Atlantic Motorsport Park

Der Atlantic Motorsport Park ist eine permanente Motorsport-Rennstrecke in Shubenacadie in der Provinz Nova Scotia in Kanada. Die Strecke befindet sich etwa 27 km südwestlich der Stadt Truro und gilt als einzige in Nordamerika, welche von Freiwilligen betrieben wird. Geschichte Die Rennstrecke hat ihre Ursprünge in der wachsenden Popularität des Motorsports in Kanada in den 1960er-Jahren, wobei der Canadian Automobile Sport Clubs (CASC) als wichtigster Dachverband fungierte. Es fehlte allerdings an der Atlantikküste an Rennstrecken, was dazu führte, dass oft temporäre Flugplatzkurse für die Rennen verwendet wurden. Um dem entgegenzuwirken, gab die CASC die Planung einer permanenten Rennstrecke bekannt, wobei diese jedoch von den 6 regionalen Clubs erbaut werden sollte. Der Teammanager Frank McCarthy fing daraufhin an Investoren zu suchen und kurz darauf wurde die Atlantic Motorsport Park Inc gegründet, welche ein Stück Land in der Nähe von Shubenacadie erwarb. Der Entwurf des Streckenlayouts, das dem Verlauf des Geländes folgte, übernahm der Formel Vee-Racer und Architektur-Student Robert Guthrie. Lokale Unternehmen wurden ermutigt in den Kurs zu investieren um die Baukosten niedrig zu halten. Im August 1974 wurde die Strecke offiziell eröffnet und fungierte in den ersten Jahren ihres Bestehens als Austragungsort der Formel Atlantic. Clubs für Sportwagen-, Tourenwagen-, Motorrad- und Schneemobilrennen nutzen seitdem die Anlage für ihre Veranstaltungen. Die Strecke Der 1,6 Meilen lange Kurs existiert nach wie vor in nur einer Streckenvariante die den Konturen des Geländes folgt und dank ihrer engen Kurven eine Herausforderung für die Fahrer ist. Sie umfasst 11 Kurven. Es gibt eine offene Boxengasse ohne Boxen. Es gibt westlich des Kurses eine kleine Kartbahn die allerdings kaum benutzt wird.

Atlantic Motorsport Park (AMP) is an all-purpose motorsports facility located near Shubenacadie, Nova Scotia. The 11-turn road course was opened in August, 1974, and is situated on a 116.56-hectare (1.2 km2) site. History One of the most unusual things about AMP is that it was designed, built and operated since August, 1974 by a volunteer group of motorsport enthusiasts, from the automobile, snowmobile and motorcycle racing groups. It has also hosted a Country and Western Festival. It remains completely owned by its membership club and is believed to be the only track in North America that hosts a national series competition that is volunteer run. AMP has hosted notable auto racing categories, including Formula Atlantic and a NASCAR race in the 1970s. At present, AMP hosts an annual round of the Canadian Superbike Championship. From May through October the track is busy with several local motorcycle and car clubs activities. The Atlantic Roadracing League runs a full schedule of motorcycle racing.

It has a church, Saint Anne's, completed in 1836, and a school which serves toddlers and preschoolers. The Mi'kmaq language is taught to children attending the school. A health centre was established in 1998. History Archaeological evidence suggests the community has existed in the area for 2,000 to 4,000 years. It lies in the ancient District of Kespukwitk, a part of the Mi'kmaq nation. The people of Bear River are the Indigenous community whose ancestors welcomed Pierre Dugua, Sieur de Mons, Samuel de Champlain and others who settled at Port-Royal in 1605. The sakmow, or chief, at that time was Henri Membertou who befriended the French. The area around Port-Royal was the traditional summering site of Membertou's people. The community were known as canoe builders who used their craft for fishing and hunting porpoise, in the Annapolis Basin and Bay of Fundy. Oil rendered from the porpoise was sold as a machine lubricant into the early part of the twentieth century. Tourism Each summer the Bear River First Nation Heritage & Cultural Centre offers authentic cultural immersion in the life and traditions of the Mi'kmaq, featuring hands-on craft-making workshops.

