Message from
Mayor Gary Goobie
As your Mayor, I’m delighted to take this opportunity to wish everyone a safe,
relaxing and enjoyable summer. I also want to welcome all visitors to our town,
and former residents who are home to spend time with family & friends. We
hope you take in all the summer festivities and leave with fond and long-lasting
memories of your visit.
Again this summer, our Recreation Department and Community Events
Committee have an abundance of activities planned for the whole family. If you
wish to volunteer in the Town, simply call the Town Office or speak with one of
our committee members. For our new residents, it’s a wonderful opportunity to
get involved with the community and meet new friends. We’d love to have you
on board!
SquidFest 27 (July 15-19) is fast approaching, and our committee has lots of
activities in store for the whole family to enjoy. There’s truly something for
everyone! A schedule of events will be mailed to each household and posted on the new and improved
www.SquidFest.ca. The “famous” Beach Party is promising to be another huge success featuring the popular bands
Shanneyganock, The Navigators & Rum Ragged. A beautiful fireworks display will illuminate Holyrood Harbour and
there’ll be lots of other family events throughout the Town.
Camp A’hoy will certainly keep all the children busy throughout the summer. As well, the Recreation Department is
hoping to launch a new pilot program called Teen’s A’hoy. I’m sure our Recreation Director, Steve and his summer staff
will have an abundance of activities for them to enjoy.
For our Forever Young group, an outdoor seniors social with the St. Pat’s Dancers and the Celtic Fiddlers is slated for
July 28. Another exciting opportunity is extended to you on August 13 with our summer bus excursion to the Ferryland
Dinner Theatre. Again this summer, the Morning Boardwalk Group will be offering a daily stroll along the beach. Great
exercise to start your day! That’s just a highlight of some of the events & activities planned for the next few months.
On behalf of my Council collogues, I want to take this opportunity to sincerely thank our volunteer committees and our
Town Staff for the great work they’re doing as they continue to make Holyrood a wonderful place to live, learn, work,
play & invest! Come Ashore and Explore!

Holyrood Public Library: Job Creation Partnerships
This project was initiated to improve and secure the premises of the library where
children and adults can gather to read and learn. The library has a great presence
in the Town of Holyrood, and has many programs for pre-school children, youth,
and adults. These programs provide people with the opportunity to read in a
supporting environment. As well, it provides an opportunity for people to take a
book home for leisure purposes or to get the support which they may need to
better their skills.
The project allowed the library to replace the entrance system ensuring
accessibility and safety for all users. The interior of the building was repainted
to improve the visual effects of the Library. The bathrooms were repaired and
modernized and a children’s room has been constructed to promote a welcoming
and secure environment for learning. Finally, familiar children characters now
drape the walls where children can learn to read in a quiet and comforting
manner. This project is another example of how small nonintrusive projects
can add to the services and infrastructure within the Town of Holyrood. These
projects, while small in dollar amounts, create an opportunity to positively affect
the important services that residents have become accustomed. This project of
$33,000 has made a vast difference in the ability of the Library Committee and the
librarian to deliver programs.
The Town’s Economic Development Department continues to work with the local
groups and organizations to improve services while searching for ways to support
and grow small and large businesses. We continue to look for innovative ways to support and grow the Town to ensure
residents have the best possible place to Live, Learn, Work, Play and Invest.
Your opinion, thoughts, and concerns are important to us, please feel free to call or visit the office if we can help you and/or
your group/business. Our door is always open. Marjorie Gibbons 229-7252 ext. 205, email [email protected].

Eco-marine tours in Holyrood.
The ocean is deep and full of mystery. When you look past the surface,
it’s teeming with sea-life large and small. Each creature has a story
– and at Coastal Connections, we love to share these stories to foster
a long-term love of the ocean. We sail out of North Arm, Holyrood in
small groups to explore beautiful Conception Bay.
We’re all about sustainable eco-marine tours. That means we strive
to leave no footprint on our environment. We respect our waterways
and the creatures that inhabit them. Our goal is to inspire awe and
understanding about this wild and wonderful web of life – whether it’s
through discovering shipwrecks, hauling lobster pots, catching cod,
socializing with squid and seabirds or tagging sharks as part of realworld conservation research.
Catch a sunset cruise on Tuesdays and Thursdays, or explore sand,
sea, and sky any day of the week. We’ll send your family home with a
boatload of memories and a new appreciation of this big blue world.
Captain Jan Negrijn
Our guests are in good hands with
Captain Jan. He’s been in love with
the sea his whole life. As the founder
of Coastal Connections, he’s brought
together his years of experience as a
fisherman, diver, educator, heritage
interpreter and research vessel
captain to inspire people to care
deeply about the ocean.
He’s a gifted teacher who blends
state-of-the-art technology
(sonar, subsea cameras and
remotely operated vehicles),
with hands-on, active learning
to showcase science and inspire
people of all ages.
Capt. Negrijn is also the
cofounder of the Oceans Learning
Partnership and the main supplier
for its Coastal Explorers field
school. This floating classroom
delivers interpretive programs to
students, as well as a professional
development program for teachers.
We can customize a tour for you. Find out more or book your spot.

