapolis County. Fibre optic cable will be strung after the strand is progressively in place.
Eagle Telecom is connecting strand as make readies are cleared and prepared. Fibre installation on utility poles will follow.
Seaside Communications will be responsible for managing and operating the internet service. Seaside Communications will be connecting homes once the fibre optic cable has been installed on the utility poles
The connection to homes will occur progressively. For example, as fibre optic cable is strung by Eagle Telecom, Seaside Communications will follow and connect homes.
We will “direct mail” or “drop-off flyers” to residents when Seaside Communications is approaching your area to connect homes and businesses to the high-speed internet.
Further information will be made available. Seaside Communications will be preparing their operations to assist with communication and service.
