The Canadian Fellowship of Baden-Powell Guilds is an adult organization comprised largely of former members of Scouts Canada and Girl Guides Canada, and their spouses and friends, who, while no longer active at the grassroots level of scouting or guiding, wish to continue in a community service capacity. They support and assist the Scouting movement, whose mandate in turn is to “contribute to the education of young people, through a value system based on the Scout Promise and Law, to help build a better world where people are self-fulfilled as individuals and play a constructive role in society.” The 12th Canadian B-P Guild is the only chapter in Nova Scotia; its members come from, and serve, the entire province.

The goal of the Port Joli Community Association is to restore, renovate and then maintain the historic Port Joli School (Community Hall). Plans include establishing a local history museum on the upper floor of the building, and maintaining the main floor for community meetings and small functions.
The association was incorporated in September 1961, but membership and interest has declined in the past decade—and the hall is in disrepair. A small but enthusiastic group of community members has recently started things moving again. The building’s exterior will be restored to a period around the turn of the last century (1800-1900), celebrating its history dating back to 1868. The building’s original purpose was to house the school and later the community hall.

It provides a loving home for stray or neglected cats and dogs—or animals that people can no longer care for—while they wait to be adopted. The independent shelter can accommodate up to 25 cats and 12 dogs; it’s committed to a “no kill” policy, the exceptions being if there’s a serious illness or dangerous behavioural problem. |
