Relaxation Using Yoga
Posted Oct. 13th, 2021
A 10 week session of Relaxation Using Yoga Poses will start on Monday, October 18 at the Tidnish Crossroads Community Centre from 7-8 pm. As you are probably aware in order to enter the TCCC you will need to show proof of double vaccination, sign a consent form so we can hold your proof of vaccination in order not to have to show it every Monday, wear masks when off your mat, use hand sanitizer and clean up after ourselves, ie. bathroom. As in the past money raised will be split between the Stephen Lewis Foundation to help turn the tide of Aids in Africa (see www.stephenlewisfoundation.org for more information) and the Tidnish Crossroads Community Association which offers so many wonderful programs in our community. Suggested donation is $40 for all ten sessions and due to COVID no drop-ins will be allowed. An income tax receipt for the $20 portion that goes to the SLF will be sent from that Foundation before year’s end. These sessions are beginner level and you do not have to have yoga experience to attend. To quote Krishnamacharya, often known as the father of modern yoga, “if you can breathe, you can do yoga”. So just come, do what you can and breathe through the rest! If you’re planning on attending, and haven’t let me know yet, please send an email to lupin@seasidehighspeed.com to confirm your attendance and if possible please forward your vaccination record - if not bring a copy the first night that can be kept on file. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to send them along as well. Thanks and hope you’re enjoying this beautiful fall, Donna

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 Country Store Update
May 24th, 2021
According to the TCCA Facebook page the Tidnish Country Store has been sold and their is an entry from the new owners Jay and Samantha on May 18th. They mention about setting up a new Facebook page for the store. For those who do not have Facebook here is the entry.
Samantha and I have recently purchased the Tidnish Country Store. We are excited to re-open the store and can't wait to be a part of the community. Our initial plan was to reopen the store July 2021; unfortunately there is a lot of critical work that's needed.
We have started working on cleaning up the store by removing and dumping all inventory in the store. The products were beyond expired; additionally items have leaked and sodas have exploded, which caused further damage and additional clean up. This step is almost completed.
Next steps:
• Fix the foundation and level the floors
• New Roof as it's leaking
• As for the gas tanks, we are currently investigating the age of the tanks. We were told that they are 29 years old and will not be usable.
Once these have been completed, we can begin renovations inside the building.
Our goal is to reopen in the Spring of 2022. We will provide updates on our page as they come available.
We wish you a fun and safe summer and can't wait to meet you!
Thanks,
Jay & Samantha

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.
