The special edition vinyl cover is by Matt Carroll of Central Station Design, the company best known for designing the Happy Mondays’ album sleeves, who has been quick to place Aitch in a lineage of “great wordsmiths from Manchester’s past” – including not just Ryder, but John Cooper Clarke. His song 1989 samples the Stone Roses’ Fools Gold and pays homage to Madchester’s annus mirabilis in its title, if not its lyrics. A rumoured collaboration with Liam Gallagher is nowhere to be seen, but Shaun Ryder’s voice booms out between tracks (as does that of Aitch’s dad, calling him “a knobhead” for failing to provide receipts for his expenses). The Houston government has since declared Owls Head a provincial park.A man who last year did a photoshoot in the former headquarters of Factory Records, Aitch has described his debut album Close to Home as “100,000% a proper Manchester album”. The area was quietly removed from a long list of approximately 260 sites identified as potential candidates for conservation or protection. The agreement comes in the wake of a protracted controversy over whether to designate Owls Head on the Eastern Shore as a protected area after the previous Liberal government approved the sale of the land to a private developer to build a golf course. “By 2023 we will have a new strategy for designating protected areas that will provide a road map for the next eight years as to what and where to protect,” Halman said. Collaboration and partnerships are essential.” “Last fall, Nova Scotia placed in legislation a conservation goal of protecting 20% of Nova Scotia’s lands and water to be preserved by 2030,” recalled Tim Halman, Minister for Environment and Climate Change. seek new opportunities for connecting key areas of protected and conserved lands, including completing a pilot project under Parks Canada’s National Program for Ecological Corridors by 2025, in collaboration with partners.Under the Nature Smart Climate Solutions Fund, Environment and Climate Change Canada has agreed to commit up to $10 million which will contribute to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and increasing carbon sequestration develop a funding agreement to conserve Old-growth Forests and address the hemlock woolly adelgid (an invasive pest).The federal government has committed to making a major investment, either land acquisition or infrastructure, by the end of 2023 complete the pre-feasibility assessment and work toward the designation of the Blue Mountain-Birch Cove Lakes area as Canada’s first urban wilderness park, together with the Halifax Regional Municipality, the Nova Scotia Nature Trust, and the Nova Scotia Mi’kmaq.
to advance negotiations on a funded Nature Agreement that will include protecting more natural spaces in Nova Scotia and increasing habitat protection for species at risk and migratory birds, to be finalized by 2023.The two levels of government have committed to several initiatives : “Nova Scotia’s leadership in supporting Canada’s conservation goals is something we would like to see from all provinces and territories in Canada, particularly as we are about to host the major United Nations biodiversity conference this December and champion more international conservation efforts.” “With commitments for an urban park, new ecological corridors, and other protected areas in the province, Nova Scotians will be happy to see a strong foundation for the establishment of a federal-provincial Nature Agreement by 2023.” “Today’s commitments represent a major step forward for the protection of nature in Nova Scotia,” said Guilbeault. The event was held at the Maskwa Aquatic Club, which borders the proposed Blue Mountain-Birch Cove Lakes wilderness area. Representatives from the Nova Scotia Nature Trust, Friends of Blue Mountain, and the Nature Conservancy of Canada were on hand Thursday when federal Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault made an announcement with his provincial counterpart promising to protect more of Nova Scotia’s land and biodiversity. On Thursday, Ottawa and Nova Scotia announced work would be done to make the area the country’s first urban park.
