The Bluenose Coastal Action Foundation (BCAF) is a non-profit community-based charitable organization with a mandate to address the environmental concerns within Lunenburg County, Nova Scotia. BCAF’s goals are to promote the restoration, enhancement, and conservation of our ecosystem through research, education, and action. The organization receives direction from a volunteer Board of Directors supported through a full time Executive Director. BCAF has been an established member of the Lunenburg County community since its inception in December 1993. Over the past 16 years, BCAF has successfully completed a number of projects in the Towns of Mahone Bay, Lunenburg, and Bridgewater, as well as the Village of Chester. The majority of our projects involve a public outreach and education component and have addressed numerous environmental themes over the years such as: climate change, habitat restoration, species at risk, water quality, solid waste education, pollution prevention, water and energy conservation, and watershed management planning, to name only a few. BCAF called the Mahone Bay Centre home this past summer, 2009.

During the summer of 2009, the Mahone Bay Centre received a summer student grant from Canada Summer Jobs to employ a student worker to paint the old half of the Centre. The Centre then hired additional student workers to help finish the task. We would like to take this time to thank Kelly MacDonald, Kris Richards (both pictured right), Colin Oxenham and Shane Morrison for their fabulous work!
