Proclamation Request Letter
Dear Warden Allen Webber,
Canada faces a major problem – and a preventable one: Almost 500 people die every
year from drowning. On behalf of the Lifesaving Society Nova Scotia Branch, I am
writing to ask that you proclaim July 16-22, 2017 as NATIONAL DROWNING
PREVENTION WEEK IN THE MUNICIPALITY OF THE DISTRICT OF CHESTER,
NOVA SCOTIA.
The Lifesaving Society is a national, charitable organization working to prevent
drowning and reduce water-related injury through our training programs, Water Smart®
public education, drowning research and aquatic safety standards. The Lifesaving
Society certifies Canada’s National Lifeguards.
National Drowning Prevention Week is one of the Society’s leading public education
initiatives, with events taking place across the country to focus media and community
attention on the drowning problem and drowning prevention. During this week, the
Society urges individuals to:
• Supervise children in and around the water.
• Refrain from drinking alcoholic beverages while participating in aquatic activities.
• Wear a personal flotation device (PFD) or lifejacket when boating.
If every Canadian followed these steps, we could greatly reduce Canada’s drowning
rate.
A proclamation from Warden Allen Webber would give greater exposure to our
lifesaving efforts to the residents of the Municipality of the District of Chester. I hope you
will consider our request.
If you have any questions, please contact Mike Maguire, Executive Director -
Lifesaving Society Nova Scotia Branch, at (902) 425-5450 ext. 331, or
mike.maguire@nsls.ns.ca, or myself at (902) 477-6168 or klara.needler@msvu.ca.
Sincerely,
Klara Needler
Public Relations Officer

the District of Chester (MODC). The MODC initiative will serve as a pilot and then can be rolled out to
other areas of the region.
Support the tourism
industry
The SSREN has committed to support a marketing coordinator position for the South Shore Tourism

Key Partner Round Table
sessions and collaborative
events
1. A key partner roundtable was held with Acadia Entrepreneurship Centre, the Centre for
Entrepreneurship Education and Development (CEED), and Mashup Lab. Plans are underway to
prepare and promote a list of learning events throughout the region this coming fall. In the interim, the
SSREN is still gathering additional information from EDOs throughout the region on capacity-building
needs.
2. A meeting was held with ACOA and the South Shore Opportunities Agency to discuss how we can
more effectively work together on business approaches for support. It was decided that once the
business approach needs are discussed, the business owner would be offered a roundtable meeting with
the needs-related business support organisations. One such meeting has taken place. NSBI has recently
staffed a person responsible for the SSREN region who will be based in the Bridgewater Economic
Centre. They will also be joining the roundtable discussions.

3. A group meeting was held with organisations in the Economic Centre with an objective of forming a
collaborative approach to addressing the needs identified by Lunenburg County BRE participants. The
first initiative will be a pilot project with the Bridgewater and Area Chamber of Commerce. It will
consist of informal meetings at a local restaurant. All members of the Economic Centre will participate.
It will provide an opportunity for Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) to get to know “who
does what”. Subject to the success of the initiative, it will be written up and shared with all municipal
units.
The second outcome of the meeting is an agreement to have a booth at the Bridgewater Exhibition. The
team is preparing a rack card style handout with contact information.
Platinum Economy A consultant has been contracted and work is currently underway. The project has two phases. The first
phase includes:
• The finalization of client direction
• Benchmark research in target jurisdictions
• The preparation of a market profile

profile.
Direct support to
Municipal Units
Meetings have been held with the Mayors, Wardens and Chief Administrative Officers in the nine
municipal partner units with an objective to obtain information on their economic development priorities.
Some of the direct support initiatives that the SSREN is currently working on with individual municipal
units are listed below.
Chester:

Bridgewater Town Council to build knowledge capacity on the difference between economic
development and community economic development. Additionally, the intervention will lead council
members through a process of identifying economic development initiatives for the town.

branding. The town will be using the support later in the fiscal year.
MODL: The SSREN is providing admin support to the MODL EDO to help map areas within Lunenburg
County where internet services are not yet provided.