Halifax Regional Centre for Education

The Halifax Regional Centre for Education (formerly the Halifax Regional School Board) is the public school district responsible for 136 elementary, junior high, and high schools located in the Halifax Regional Municipality. The current Regional Executive Director is Steve Gallagher. The district's office is on Spectacle Lake Drive in Dartmouth. On January 24, 2018, the provincial government announced that the Halifax Regional School Board would be dissolved and that kindergarten to grade 12 education services in Halifax would administered by an appointed provincial council. The Halifax Regional School Board was dissolved on March 31, 2018. History The Halifax Regional School Board was created in 1996 with the amalgamation of three school boards that had jurisdiction over the former components of the Halifax Regional Municipality, which was created at the same time. Board elections have taken place in 1996, 2000, 2004, 2008 and 2012. 2006 board dismissal On December 19, 2006, the Minister of Education, Karen Casey, dismissed all 13 members of the board due to interpersonal conflicts and having failed to comply with their Code of Ethics. The minister stated, "This board has failed to meet the performance standards set out under Section 64 (6) of the Education Act. Sec. 64 states that a school board, in carrying out its responsibilities under this act, shall meet education program services and performance standards established by the minister." Seven of the former Halifax Regional School Board members are considering legal action against the government for disbanding the elected group. Howard Windsor, a former deputy minister, was appointed to act as the board until the municipal elections took place in October 2008. Mr. Windsor decided to discontinue their yearly stipends of $8,200, stating: "I respect the work done by the previous board members, but I see no reason to continue to pay them when they have neither the responsibility nor the authority to act on the public’s behalf." Windsor was replaced by a nine-member elected Board during regularly scheduled elections in 2008. 2018 dissolution On January 23, 2018, education consultant Avis Glaze presented a report on the province's school system to government that included the recommendation that the seven elected regional school boards become regional education offices overseen by appointed provincial advisory council. On January 24, 2018, the provincial government announced it accepted the recommendation and the Halifax Regional School Board and six other school boards would be dissolved though no date for dissolution was then announced. The elected school board was dissolved on March 31, 2018.

Black Cultural Centre for Nova Scotia

The Black Cultural Centre for Nova Scotia (also known as The Society for the Protection and Preservation of Black Culture in Nova Scotia) is located in Cherry Brook, Nova Scotia, in the Halifax Regional Municipality. The centre is a museum and a library resource centre that focuses on the history and culture of African Nova Scotians. The organization of the Black Cultural Society was incorporated as a charitable organization in 1977 and the centre opened in 1983, with a goal to "educate and inspire" and to protect, preserve and promote Black culture in Nova Scotia. The centre is located on Trunk 7 at 1149 Main Street. The centre holds many events on a weekly basis and is open to the public. The centre also has a permanent display about the former community of Africville. Background The Black Cultural Centre was the "brainchild" of William Pearly Oliver (1934 – 1989), and was put forth in 1972 in order to help meet the needs of the local Black community. Its goals include the preservation and bolstering of the culture of Nova Scotians of African descent through exhibitions and lectures about "community life, religion, military service and immigration." By 2007, the Cultural Centre had been successful in acquiring an Order of Canada medal and thirty Victory Medals from eBay. The Victory Medals had been originally awarded to Black soldiers who had served during World War I in the No. 2 Construction Battalion—"Canada's first and only black battalion." The Centre worked with Dave Thomson of St. George, Ontario who had helped purchase medals for the Centre. In February 2007, the family of Sapper PR. P.F. Fenton learned that his medal was being auctioned on eBay. The community raised thousands of dollars towards the purchase price of over CDN$7,400 so the medal could be placed at the Centre. Public transit There is a Halifax Transit bus stop outside the Black Cultural Centre served by routes "61 North Preston" and "68 Cherry Brook". These operate all day and connect to nearby Portland Hills Terminal. See also Africville Museum Black Loyalist Heritage Centre References External links Official website
