New Pavement for the Bay of Fundy Scenic Drive! |

 The Bay of Fundy Scenic Drive, informally known to us as the Shore Road, is the lovely stretch of rural highway which winds along the coast between Margaretsville and Delaps Cove. Affording panoramic views of the beautiful Bay of Fundy from numerous locations, this scenic by-way has one look while driving west and another to the eastbound traveler.
After a destructive combination of frozen ground and heavy rains during last winter added to years of chronic neglect, the front page of the April edition of this paper featured a photograph of a line of pot buoys placed by the “Fundy Shore Public Works Department” to mark damaged pavement along the Shore Road West. This humorous photograph provided a perfect illustration of the fact that many kilometers of this picturesque roadway have not seen significant improvement in the half century since they were originally paved in the early 1960’s.
In a meeting with MLA Stephen McNeil in March 2008, Fundy Communities Development Association (FCDA) Chairman Barbara Hogan raised the issue of our failing roadways. Mr. McNeil acknowledged that the worst roads in the Annapolis riding are found along the shore, and a discussion of the politics of pavement followed. (The full story may be found in this web site).

Fundy Coast Scholarship & Bursary Fund Announced |

Written by Committee

The Board of Directors for the Fundy Communities Development Association (FCDA) is pleased to announce the creation of the Fundy Coast Scholarship & Bursary Fund. This newly established educational assistance fund will provide an annual financial award to one or more students from the FCDA communities along the shore, and will add to the options available to students seeking financial aide.
The award criteria will allow students to pursue both traditional and non-traditional learning options, and will consider educational elements beyond grade point average and class standing. All local students (Middleton, Bridgetown, Annapolis Royal, Granville Beach Academy and home schooled) will be considered eligible to apply, and full application details will be available upon request after January 15, 2009.
The award program will be administered directly by the FCDA Board of Directors, and the initial funding for the scholarship/bursary fund is being provided by the proceeds from a firewood raffle currently underway. The size of the award(s) for 2009 will be determined solely by ticket sales for this raffle.
FCDA is selling tickets on one cord of cut, split and delivered North Mountain hardwood, with the ticket price set at $10 each. With only 100 tickets to be sold, your chances of winning are excellent and entry forms for the raffle may be found on Page 5 & 6 of this paper. The winning ticket will be drawn on Friday, December 19th and the lucky recipient will be contacted by telephone for delivery instructions. All proceeds from the raffle will go directly into the scholarship/bursary fund, and the inaugural award will be presented in May 2009.
