Nova Scotia Self Isolation and the Fixed Roof Accommodation Act

  If it is on Facebook, it must be true? Well, the above was an informational Meme found On Facebook and kinda spells out the implications of what a 14 day Quarantine means.  The Nova Scotia Government have a fairly good  COVID-19 Website that provides some hot topic sub links. The "Symptoms and Testing" spells out the 14 day self Isolation requirement. The provincial government is taking things very seriously as spelled out in our earlier Blog " CKBW Social Isolation made easy ", back in August 04.  Fixed Roof Accommodation Act spells out that 28 days or less is considered a "Short Term Accommodation" and to offer these short term accommodations, the provider needs to have been granted a license. So, this weeks BLOG we will ponder the issue of Who, What Where and Why implications while trying to mesh the two issues. The would-be tourist looking to secure lodging in Nova Scotia for Self Isolation will need a reason for entry into the province, a place to

BILL NO. 101 - Tourist Accommodations Registration Act

  Tourist Accommodations Registration Act The management of Welshtown Haven Inc., are not legal experts nor do we wish to project ourselves as such. If anything that follows interests you, please seek professional legal advice. Our opinion may not reflect the intent of the act or the intentions of the Nova Scotia Government. What is written below is observation on our part only. In 2019, the province of Nova Scotia passed some legislation regarding Tourist Accommodations. In short, they are defining some responsibilities. We've provided the link above and we'll talk about some of it below. Now, lets look at the timing of this new act. It received Royal Assent on April 12, 2019. This means that anyone falling into the business construct of Short Term Accommodation (as defined by the act) are now falling under these laws. In Nova Scotia, the tourism season starts in April 1st, with a new "Fixed Roof Accommodation" license payed for by the provider around this date. It h

2020 - South of the 49th Parallel - US of A

  The first polls will close at 6 p.m. Eastern time and with luck the world will sleep at peace, the world will not end. It is expected that the counting of ballots will result in an uneventful resolution to the 2020 Election for the US of A. Canada being North of the 49th Parallel is always affected by its big neighbour to the South. Many Canadians are glued to devices watching this 2020 US of A election unfold. South Shore Nova Scotia is home to many a "Summer House" and has always received our US of A neighbours with open arms, regardless of who leads the country. So, in a nut shell, for South Shore, Welshtown Haven, an All Season, Weekly Rental Vacation House.... We look forward in continuing to offer our humble accommodation to all, regardless of who wins tonight.

Town and Municipal Elections for Shelburne 2020

  A new face for the old town of Shelburne Nova Scotia. Both Town and Municipal Elections are now over. Day to day business can resume. On  October 6, 2020 Our BLOG talked about the opportunity for change. One main issue was the use of the Rail trail. So, what happened with regard to that Rail Trail decision? <<According to the town, voter turnout in the election was 58.6 per cent. There was also a non-binding plebiscite question on the ballot. The question was: Should the rail trail as it passes through town be open to off-highway vehicles? There were 423 No votes and 374 Yes votes.>> Currently to get the Town of Shelburne results, one can read The Chronicle Herald article that provides the numbers quoted above; as well as, who's been elected as mayor and council. In time the Town of Shelburne will update their  Website for easy reference. The Municipality has already updated their page to reflect the recent election.  So, while the non-binding plebiscite on t

High Speed Internet - Welshtown Area - Update

  Fibre Optic is now available in the Welshtown area of the Municipality of Shelburne, NS. In the July 14, 2020 - High Speed Internet BLOG we talked about the upgrade in anticipation of the install. At long last it has happened. Why did it take our area so long and have their been other issues? Good question and deserving of some answers. Over the last few days we've had a pile of information thrown at us and a few decisions to make. The picture above is the net outcome of it all but what a ride! During our Yearly Management Review , some time was spent on site reviewing the property and how far along the running of new cable had progressed. Prior to arrival, Nova Scotia Power had cut trees along the roadside to allow the installation of a new Power Line. During August, they did manage to place the poles in the ground. Soon after leaving Shelburne Nova Scotia, we were informed that the Fibre Crew were stringing of cable along the road. Our part was to have a Fibre Optic strung fro

Upcoming Town and Municipal elections...

  Titan can be heard snarling and barking like a ferocious wild animal while he sleeps. He is dreaming. About what, I don't think anyone really knows. By day, he is a lovable Labrador quietly nudging for attention. Everybody has dreams. Some dreams we have while we sleep while others dreams while awake. It is these wakeful dreams of what could be, that can drive things forward or possibly into stagnation if they are to wild or ungoverned.  The Town Shelburne has an upcoming election for Town Council. The candidates are projecting what they believe they can accomplish and the towns people are looking for a way forward. Of concern for all are the Budgetary issues. Other common issues look to be available activities for youth, the cost of food, the Rail Trail and the issue of growth. Growth will occur within the area over time regardless of it being managed or not. No one has a crystal ball that sees into the future. Looking into the past to project a future vision can be difficult. M
