BCHA Community Update - Thurs. Apr. 3, 2014, 7pm, PRCC

We’re back to share some more info on our upcoming 2014 AGM meeting TOMORROW NIGHT, 7pm at the PRCC.

DID YOU KNOW – Because we are a registered association, the Registry of Joint Stocks requires that we hold an AGM, have a presentation of minutes from the prior meeting, and have an official election of board members each year!

This would be your opportunity to get more involved in the Community! We’re ALWAYS looking for new participants to attend our meetings, make decisions on what BCHA works on to enhance your community, and be part of the Board of Directors.

Here’s some information on the positions that make up your BCHA Executive:

Board of Directors: 

Chair (or co-chairs) – Chairs meetings, distributes communication among group, a point of contact with external agencies.

Treasurer – Maintains financial records for the association and reports monthly on finances and prepares a year end summary.

Secretary –Records minutes at monthly meetings, summarizes action lists and distributes to members.

Members at large – Attend monthly meetings, support planning and execution of events and initiatives, championing issues to resolution.


We appreciate your support!

Comfort Centre Information Session
Oct. 29, 7pm

Is your community prepared to respond to another Hurricane Juan, or another White Juan.  Or perhaps a fire like the one at Porter's Lake? 

Joint Emergency Management (JEM) is a concept developed by Halifax Regional Municipality's Emergency Management Office (EMO) to allow communities to prepare for and respond quickly to a wide range of emergencies,  In times of crises, EMO will activate JEM Support Centres (JSC) to coordinate humanitarian response.

This unique HRM concept is based on the principle of "neighbour helping neighbour".  In the critical hours following a crisis situation, while local and provincial response agencies are dealing with the immediate and urgent needs of the municipality, residents in affected communities need to be prepared to help themselves and to assist their neighbours, who may have been seriously impacted by the event.  It is during this period that the JEM will be activated and will mobilize local resources in coordination with HEM EMO staff.

In the event that an emergency occurs in your area, The Prospect Road Community Centre can be designated to become a Comfort Centre, a Reception Centre, or even a provincially organized Evacuation Centre.

To prepare for such an event, JEM is looking for local citizens and groups interested in serving their community as comfort centre managers and support staff.  Training will be provided.  Those that wish to become volunteers will have the option of continuing training such as First Aid and Food Handling.

JEM is holding an information session on Tuesday, October 29, 2013 at 7:00 p.m. at The Prospect Road Community Centre.    Be part of the solution when emergencies strike.  For more information, please contact Karen Saulnier, Comfort Centre Coordinator at 477-8021 (evenings), or visit www.halifax.ca/emo/jems

Prospect Road Community Clean Up May 4th


Hi everyone, 

Time for a reminder to everyone that the Prospect Road Community Clean Up is coming back this May.  The cleanup will be May 4th, which is shortly after Earth Day.  
  
Areas organized and covered each year usually include Terence Bay area, Brookside area, McDonald Lake area, Bayview, Sandstone, Prospect area, and the East Dover area.  If you live in an area not listed but would like to be included please contact us.  As well The Prospect Road Lions Club, Citizen`s on Patrol and the local Scout troop will be cleaning from the start of the Prospect Road into Goodwood and are willing to have volunteers help them with that long stretch of road even if you are not available for the entire time.

Rubber gloves and garbage bags are provided by Clean Nova Scotia and TIR.  These can be  distributed to groups or individuals ahead of time.  Sharp containers and recycle bags are also available.

If you are interested in helping to organize in your community the start time for your group is entirely up to you but most groups start at 9am.  If you are looking for a place to clean just let us know.  Feel free to share this message with those that you know.  I can be reached at jollimp@halifax.ca to assist you in planning action in your community.

As we did last year we are able to have the midday clean up community BBQ at the Prospect Road Community Centre.  The BBQ will begin at noon and run for about an hour.  A couple of groups have offered to help with this part, thank you to them.  

A final note on the pick up of the garbage.  TIR (formerly Dept of Highways and DOT) will be removing the trash after the cleanup but they need to know where it is located.  Please remember to let us know where the piles are so I can share the locations with TIR.

The Brookside Community Homeowners Association is continuing the theme of clean up the following weekend.  Instead of the parks and ditches they are holding a community yard sale at the Prospect Road Community Centre on May 11th for those still looking to their closets and garages.  For more information on the yard sale contact Valerie at info@bcha.ca.

Thanks for your continued support of your community. 

Sincerely,
Peter Jollimore
