This guidebook explores 70 of Nova Scotia's historic industrial sites. If you drive across Nova Scotia, you will see abandoned rail lines and sleepy towns that once hummed with mills and mines. If you look closely enough, you will see the remnants of the province's industrial revolution, which began in the 1850s and faded away a century later. Author and historian David Rollinson identifies and explores many of the historic sites and cultural artifacts that record this era. Included are over 70 sites of interest from across the province, from the shipbuilding display at the Bear River Heritage Museum to the Digby Rail Trails on the old rail bed out of Digby, which overlooks the Annapolis Basin. Organized by industry - power, natural resources, agriculture, crafts, and transportation - and by county, and featuring 60 fascinating images, Nova Scotia's Industrial Heritage will appeal to tourists travelling by car as well as locals interested in industry, their roots, and social change. David Rollinson's interest in industrial heritage and the history of technology was sparked by a visit to a vintage machinery display as a youngster. After years of historic preservation work in the Caribbean, David moved to Nova Scotia. Includes bibliographical references and index.

Ivany Report. The Nova Scotia Commission on Building Our New Economy is an independent body mandated to engage all Nova Scotians in a discussion about how we want to shape our economic future. A province-building project is not dependent on government policies or the state of the world economy. It is about us, our courage, our imagination & our determination to do better. We can do it ourselves. If Nova Scotia's economy were performing well today in providing jobs, sustaining communities and supporting high quality public services, the wise advice would be to stay the course and avoid major changes. But this is not our situation, nor does the future outlook promise relief. The economic and population challenges we now face in Nova Scotia, and dramatically so in our rural regions, demand new vision, innovative approaches, greater collaboration and a greater willingness to take on the risks associated with economic change and progress. Change in society begins with the leaders. Being respectful of one another, expressing trust in our institutions and in our fellow leaders in different fields, and avoiding parochial and unduly partisan considerations, are crucial starting points. We can also do better at planning and decision-making on our investments of money, time and expertise in pursuit of economic growth. For those who are prepared to reshape their actions to serve the interests of the entire province -- not just their firm, their institution or their community -- this is the time to come together to build a vision for a better future, and to work together to achieve it. We have the assets and opportunities. We have to decide what to do with them. We need to commit to transformation, because we can, and must, do better. Includes bibliographical and web references.
