Nova Scotia Archives Library - use request slip - HD9464 C34 V53 2016

The Victoria Co-operative Fisheries has a way of defying the odds. It was born in 1956 as the fishing industry transitioned from salt fish and canned lobster to fresh product destined for the Boston market. It had to compete with Nickerson's, Leonard Brothers and F.W. Leslie's, the Goliaths of the North of Smokey fishing industry, as well as suitcase buyers during the lobster season. In the early years the small co-operative did not meet the expectations of many of its fishermen but stayed the course. After sixty years, leadership initiatives, member solidarity and an enlightened response to industry crises, the Victoria Co-operative Fisheries can claim its place as a major force in northern Cape Breton's fishery.

Archibald, Kristoffer

Bodily Health, Contaminants, and the Environment : Recognizing the Impacts of Industrial Pollution in Deindustrializing Sydney, Nova Scotia / Kristoffer Archibald.  Montréal, Québec : Concordia University, 2016. 226 pages ; 29 cm.

Nova Scotia Archives Library - use request slip - HD1671 C32 A73 2016

Throughout the twentieth century, the city of Sydney, Nova Scotia was home to a steel industry that polluted the air and contaminated the waterway of Muggah Creek, known in local parlance as the Tar Ponds. This dissertation examines public discourse surrounding the subject of industrial pollution in the deindustrializing city of Sydney, focusing between 1950 and 2014. It explores how diverse community interests--including those of steelworkers, local environmentalists, residents whose properties bordered the contaminated site, and members of the local business community--interpreted and responded to the pollution.
