ORGANIZATION INFORMATION:

1. Purpose or objective(s) of your organization (i.e. mission statement):
Our organization was formed as a committee in April 2014 and registered as a society July 22, 2014. We
are established to be the overseeing body for all activities for the 200'b anniversary of New Ross taking
place in 2016 and be the organization that would handle all grant applications, fund raising and publicity
and promotion for this year long event. Most of the other non-profit groups in our community are
hosting a specific event and/or involved in the large events. We will partner with groups which are
hosting events and coordinate all activities that will take place for the major activities for May Day
being held May 22, 2016 and the anniversary weekend on August 5 to 7, 2016.
Our organization is 100% volunteer made up of a four person executive, 2 additional directors and 12
committee chairs. Any member of the community and its supporters can be a member of the association
with no membership fee. When we hold meetings anyone who is at the meeting can participate in
discussion and vote on motions. It is agreed that decisions made at a meeting by those present are
binding. This has been very successful so far as everyone is supportive of the anniversary and has an
opportunity to bring ideas to the table. The committee chairs have the responsibility for the duties of
their respective committees and report to the monthly meetings of the Association. The main committees
of entertainment, communications, night market and parade have been given an initial budget to work
within, the community groups each have a small budget to get started based on their requests for funding
and the executive members are handling such items as venues and venue supports, insurance, security
and first aid.
We have a master budget, an action plan with responsibilities and draft schedule of events. These are
reviewed regularly and updated with time frames. We have started having monthly executive meetings
and have started booking entertainment, venue and visitor supports such as tents, food and beverages
providers and portable washroom facilities.
Our goal is to make this a family event with intergenerational interaction and we have set ticket prices at
low rates with a family rate to encourage all to attend. We see taking care of our guests and visitors as
most important in delivering a successful anniversary.
2. Is your project New Construction Renovation Equipment Program —X-
3. Please describe your project and its benefits to residents (attach separately if insufficient space).
Our project is a series of events held through 2016 with a special weekend in August which will
commemorate our founding which occurred on August 7, 1816 and celebrate our 200th anniversary, our
history, heritage and culture, and who we are as a community. Our history was recorded in letters
received by Captain William Ross, the diaries of his son Edward Ross, scrapbooks, letters and photos
kept by previous generations. We learned from our forefathers who had to share implements, care for
each other and cooperate to build their homes, clean their fields and build the first school, sawmill and
churches that when we work together and share our talents we can get things done.
We plan to show case are heritage with historical displays, maps and local site signs and our culture
through entertainment especially music. During our May Day event to be held at the bandstand on May
22, 2016 we will show the 8mm film from the 1501h anniversary now being converted to modern
medium. We will host in partnership with the New Ross Family Resource Centre song writing sharing
circles to facilitate the creation of songs about New Ross. These songs will be performed at the May Day
concert hosted by New Ross Regional Development Society and we hope to have one that will become
the New Ross song for the remainder of the year.
We have partnered with the New Ross Family Resource Centre to fund a project which expresses food
through art. Local artists will be brought in to work with the children of all grades at our school resulting
in the children selecting a theme around which to create a piece of art. Artists will include such people
as painters, photographers, graphic designers, senior resident story tellers, poets, music instructors and
woodworkers. At the end these artistic creations will be showcased through an artist walk open to the
public.
The actual date of the anniversary is August 7 and we are planning a full weekend of activities from
August 5 to 7, 2016. We will start Friday night with a "Night Market" which will showcase "foodie"
vendors, old style carnival performers and musical entertainment. On Saturday there will be a breakfast
hosted by the fire department and auxiliary; a Captain Ross and Mary Ross competition hosted by Ross
Farm Museum Board of Directors and a parade and opening ceremonies with a 200 shotgun salute. We
will host an adult woodsman's competition including men and women featuring old fashion crosscut
saw, kettle boil and obstacle pole, to name a few. In addition to celebrate our Christmas tree history and
title of "Christmas Tree Capital of Nova Scotia" we are hosting a special Christmas tree "Run -Cut -Tie"
demonstration event including a special celebrity section. There will be several venues with
entertainment, historical displays, and children's games.
