Since that time we've done research into the possible benefits and costs involved in seeing Kings Transit extend it's route to Yarmouth. As per conversations with their GM Brian Hackett what is needed is positive public support leading to the request and support of the Yarmouth Town and Municipal Councils, and possibly support from Clare Council, to make this happen. Kings Transit was incorporated in 1981 and services the area between Wolfville and Weymouth. It is a subsidized transit and receives the support of local Governments in the areas in which it operates. Thus it will require significant commitment by ou...

In November 2006 the Skills Sub-Committee Business Environment Committee released a Policy Statement, the Nova Scotia Skills Shortage. Meanwhile the Tri-County Regional School Board posts a A Message to Employers from the Department of Education on Nov. 23, 2006 stating the Skills and Learning Branch of the Department of Education has launched a new initiative called Invest in Youth. Which encourages employers to get involved to help foster needed skills in future employees. One thing for sure in order to survive and find the needed employees in what is now ...

Supplementing the modest income from our online activities is something that appeals to me as do the hours of my new job! Basically working for K Line Construction in Yarmouth we work 10 to 12 hour days, three to four days a week. What I like about the schedule is it allows me to have a good number of hours to spend working on YarmouthCounty.com and doing other things I enjoy! All at the same time earning a full time income. As any small business owner will tell you the first few years in any venture is definitely more investment than income!

Three of the biggest challenges I've had to deal with in developing yarmouthcounty.com were a lack of funding, and a lack of an adequate computer, and a lack of manpower. (despite my many long 14 - 16 plus hour days!). As a result when our computer goes down it often takes us awhile to recuperate and we fall behind. The Site starts to become outdated.