Jump aboard for a
journey of discovery!
Vessels are Transport Canada-approved and
operated by experienced captains and crew. Safety
is our priority. Life vests and a safety orientation are
provided to all passengers.
Coastal Explorers is an exciting boat-and shore-based
marine science program for youth aged 8 to 17. This is a
one-day program that can be tailored for youth groups,
summer camps and school groups.
Participants get to be a marine scientist for the day,
all while undertaking an at-sea adventure! They get to
pilot a remotely operated vehicle (ROV), investigate
water quality in an estuary, dissect a squid, observe
seabirds in their habitat, and pull up a snow crab pot.
They even get to steer a 42-ft boat, and much more!
How can groups get involved?
Groups can charter our services and come aboard
our ‘floating classroom’ for a ‘day on the bay’! We
will work with you to customize the boat and shore
experiences to meet the goals of your program. Our
team of enthusiastic marine educators are on site to
ensure that participants have a safe, stimulating and
fun-filled experience.
These young Coastal Explorers may get their hands wet,
but this promises to be a day that they will never forget!
Who is offering the program?
The Coastal Explorers field program is offered by the
Oceans Learning Partnership, in collaboration with
Parks Canada and Memorial University.
How can I get more information?
To receive an information package and to schedule
your field trip, please contact Chelsie Archibald, the field
program manager at Oceans Learning Partnership.

Did You Know?
No person shall cause, set light, or
ignite an open air fire within the
Town of Holyrood without first
applying and obtaining a permit
from the Holyrood Volunteer Fire
Department
The Holyrood Volunteer Fire
Department was established in the
late 1960’s. Since the inception of the
Holyrood Volunteer Fire Department
it has matured into a well-established,
highly trained force of young men
and women, who faithfully serve the
citizens of Holyrood. In 2014 the
Holyrood Volunteer Fire Department
12
I
responded to 86 calls for assistance
and members strive to continue and
improve every aspect of what we do for
our community and its citizens. Today
we provide fire protection and other
services to roughly 2200 citizens in the
Holyrood area. We also have mutual
aid verbal agreements with other Towns
in the vicinity.
Here are some of the incentives
for those who are members of the
Holyrood Volunteer Fire Department:
Members of the department are not
paid but receive a yearly stipend
allowance for attending training,
incident calls, and community events.
They also receive a federal tax credit
of $3,000 per year with 200 volunteer
hours. Firefighters become certified in
firefighting, hazmat, extrication, rescue,
standard first aid, and fire inspection
training. You will also take part in
comradeship, socials, annual fire fighters
ball, annual provincial training by FESNL, and much, much more.
Equal opportunities for people to
join our department. Here’s what
one volunteer had to say about the
Holyrood Volunteer Fire Department:
Every now and then someone asks
me why I joined the fire department. I
don’t have an answer for them; I don’t
know why I did, it just felt like the
right thing to do. I do, however, have
lots of answers for why I enjoy it so
much. It makes me feel good knowing
that I am a part of an organization
that is dedicated to the aid of people
:summer 2015: Town of Holyrood
when they are going through difficult
situations. The comradery within the
department is like nothing else I have
experienced. They accepted me without
any judgement, treat me with respect
and I am proud to call them my friends.
We also have a great social scene. We
came together to completely renovate
the old Town Hall and we often get
together for pot lucks, darts, bbq’s, or
just to hang out. The training I have
received has been top notch and I have
experienced things I never dreamed
of. For example, I once went inside a
flashover simulator where the interior
temperatures exceeded 1200° Celsius.
I think the main reason I joined is that I
simply believe I am a better person for
having become a volunteer firefighter.
Having said all that, I enjoy being a
member of our local fire department
with the hope that you will find them
out for yourself!

environment where decomposer
organisms can break down the organic
waste and recycle nutrients back into
the soil.
• Add a small, covered container in
your kitchen for collecting food scraps
(organic waste).
• Once full, empty into a Backyard
Composter. Rinse your container
each time it is emptied or line it with
newspaper that can also go in the
compost bin.
• If you are using a Backyard
Composter, place it in an area that
is sunny to absorb and retain heat,
has good drainage, and ensure it is in
an accessible area that can be easily
accessed all year long.
• Turn the soil in the location where
the compost bin will be placed to
allow for proper drainage and the
movement of soil organisms.
• Avoid adding the following to
compost as they may cause problems
such as odors, pests, or unnecessary
toxins: all meat products, fish &
shellfish, bones, fat, grease, oils &
sauces, all dairy products, weeds
gone to seed, diseased plants,
dog & cat waste, plants treated
with pesticides, wood treated with
chemicals, charcoal.
If you choose not to do your own
backyard composting- the Town of
Holyrood has a Community Compost
Centre at our Town Depot. So there is
no excuse for you not to compost!
Composting is good for the
environment. Composting:
• Helps us reduce waste sent to landfills
• Reduces greenhouse gas emissions
• Reduces pollution
• Reduces the need for chemical
fertilizers and pesticides.
Adopt a Spot
We encourage residents and local
volunteers to show your Holyrood Pride
and take ownership of our local public
spaces and roads by removing litter and
keeping Holyrood a great place to Live,
Learn, Work, Play and Invest. Sign up
today by contacting the Town Office to
register a “spot” in which you and your
family, friends and neighbors will take
special care to eliminate and prevent
litter.
End of Life
Electronics Program
The Town of Holyrood has
partnered with Eastlink for the
End-of-Life Electronic program. A
bin has been placed in the lobby
of the Town Office to which is
a drop off point for end of life
recycling. Only premise equipment
is permitted to be placed in this
bin. Premise equipment refers to
digital boxes, internet modems
and telephony/Wi-Fi modems. For
more information, please contact
the Town Office.
