Community Hall update
September 28th, 2021
Effective October 4th under the Nova Scotia provincial COVID regulations, participants in activities at the hall will be required to show proof of vaccination (2 jabs) in order to participate in the activity.
Activity leaders will be asking each participant to show proof of vaccinations.
The TCCA board completely agrees with the provincial regulations to protect our association, members and our community.
Nova Scotia’s top doctor says the province is on track to enter Phase 5 of its reopening plan on Oct. 4, but expects the mask mandate to remain in place as the fourth wave of the pandemic sweeps across the Maritimes.

Tidnish & Area Spring Clean-Up
May 3rd, 2021
In early April there was a Facebook entry of a local resident cleaning up ditches in her local area. Soon after there were many entries from local residents applauding her efforts and deciding to also participate in cleaning up their local areas. Seeing the positive entries from the community the President of the TCCA has asked all residents if they would help clean up their community. He would have the county place a dumpster or more if needed in the area for residents to place the garbage after collection. Many residents came forth with planning their own clean-up of their local area, roads and shoreline.
The date was set for Saturday & Sunday May 1st and 2nd. The dumpsters were delivered Friday to 4 different locations and there was a huge influx of residents who came in during the weekend with there bags to drop off. By Sunday afternoon two of the four bins were full and the other two were filled by Monday morning.
This very well could become an annual event and be a great opportunity to take pride in your community, gather as a group each spring to socialize and clean up after a long winter.
The board is asking all residents to come forward with their thoughts and suggestions on how we go forward with this clean-up.
For TCCA members who don't have Facebook you can still go on the site as it is open to everyone. You will be able to scroll through several entries of the clean-up and some with photos. https://www.facebook.com/groups/TCCA2011/
Thank You very much to everyone who participated in this clean-up. Well done.
Hopefully next year the bags will be fewer and smaller.

During 2020 The Tidnish Bridge Fire Dept. raised money to cover the cost of two new engines for their Zodiac rescue boat. Later in the spring the money was raised and the engines were ordered to be ready for the summer months.
“In the summer months our shorelines are home to an estimated 8,000 cottage goers, swimmers, boaters, and tourists,” he said. “In the past eight years our department has averaged four rescue calls a summer.” said Chief Andy Fullerton.

NOTICE:
For those with smart phones and I Pads we have found a issue to deal with the menu.
There is only a small arrow on the top left hand corner which opens up the menu. Once the menu comes up there are small arrows to the right of News & Information and Board & Committees to open their sub-menus. I have darken the homepage with a blue background to make the arrow easier to see on the homepage. Hope this helps. This is the theme of the website so this can not be changed and many websites are going this way on their menu pages for phones and I Pads. Sorry for the inconvenience. I have added these pictures to help show you the links. Any problems let us know.
We do thank you for bringing this to our attention.
