Cliffs of Fundy update

According to the Amherst Rotary Club, the Cliffs of Fundy global geopark is getting closer to reality.

The draft nomination application will be given to the Canadian National Committee for Geoparks next spring and could be sent to UNESCO later in 2019.

If that goes through, the Cliffs of Fundy Geopark could be approved in early 2020.

Geoparks are designed to promote geotourism and celebrate a region’s uniqueness.

Billions from the taxpayers for child care

Ottawa and almost all of the provinces signed a deal aimed at making child care more accessible, a plan that will ding taxpayers $7.5 billion over the next decade.

The Trudeau liberals will require provinces and territories to focus on regulated child-care operations serving children under the age of six and families with greater needs, including families that are low-income, Indigenous, single-parent, living in underserved communities or with children with disabilities.