On Sunday we will start with an ecumenical service to celebrate our spiritual background and unity as a
community. This is significant as it has been said the ecumenical movement in Canada started in New
Ross with the service for the 1501h anniversary in 1966. We will have entertainment at the fairgrounds
and at the bandstand in the afternoon. At 2:00 PM we will toll the church bells 200 times which will
signal the start of the "New Ross Open House" with our three main churches: fire department, who itself
is celebrating its 701h anniversary; the family resource centre, historical society and Ross Farm with a
special Mary Ross tea featuring readings and other entertainment. We will cap of the weekend with an
evening of music and a fireworks display.
Throughout our year of events we will be wearing vintage clothing and have put out a challenge for 200
outfits for 200 years. Our vintage clothing chair has created ideas for outfits made from "Frenchy"
clothes to make it cost affordable for everyone to be able to participate.
We fully expect our activities to be successful. The level of success is what we will measure by such
things as:
- number of people attending
- interest shown by our community
- number of people with New Ross roots who return
- number of visitors from other surrounding communities, the province and elsewhere
- expression of satisfaction, fulfilment and accomplishment by our volunteers
Outcomes we hope to achieve are leaving historical legacy projects such as the mural, seniors' video
series and historical signboards. We want to have the community engaged and have that continue and
move our community forward with projects, new small and entrepreneur businesses and added activities
to attract visitors.
We want to work with groups such as the New Ross Historical Society, Ross Farm, New Ross Farmers,
and Forties Community Centre to make some of this year's events annual happenings.
It is hoped that partners and supporters we engage for the anniversary will become permanent liaisons to
assist in growing our rural community economy.
4. If your project is new construction or renovation, who are the main users of the facility and for
what purpose will they use it? If your project is program based, who is the target audience?
Our events are target multi audiences. First we would like to involve all residents of New Ross
through their assistance in carrying out activities, attending events and spreading the information about
the anniversary celebrations. They have been very engaged so far sending our postcards to all provinces of
Canada, many parts of the U S A and many parts of the rest of the world. Many through facebook are
sharing the events with their contacts. As the postcard says "Come Home to New Ross", we would like
people to return to the community for a visit or come to check out their roots. But this also includes many
of our friends and visitors who feel we make them feel at "home" when they attend an event or come to
activities in the community. People who are interested in history, heritage and culture will be attracted to
our events.
We are also trying some new different types of things such as the "Night Market" event to attract younger
people and we are advertising and pricing our event as a family friendly activity.
Through Facebook, New Ross website, newspaper and flyer advertising and articles we hope to attract
visitors from surrounding areas, the rest of the province and tourists who may be in Nova Scotia during the
August 5 to 7, 2016 weekend.
From the attendance at the time capsule opening we know we attracted decedents of people born and/or
brought up in New Ross, people who were interested in a historical event, and people who came to the
event out of interest who had never been to our community before and it was January. So we feel we will
attract thousands of visitors in 2016.
How much money are you requesting? $_15,000_ (phase 2)
6. Budget
• Please attach a project budget showing all revenue and expenses.
• The budget must include all sources of funding.
• Please include a copy of your most recent yearly financial statement.
(Very little spending took place prior to our year end of June 30,2015. We will report the full
activities of our event at the completion of the 2016 year.)
For construction or renovation projects, please specify whether you own the facility or have a long
term lease.
_N/A
8. Is there additional information that may support your grant application? Please attach letters of
support, etc.
(A) list of letters of support (specific letters have not been included as we already have a letter of
support from the council which indicates their support of this event) However, if the grant review
committee should require individual letters we can provide them. The list of events indicated the
support of the groups in New Ross.
(B) Knowledge and experience of people in key roles in organization
One of the attributes of our community is that we work well together for goals we set for ourselves and
we draw on and respect each other's strengths.
Chair, Debbie Reeves is an accountant and business manager graduating with B. Comm. and CA. She is
and has been chair and treasurer of several groups both business and non-profit. She has organized
several curling bonspiels, forestry events and was treasurer handling a million dollar project where she
assisted with management of the contractors, recorded the accounting and dealt with several large grants
at the same time.
Vice Chair, Tina Connors is the community's municipal councilor; she previously worked as community
development officer for a Regional Development Agency and her and her partner operate a small
business.
Secretary, Evelyn Hiltz is a retired teacher holding an M Ed in Elementary Curriculum education and
has been involved in a number of other organizations including being responsible for publishing the
New Ross Historical Society newsletter.
