Fundraising Golf Tournament - July 15, 2012 - Indian Lake Golf Course
Written by Patricia MacKenzie
Please join us for our Canadian Jamboree 2013 fund raising golf tournament. CJ’13 will bring youth, leaders and volunteers from across the country and from around the world together for the ultimate Scouting experience.
Scouts will share friendship and adventure while experiencing personal development that only a jamboree experience can bring. CJ’13 will be held in Sylvan Lake, Alberta from July 6 – 13, 2013
As part of our fundraising events, we are pleased to hold our tournament at Indian Lake Golf Course, just off the Prospect Road. On Sunday July 15, 2012 over 75 golfers will meet at Indian Lake Golf Course to hit the links for some fun and friendly competition. Our goal is to raise money to assist in reducing the cost to send local youth involved in the scouting movement, to attend this once in a lifetime event.
We are looking for support from organizations and individuals like you to assist in making this golf tournament one to remember. There are various ways that you can contribute to this worth-wile cause from corporate sponsorship, entering a team, sponsoring a hole or donating prizes and items for our silent auction. The day will start with complementary coffee, tea and treats at the registration area. The tournament will commence with a “shotgun” start at 8am. Each team will receive welcome bags, chilled water, and list of the day’s activities. The day will be full of fun events and challenges including longest drive, closest to the pin, putting contest and much much more!
After the round golfers will gather to view the items and bid on for the silent auction while prizes are awarded for all participants.
This is a fantastic opportunity to show your community spirit and help in providing an opportunity to local scouts to participate in CJ’13. Please review the attached pages for more details on sponsorship and registering a team.

Industrial Businesses Support Community Service Organizations
Written by Barb Allen
With the welcome arrival of spring you cannot help but notice the garbage along the roadsides in many communities, but no so as you enter the Prospect communities.
For more than 15 years, Jack Mitchell, a long-time member of both the Prospect Road Lions Club and Citizens On Patrol, has worked collaboratively with Dan Chassie of Halifax C & D Recycling Ltd. to clean the roadsides at the start of the Prospect Road. Halifax C&D has been sponsoring sports teams and Community groups to clean up the ditches from the St Margarets Bay Road to Goodwood. The last couple of years under Jack and Dan’s leadership, many of the other Industrial businesses based in and around Mills Drive in Goodwood have joined in this undertaking, making generous financial donations to the service groups involved.
This year Halifax C&D was joined by Mills Heavy Hauling, John Ross and Sons Recycling, Royal Enviromental Group, Coastal Restoration and Masonary LTD, Willcraft Concrete Servces LTD, Wilmac Self Storage as sponsors of this community event. These and other companies in the Goodwood industrial park employ over a thousand people in peak seasons.
The stretch of road at the start of our community is pretty much a “no man’s land”, although it is very important as it is also the entrance to arguably Nova Scotia’s biggest tourist attraction, Peggy Cove.
Most of the contents of the dozens of bags of garbage picked up from the roadside in this area seemed to come from fast food outlets and must have been tossed from car windows by thoughtless people, who for some unknown reason think it is okay to dispose of waste in this manner. Shame on them!
The Prospect Road Lions Club and the Prospect Road Citizens On Patrol are two very important community service organization who work in countless ways to make our community a great place to live, including taking to the ditches annually to pick up litter and other materials that is an eyesore and pollutes the environment.
Both the Lions Club and the Citizens On Patrol have dwindling membership and are actively recruiting new volunteers to join them. If you or someone you know would like to serve the community, please consider joining one of these worthy organizations.

Federal Government cutting funding for public Internet access program - Help Save C@P!
Written by ROC
The Federal Government is cutting funding for the public Internet access program - this includes the sites located at Prospect Road Community Centre and Terence Bay.
From the http://www.savecap.ca/ website
The Federal Government states CAP "has achieved its objectives". Here are the real facts:
Community Access Program (CAP) objectives are to ensure all Canadians have equal access to the Internet and technology and have the skills to use it to better their lives and their communities.
Usage of CAP sites is still the same or more than in 1995 and training sessions are constantly in demand. Industry Canada knows this.
Who depends on CAP?
- Those without high speed Internet access.
- Low income and struggling families.
- Job seekers.
- Seniors and older workers.
- New Canadians.
- Workers who travel, especially in rural areas.
- Youth who need first time employment and technology skills.
- And many more: over 1 million one hour uses of a computer in Nova Scotia alone.
What does it cost? 42 cents per Canadian per year, less than the price of a phone call.
What Can You Do?

- Contact your local MP ( Click here to find yours )
- Contact Minister of Industry Christian Paradis...
