Message from the President Over the past year, the Museum worked on a “Sustainability Policy and Guide for Greening the Museum”. I'm excited to present (below) the Museum’s Sustainability Vision and Guiding Principles from our museum’s new Sustainability Policy – believed to be the first of its kind for a New Brunswick museum. Its aim is:

To help us save energy and water; recycle and compost more; and generate less waste To provide clear direction on what we can do, and offer best practices for us to aspire to To inform and educate, so that sustainability becomes a part of our everyday museum

culture Sustainability is consistent with our museum's purpose and mission. Trees and forests aren't just important to our economy; they also play a critical role in our local and global environment. By implementing the policies in this guide, we can be confident we're doing our part to create a sustainable, prosperous future. Let's work together to make our museum a showcase of sustainability!

Phyllis Robinson, President Central New Brunswick Woodmen’s Museum

Our Sustainability Vision

The Central New Brunswick Woodmen's Museum is a model of efficiency, sustainability and environmental responsibility for our visitors, youth, staff, volunteers and community. We strive:

To reduce our consumption of energy, water and other resources by practicing efficiency in all we do

To minimize solid waste through responsible purchasing, comprehensive recycling and composting

To purchase goods and services from sustainable sources and suppliers To educate our visitors, staff, volunteers and community about sustainability and

environmental best practices through our actions and exhibits To foster a culture of sustainability and continuous improvement among our staff,

volunteers and community To communicate our progress and success stories to our visitors, staff, volunteers and

community To serve as a positive and motivating example to other museums and community

institutions.

Our Guiding Principles

As a not-for-profit, community-based organization, we will work within our financial means. We will focus upon and prioritize practical, realistic actions that will make the most significant difference.

The museum’s primary mission is to showcase the economic and environmental importance of forests, past, present and future; our activities should be consistent, either directly or indirectly, with this mission

Sustainability is a journey as well as a destination; we are committed to learning, taking action and leading by example

Education is one of our core functions, and is most effective when people are engaged and having fun

We aspire that this Sustainability Policy be applied to all activities and events on the museum site, including special events hosted on our premises

We welcome the ideas, creativity and other resources of our staff, volunteers and community

We partner and collaborate wherever possible for ideas, best practices, funding and other resources

We are committed to integrity, accountability, transparency and continuous improvement Our team members are most engaged and productive when we maintain a positive,

motivating atmosphere in all of our operations We will measure and report our progress annually

RENOVATION/THANK YOU

The Central Miramichi Community Health Centre would like to thank our patients for their understanding as we continue with renovations to our clinic. We are pleased with the changes to date which will now allow us to better serve our patients with two registration windows as well as adaptations for patients requiring wheelchairs.

incontinence and prolapse as well as pelvic pain. She also has extensive knowledge on a variety of health

issues specific to women. She will assess and treat with a non-surgical approach.

A referral from your health care provider is required. For more information, please call Lisa at 365-6100.

KINDERGARTEN IMMUNIZATIONS

For patients at Central Miramichi Community Health Centre . . . A friendly reminder for

all children starting kindergarten in the Fall of 2019 to make an appointment to see a

health care provider for their four-year old’s check-up and appropriate immunizations

prior to school starting in September. Please call 365-6100 to book in one of our

immunization clinics as available appointments are limited.

The Centre for Disease Control & Prevention reports that vaccines prevent an estimated 2.5 million deaths

among children under 6 every year. Still one child dies every 20 seconds by a disease preventable by a

vaccine. Why? Because 1 in 5 children don’t have access to immunization or because their parents choose

not to immunize.

CANCER SUPPORT GROUP FOR WOMEN

our meetings again in the Fall, we will be assessing the situation since attendance has been

low. For more information, please contact Lisa at health centre at 365-6100.

If you are not a patient of the Health Centre, please get in touch with your family doctor or with Public Health regarding your child’s immunization requirements.

In Loving Memory o f THERESA HELENA ANN STURGEON

September 3 , 1949 – Apr i l 12 , 2017

My heart split in two,

One side filled with memories,

The other side died with you.

I often lie awake at night

When the world is fast asleep

And take a walk down Memory Lane

With tears upon my cheek.

Remembering you is easy,

I do it every day;

But missing you is a heartache

That never goes away.

I hold you tightly within my heart

And there you will remain.

You see, life has gone on without you

But will never be the same.

~ Fly fishermen are born honest,

but they get over it (Mark Twain) ~

The Atlantic Salmon Museum is pleased to announce that it will be adding an “on-line auction” component to its website from which we will be offering a wide selection of items for sale.

We’re beginning with a chance to win a three-day fishing trip to the famous Larry’s Gulch on the Restigouche River and will be following that up with an assortment of fly plates, prints and other items that we’re pretty certain will tweak your interest. We invite you to check our website at www.atlanticsalmonmuseum.com – the auction component should be up and running later this week so check it often to see what’s available (look for “Auctions” on the navigational menu at the top of our Home Page).

We kept our promise to restore the age of eligibility for Old Age Security and the Guaranteed Income Supplement from 67 to 65.

Our government is working hard to ensure seniors have the support they need and the secure and dignified retire-ment they deserve.

Our government has increased the OAS & GIS to improve the lives of 900,000 seniors across Canada.

We have invested $6 billion in palliative and home care to help more seniors live at home with dignity.

We have ensured 210,000 seniors are getting all the bene-fits they deserve with automatic enrollment for GIS.

FARMER’S MARKET

The Doak Provincial Heritage Site has a fine new vending area that was built over the winter months directly adjacent to its Barn. We’d like to make good use of it by hosting a weekly Farmer’s Market this summer – produce, jams, jellies, pickles, baked goods, crafts, knitting, quilts, plants,

maybe even some “gently used” items you’d like to see go to a good home.

If you think this would be a good idea – if you’d like to be part of it – if you have some suggestions as to how to make this Market work really well, please get in touch with Site Coordinator Valerie O’Donnell at 365-0049 (Cell) or at [email protected].

In Loving Memory of My Mom

Theresa Sturgeon

April 12, 2017 2 years since I’ve seen you; 24 months since I’ve heard

your voice; 730 days of missing you.

Each day I put one foot in front of the other and try to look

normal, but inside I am broken, angry and lost.

I wish I could rewind time. What I wouldn’t give to have

you here. ~ All my love, Loey xo

winds of enthusiasm sweep through

you. Live today with gusto.”

TO MY CHILDREN . . .

Never make fun of having to help me with

computer stuff. I’m the one who taught

you how to use a spoon.

How to Play Sudoku. The objective is to fill a 9x9

grid so that each column, each row, and each of the

nine 3x3 boxes contains the digits from 1 to 9.