Treasurer, Marie Meister is a retired teacher and co-owner of a Christmas tree business for which she
keeps the records. She has been treasurer of a number of groups and chaired July 1" event in the
community for several years.
Promotion and Communication Chair, Teresa Workman is Communications Coordinator with South
Shore Public Libraries. Some of her work duties include design and production of brochures,
advertisements, web content and promotional material, plan, organize and implement events such as
author readings and conferences. She has also published several freelance articles.
Woodsman Competition Chair, Jeff Reeves is a business owner and a 4-H leader and has organized this
event for the 4-H both at the county and provincial level.
(C) Strengthen relationships between organizations in our community.
With most groups in the community volunteering to assist with activities we hope to have their
partnerships collectively be able to do events together in the future. By including the children at school,
and such groups as the 4-H club and cadets, we hope that they will want to continue to volunteer with
groups as they get older.
Including new people in our community in our planning, the activities and incorporating their ideas we
hope we can engage more of the people that move to our community in activities and as volunteers.
With our new Ross Farm Learning Centre; which we see partly as our 200' anniversary legacy to the
community, although done before the anniversary instead of after, completed and the New Ross
Historical Society moving into the building we expect an increase in visitors to our community. We also
expect with the historical society being able to use the learning space in the building they will be able to
host lectures and genealogy workshops which will attract more visitors and interest in our community,
our history and our culture. While in the community we hope they will attend other events being held in
the community.
(D) Economic benefits
The economic benefits from this anniversary especially the August weekend will be wide spread. First,
many of our groups participating will raise funds for their groups which will be in addition to normal
annual fundraising. Businesses in New Ross and the municipality in general will see increased visitors
for gas, food, accommodations and supplies. Many people will make a vacation of this event and be here
for several days or a week therefore they will visit other parts of the south shore and do some shopping.
From community data such as 25,000 visitors per year to Ross Farm, 6,000 people at the New Ross Fair,
2015 Christmas Festival being the largest yet with 4,000 + visitors and the Forties Community Centre
serving over 4,000 meals mostly to people from outside the community we expect we could get as many
as 10,000 or 12,000 visitors on August weekend and many more for other events.
This could result in an additional $250,000 to $400,000 being spent in the area this summer. The
hospitality and welcoming atmosphere we display will encourage many first time visitors to return
adding a lasting economic benefit to the area.

Over the past few years we have worked
to guarantee that victims of sexual assault
receive immediate and long term medical

organizations have come together to develop
an understanding of the best ways to provide
medical, legal and supportive care. Our

Sexual Assault: Did It Happen to Me?
A lot of people have experienced a sexual act they did not want. Maybe it was a long time
ago, or maybe it just happened.You might wonder if what happened to you qualifies as sexual
assault. It can be confusing.
Some people think that an experience with a partner can't be sexual assault, or that it isn't
sexual assault if it wasn't physically violent. But actually, sexual assault spans a wide range of
non-consensual sexual contact. In other words, if somebody did something to you that you
did not want, that is sexual assault. If you didn't agree to it and you didn't want it (ever) if you
didn't say ''no''), it counts as sexual assault.
Common forms of sexual assault include:
Unwanted kissing, touching or fondling
Repeatedly using sexual insults toward someone
Refusing to use condoms or restricting someone's access to birth control
Undesired rough or violent sexual activity, even with a partner who
otherwise has your consent
Deliberately causing pain during sex
Deliberately passing on a sexually transmitted disease or infection
Someone watching private sexual -ads
Someone showing his or her genitals
-Verbally threatening sexual assault
Unwanted penetrative sex, including penetration of the mouth
Attempted rape
Unwanted sexual acts perpetrated by someone in a position of power, such as a teacher,
psychiatrist, aide or prison guard
- Child molestation, which includes any of the above as well as:
Intentionally engaging in sexual activity in front of a child
Showing children pornography, or using children to create pornography
Using a child to engage in prostitution
Keep in Mind
Everyone has the right to decide what they do or don't want to do sexually. Not all sexual
assaults are violent.
Most victims of sexual assault know the assailant.
People of all ages and genders can be victims of sexual abuse.
People of most ages and all genders can be perpetrators of sexual abuse.
Sexual abuse can occur in same-sex and opposite -sex relationships.
Sexual abuse can occur between two people who have been sexual with each other before
including people who are married or dating.
