Subject: Invitation to Join me for the 26th Annual Bacon Elliott
Bursary Memorial Dinner (Case Ref: ES3077)
To: david.raymond.amos333@gmail.
Education changes lives !!
The Bacon Elliott Memorial Bursary has been supporting students furthering their education since 1994.
Over $74, 000 has been given to Cumberland North students over the years to support their education.
Please join me on Saturday May 7 for the 26th Annual Bacon Elliott Bursary Memorial Dinner.
This
will be the first Dinner since our beloved Honourable Roger S. Bacon
has left us. I cannot wait to honour him by supporting this Bursary in
his honour as well as honouring Mr. Elliott.
In the past we have enjoyed large turnouts, for both take-out and eat-in dinners and this year will offer both options as well.
I have tickets at my MLA office which you can pick up or I can also deliver them to you myself over the next week or so.
Please let me know by email or phone (902-661-2288) if you would like
tickets to this great Turkey Dinner. Duncan’s Pub will be catering the
meal.
Please join me on Saturday May 7th at the Knights of Columbus Hall in Amherst, NS
Reception/Cocktails 5:00pm
Sit Down Turkey Dinner 6:00pm
Take-out Dinners can be picked up between 5-6pm
Live & Silent Auction after Dinner
Tickets are $40 each and eligible for a $15 tax receipt.
Here is a little more details of the Dinner, the Society and
its history. There is a volunteer committee that have organized this
important Memorial Dinner and this information below is from the
organizing committee:
The
Bacon- Elliott Dinner was first held in 1994 in order to raise money
for bursaries for graduates from the high schools in Cumberland North,
who planned to continue their education. Since then, 80 students have
been awarded a bursary, starting at $500, then $750 and at $1000, since
2003. In total $74,000 has been given out so far and a further $8,000 by
way of school prizes. In 1996, the Cumberland North Progressive
Conservative Scholarship Society was formed and incorporated and
registered with Revenue Canada. It has organized the dinner since then,
with one exception and two misses due to the pandemic, but for a total
of 25 times. Since the death of The Honourable Roger S. Bacon it is now
named the BaconElliott Memorial Bursary and the Bacon- Elliott Memorial
Dinner. It continues as a tribute to the life and work of two special
men and to their many contributions to the political life of our area.
Due to the high cost of lobster we now offer a full-course turkey
dinner, both sit down and take-out. For the first time this year,
purchasers of a ticket will also be able to receive a $15 tax receipt.
This year, the last six bursary winners will be invited as special
guests and will each be given the opportunity to say a few words. There
will be a guest speaker , as well as brief remarks from some elected
members. It is hoped that a live and silent auction will add to the
profits from the event. As in the past, this dinner is more than a
fund-raiser. It is an opportunity for people to meet with elected
officials, get to know the students whom they have helped and enjoy a
good meal ,as well as the company of their friends.
Thank you to all you have supported in the past and will continue in the future,
Elizabeth
Elizabeth Smith-McCrossin MBA, BScN
Cumberland North MLA
Live everyday to the fullest and love as much as humanly possible.

2 female MLAs allege premier's conduct intimidating, seek ruling from Speaker
Tim Houston 'made a derogatory comment meant to intimidate, embarrass me,' says Elizabeth Smith-McCrossin
Two MLAs are accusing Nova Scotia Premier Tim Houston of abusive behaviour meant to intimidate opposition members, particularly women.
Elizabeth Smith-McCrossin, who has sat as an Independent since being tossed from the PC caucus for participating in a blockade of the Trans-Canada Highway last summer, has asked Speaker Keith Bain to rule on whether her former leader's behaviour was meant to intimidate her.
She said after she complained about what she considered the premier's attempt to influence the chair of a committee during debate, Houston lobbed an insult her way "loud enough for everyone in the chamber to hear".
"He made a derogatory comment meant to intimidate and meant to embarrass me," said Smith-McCrossin. "It was very upsetting."
"It makes me feel uncomfortable to even come in this chamber to know that there are things being said and done to purposely intimidate me, which I do feel affects my ability to work effectively and confidently to represent the people of Cumberland North."
Houston won't say what he said
According to former Liberal cabinet minister Kelly Regan, Houston shouted, "Why don't you block another highway?" Smith-McCrossin confirmed that's what she heard too.
But as MLAs filed out of the chamber after the sitting officially ended late Friday, Houston flatly denied that's what he said.
"No, I did not," he said. "Listen, look, tensions are always high in the House, particularly at the end of the sessions."
"Session's over. It was a productive session. Lots of legislation passed and budget passed. We're going to leave on a high note."
Asked what he did say to Smith-McCrossin, Houston responded, "Look, things happen in the chamber and things get said back and forth," he said.
"We closed the session and it's a good day and we're going home and back to our constituencies."
Incident involving cabinet minister
In a separate but related incident, Regan has officially complained to the Speaker about the way a PC cabinet minister treated her and others.
Smith-McCrossin left the chamber after the disagreement with Houston. Regan joined her with another Liberal, Patricia Arab.
The three were speaking when Economic Development Minister Susan Corkum-Greek walked by and called the women a "coven," or gathering of witches.
Apology from cabinet minister
The cabinet minister admitted doing that and publicly apologized for the remark yesterday.
"I take full responsibility for my actions," said Corkum-Greek. "My greatest disappointment is in myself to have allowed myself to be caught up in the moment here.
"I know that I did not conduct myself as my best self in the person I wish to be and for that I am very apologetic."

Legislature on April 22, 2022. He denies that he said the following to
Independent MLA Elizabeth Smith McCrossin: Why don't you block another
highway? (Jean Laroche/CBC)
Regan acknowledged that apology, but also put the blame for what happened on Houston.
"I do accept her apology, but what I don't accept is what led up to that because I do feel that by the continuous actions of the premier in doing things like directing chairs in their duty or by doing things like yelling things at a member with whom he has a [personal] beef, he is trying to intimidate members of this House," Regan said on the floor of the chamber.
Premier says he's 'focused on Nova Scotians'
Houston brushed off the accusations and the appeal to the Speaker.
"There's lots of points of order during the session," he said. "It's just the way of the legislature. People see opportunities, they try to take them but I'm just very focused on Nova Scotians."
Last fall, after a similarly raucous sitting, Houston pledged to improve decorum at Province House.
"Everyone's getting a little bit cranky, I would say. I made a commitment on the floor of the House and I'll make that anywhere else that, as premier, I have a responsibility to set the standard and I'll do better to raise the decorum in the House, as well," said Houston last October.
During that sitting Houston also apologized after suggesting minimum wage jobs aren't "real jobs."
Previous apology
The premier and Corkum-Greek were not the only MLAs whose conduct was called into question during this spring's sitting.
Liberal MLA Brendan Maguire apologized to Community Services Minister Karla MacFarlane following comments he made directed at her during budget debate.
Since the spring sitting has come to an end, Speaker Keith Bain's ruling on the complaints against Houston and Corkum-Greek won't come until the fall sitting.