CURRENT SITUATION
The Strategic Priorities Chart adopted by Council in February 2017 included a Service Capacity Review. The
issue identified was a concern over escalating costs in providing services.To address this issue,it was
decided to complete a Service Capacity Review in 2017-18 followed by an Organization Review in 2018.
Confirmation from Council regarding the purpose of the Service Capacity Review and Organizational
Review is required as it influences the approach to be taken.Subsequent to this, an agreement to proceed
with Service Capacity Review is required.
DIRECTION REQUESTED
Direction is required as to the Service Capacity Review’s:
1.Confirmation of Purpose
2.Approach
3.Process
4.Stakeholder Engagement / Consultation
BACKGROUND
At the January 2017,Strategic Priorities Session,Councillors identified concern over escalating costs for
providing services. Questions exist regarding what services we provide, how they are provided and what
our options are for reducing costs and / or increasing efficiency.A two-phased approach was discussed,
which included a Phase 1. Service Capacity Review and Phase 2. Organization Review.
In February Council approved the Strategic Priorities Chart, which included the Service Capacity Review in
2017-18 and the Organization review in 2018-19. The following table is an excerpt from the Strategic
Priorities work program:

DISCUSSION
The Why? / Purpose
Service Reviews can mean different things to different organizations. There are several reasons why local
government would undertake a review of services:
Ensuring alignment of services with the community’s need
Ensuring alignment with Council’s vision and expectations
Service awareness -Help Council and a community determine what the role of local government
should be, versus what it may be
Cost-cutting-target reduction in expenditures
Enable consideration of alternative service delivery options
Identify revenue generation options / new business opportunities
Value for Money audit-council wants to ensure “value for money”
Strategic capacity-ensuring alignment of service expectations with organization capacity, while
ensuring capacity for completing Strategic Initiatives.
Lessons learned from other organizations that have carried out a Service Capacity Review is that the
purpose and objective of the Review needs to be agreed to and understood. Participants need to agree
to the Service Capacity Review’s purpose as it affects the scope and method undertaken as well as the
deliverables produced.
3 REQUEST FOR /Direction
Service Capacity Review –Why?
At the Strategic Priorities Session, Councillor’s noted the purpose of a Service Capacity Review would be:
to 1) Ensure Services are Responsive / Relevant; and, 2) To reduce costs.
Organizational Review –Why?
Councillors noted the purpose of the Organizational Review would be to ensure we are efficient.
Service Capacity Review -Approach
There are two approaches that can be taken to the Service Capacity Review:
1.Comprehensive Review of all services. All services are put on the table at the same time for a
comparative analysis. Organization wide benefits can be obtained.
2.Targeted Service Review-Focuses on specific services that may be of concern/question. The
benefit is that this enables a more rigorous focus. The disadvantage is that it takes longer to
recognize organization wide benefits.
Approach By MODC
From the discussions at the Strategic Priorities Session it is understood that Council wishes to undertake a
Comprehensive Review
Service Capacity Review –Process
Staff conducted Best Practice Research on Service Capacity Reviews and offers the following as a
suggested process to follow with an associated time line.

2.Process
A)Working Groups complete and report to Steering Committee on the following:
a)Services -Inventory and service Levels
b)Unit costing
c)Three R’s (Reason for Service; Resources Used; Results Gained)
d)Benchmarking
e)Options analysis:
1.Potential for savings
2.Options for increased revenue
3.Adjustments to service levels
4.Improved efficiencies
5.Alternative service delivery
6.Duplication in services
B)Stakeholder Consultation / Engagement
To determine whether a service is effective, it will be important to ensure the service is responsive to the
needs of those it is intended to serve.Council may wish to consult with the public to determine
effectiveness of services offered. Such consultation can also be important to determining level of service.
For example, services that have a low importance rating by users may have potential of reduced level of
service. Conversely, Council may wish to increase a level of service where there is a low satisfaction rating.
Some methods of public communication/engagement include:
Surveys
Targeted user workshops
Newsletter / webpage updates
Council does have the option to proceed with the knowledge each Councillor has respecting user
satisfaction, given their representation within the Community.
A Service Capacity Review also requires the participation of municipal staff, from both a user of internal
services and a delivery agent for both internal and external or public services. It is important that staff
understand the purpose of the review and are engaged in the process. Consequently, internal
communications will be important. Methods of engagement and communication internally can include:
Staff participation on working groups. These are the individuals that perform the work daily and
know the functions the best
Consultation workshops / surveys with staff
Regular staff updates through staff meetings and project fact sheets to provide updates
A decision will be required as to what level of stakeholder engagement is undertaken as part of the
Service Capacity Review.