Sexual abuse can happen in families, in institutions, at home or on the street.
S.2
was just assauTec.a what now?
If you are 16 or over and have recently
experienced sexual assault, we encourage you
to visit a Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner (SANE) at
any one of the three hospitals in Lunenburg or
Queens Counties.
Victims under 16 will be referred to specially
trained professionals in Hal ifax,where the best
possible care can be provided for children and youth
Visiting a SANE does not mean that you will have
to report your assault to the police or RCMP but
it does mean that ifyou decide at any point to do
so that you will have important supportive evidence
available. Many survivors do not feel ready to speak
with police right away, but may wish to at a later
time. Forensic evidence from the exam can be
stored safely and anonymously for up to 5 years.
Visiting a SANE is also a good way to immediately
start getting the support you want. Before going
to the hospital, it is important that you not wash,
brush your teeth, or change your clothes. Place
any article involved in the assault in a bag and
bring it with you. If you need immediate
assistance and safety you can call emergency
services (9 1 I) or the police in Bridgewater for
transportation to the hospital.You can also use
your, own transportation or call Harbour House
at 1-888-543-3999 to arrange transportation.
SANEs are on-call 24/7 at Fishermen's Memorial
Hospital in Lunenburg, South Shore Regional
Hospital in Bridgewater, and Queens General
Hospital in Lverpool.You may choose to visit the
hospital closest to where you live, or you may prefer
to go to a different hospital for privacy reasons.
Anyone can visit a SANE at any of the three
hospitals, regardless of where they live.
Once you get to the hospital, you will be
taken immediately to a private room so that you
do not have to wart in the general waiting area.
Mental health staff will be available to you for
support during and after the exam.You may also
choose to have any support person you wish stay
with you, including a trained counsellor from Second
Story Women's Centre, Harbour House or a
friend or family member.
Depending on the nature of your assault
the exam can take up to a few hours. SANEs
will address any potential disease transmission
and administer medication if called for'. (They can
do this without giving a full exam if you prefer.)
The SANEs will wor� as quickly as possible and
will check with you throughout the procedure to
make sure you understand what is happening and
that you are comfortable.
Afterward, continuing support will be available to
you through the mental health staff. Long term
support and referral is also available for female
Identified survivors through Second Story and
Harbour House and for aTI survivors through
Freeman House.
The words victim and survivor are both used in this brochure.
Most often, criminal justice agencies use the term victim, while support
services use the term survivor. You may prefer one of these terms over
the other, or not care for either of them. You have the right to be
identified by the term you are most comfortable with.
was sexually assaulted a while ago.What are my options?
If your sexual assault took place more than a week ago, it may be too late to collect physical evidence.
You can still talkto someone at Second Story Women's Centre, Harbour House, a SANE,the police or
RCMP if you wish.This is true even if your assault happened to you a longtime ago.There is no statute of
limitation for sexual assault in Canada, so it is possible to pursue justice even for an incident that happened
years ago or when you were a child.

Dear Chad Haughn
n
S.S
Thank you in advance for your support moving this request forward.
The New Ross Family Resource Centre (NRFRC) is looking for a collaborative partnership with
the Municipality of the District of Chester (MODC), in our application for an "Age Friendly
Community Grant"
We would request the MODC partner with the NRFRC in a comprehensive community assessment
under the eight domains of Age Friendliness under the World Health Organization (WHO) as well
as Senior Friendly designation the trademarked program that the Town Of Bridgewater achieved
with the Bridgewater Police Services.
The Grant funding is looking for partners; we would like to formerly connect the MODC Age
Friendly Housing Project with our New Ross Project as joint partners. This approach would benefit
and support both initiatives.
In particular we would request the letter from MODC include the four points listed.
9 Advise on the project
0 Join the NRFRC, SEEN and New Ross Community Care Team (Leading this project and
other Senior initiatives in New Ross)
Lead and facilitate the Town Hall meeting with partners support
Connect NR initiatives with MODC initiatives. We would share all our findings with
MDOC. We would like to be a pilot Age Friendly Community that would support MODC
Age Friendly Initiatives.
We have been encouraged to submit this application by the grant funding group that we were not
successful in applying for initially. In your previous letter of support you described aptly the
strengths of New Ross as a community. This time we are seeking a joint partnership and a letter
that would support your role as such.
