Recreation and Culture Services The Recreation and Culture Services Department has three main responsibility areas. First, it advises and reports on the development and execution of policy in the areas of leisure and tourism. Several current policies of interest to the public would be the Special Needs Policy, Community Grants Policy and District Recreation Funds Policy. Secondly, staff work with individuals and communities to provide as wide a range as possible of recreation programs and services, as affordably as possible. The volunteer sector is essential to the achievement of this. Staff focus, as much as possible, on assisting volunteers. Assistance ranges from helping groups with managing meetings, training volunteers, leadership development, etc. to developing parks, trails, natural areas, tourism, sports and cultural facilities and programs. Sharing and disseminating information, and helping groups find fiscal and human resources are other key areas.A third area of concentration for the Department is direct program delivery. The Municipality operates a six lane, 25 metre indoor Municipal Swimming Pool in Milford. The Pool offers all levels of swim and leadership classes, recreational and family swims, aquatic fitness and lane swims, as well as, diving, swim team, parent classes and group rentals. For complete information, call the Pool at 758-3467. Other direct programs are summer day camps, outdoor swim lessons in communities that cannot access the Pool easily, occasional special events, and some after school activities in partnership with host communities. This year, East Hants is a proud partner with the Chignecto Central Regional School Board, the Departments of Education and Health, and the Nova Scotia Sport and Recreation Commission to pilot an Active School Communities site. Concentration is on Hants North Rural High School and its four feeder schools. The Director of Recreation and Culture Services also provides staff support to the Heritage Advisory Committee of Council and consequently some Department resources are directed there as well.
