Dear Residents,
If you are looking for things to do this summer, Richmond County is the
place to be! As you read through this issue, you will find the dates and
locations of our local festivals and events and you will learn all about our
summer recreation programming. We are sure you will find something to
suit your needs.
Richmond County`s natural assets can also provide countless hours of
adventure and fun. Taking a walk on one of our local trails or surfing at
Point Michaud Beach will surely allow you to take a break from the daily
stresses of life. We are surrounded by natural beauty. This summer, take
the time to rediscover Richmond County. You might be amazed by what
you discover!
On Canada Day, fireworks will be held at dusk at Lennox Passage Provincial Park and over St. Peter`s Bay. Celebrations will be held in nine
different locations throughout the County. They are all hosted by community groups and sponsored by your local councillors. Please come and
celebrate with neighbours and friends.
Local talent will again be showcased during our Concerts by the Sea Series
in St. Peter`s and in Arichat. Bring your lawn chair to enjoy the sights and
sounds that are truly unique to Richmond County. Many of these artists
will be present at our local festivals. It`s a perfect opportunity for families
and friends to reunite and for lasting memories to be created.
Please have a safe and enjoyable summer. Follow us on Facebook and
refer to our website for up-to date information about our municipality and
our events.
Enjoy all we have to offer in Richmond County!

Municipal Council
ADMINISTRATION
Richmond County Municipal Council
Message from the Deputy Warden
Summer is finally in the air and with that comes a large line-up of fun filled events and activities including the
many festivals that will be taking place across Richmond County. What a great way to showcase our Municipality
with the warm and inviting hospitality that we offer to our visitors and tourists alike.
We are extremely pleased that Phase 1 of the Richmond Tourism Strategy is moving forward with the Glenn Group
Construction Administrators overseeing the first phase construction at the St. Peter’s Canal, Isle of 100 Coves
and the Cape Breton Blueways. Although this has been a lengthy process, we are deeply indebted to our many
partners who have come on board and shared our vision to make Richmond County the very best place it can be.
Also a sincere thank you to our staff for all their hard work, dedication and commitment to the residents of
Richmond County.
We hope that you will all have a relaxing, safe and enjoyable summer.
Please take the time to join us on Facebook or visit our website for up-to date information on our municipality or

Awareness Facts
* Only 6% of boys and 2% of girls (15-19 years old) achieve 60 min of moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA)
per day on at least 6 days per week
* 73% of 13-17 year olds are watching tv, playing video games and on the computer after school.
* Physical activity participation drops with increase age, more drastically among girls than boys. A longitudinal study
showed that less than 50% of girls continued to participate in team sports in grade 9 as compared to grade 7.
* Only 23% of teens 13-17 years old actively commute to school and 63% use an inactive mode of transportation.
Inactive modes of transportation have increased steadily since 2000.
* Between 1986 and 2006, walking for trips to school declined (from 38.6% to 30.7% for 14-15 year olds).
* Get active and you can get better grades - increased time in physical activity is associated with better academic
achievement.
* Adolescents and young adults that regularly practice sport present higher levels of physical self-concept
(activity, endurance, strength, flexibility, coordination, sport, health body fat, appearance) than their peers who are
not involved in sports activities.
* Highly-involved athletes are less likely to engage behaviours such as smoking and recreational drug use as
compared to non-athletes.
* Psychological factors such as self-efficacy, body image and physical self-esteem are significant predictors of
physical activity among adolescents.
* Teenage boys engage in more unstructured physical activity than girls.
* Canadian adolescents tend to be less active in the winter months.

Lyme Disease Awareness
It’s a great time of year to enjoy outdoors,
but we need to be aware and careful in
areas where there may be blacklegged ticks
(also called deer ticks). These are very
small ticks - sometimes as small as the
period at the end of a sentence. These ticks
can carry the germ that causes a bacterial
infection called Lyme disease. Deer ticks
are found across Nova Scotia. Please visit
www.novascotia.ca/hpp/cdpc/lyme.asp for
more information.

It is emailed out each Wednesday and
