Stamp Collectors: The Loyalist Landing 2008 Society in Shelburne, Nova Scotia, has worked with Canada Post to produce a collectible Picture Postage Stamp. This souvenir of the 225th anniversary of the loyalists’ landing is real postage and will always be valued at the current domestic rate which means that letters up to 30 grams will be delivered to any Canadian address, no matter what the letter rate at the time. .
These stamps can be ordered from the Loyalist Landing 2008 Society by E-mail from their web site. The Picture Postage stamp is a self adhesive stamp. Prices: $1.25 each; Keepsake Sheet with 20 Stamps: $30.00; Stamp Sheets (40 stamps): $50.00 (40 x $1.25).

Greetings from the Prairies: I am trying to collect information about my family who lived in the Wallace area in the late 1800's into the 1950's. Some of the children attended local schools in the Wallace area: how can I gain access to their names in rolls of attendance? Does anyone remember the family of: Sarah (nee: Rhindress) McFadden? Also, my Father went to sea when he was a young man. He spoke of sailing from the Wallace ports. Where can I obtain names and voyages of schooner ships from that era? Thank you for any information you can supply. Edith McFadden-Croft (nicky21@shaw.ca) You can find pictures of my ancestors on my face book page .... You can also borrow books I have written about growing up in Pugwash in the 1950's and early 1960's in the Pugwash library. Enjoy. From, Edith

Question ... is there going to be a schedule of events produced in the near future. Even if it is a tentative one, it will be something for some thinking of coming to NS to ponder. eg Handouts showing original sites, homesteads etc., Organized trips to visit grave sites? Horseshoe tournaments, guest speakers, tour guides etc. Just wondering as we hope to look to arrange for accommodation by the end of February and then schedule a three week vacation starting with the re-union.
