“…This led to losses to the overall region. The effects, while slow, were insidious and relentless (Acheson, 1988;Forbes and Muise, 1993;Brym and Sacouman, 1979;Conrad, 1988;Burrill and McKay, 1987). In the next section of this paper, a consultation process conducted by the Nova Scotia Agricultural College's Rural Research Centre provides some preliminary insights into the extent to which the corporate model exhibits the problems Lyson (2006, pp.…”

Purpose -The purpose of this paper is to examine a model of corporate and civic communities as it relates to change in rural Atlantic Canada. The aim is to frame questions relevant to what appears to be a situation of changing paradigms. Design/methodology/approach -This paper is largely conceptual. An exploration of Lyson's model of corporate and civic communities, review of selected Atlantic Canada historiography, and preliminary findings of a research consultation offer understanding of the historical and changing paradigmatic terrain of rural communities and agriculture in Atlantic Canada. Selected issues, emerging from the literature as well as from a series of consultations held with farmers, rural non-profits, policy makers, businesses, agricultural groups and others, are examined in the context of the region's past and the corporate and civic models outlined by Lyson. Atlantic historiography is discussed in view of contemporary challenges, and questions relevant to change in the region are raised and framed. Findings -Increasingly vulnerable to a number of provincially, regionally, nationally and globally formulated challenges, Atlantic Canada's rural communities have been and are being reshaped, as is the agriculture being practiced within them. In the midst of these upheavals, a practice-policy "dis-connect" is making it unclear how alternative agricultural and rural community developmental paradigms might be actualized in the region. But some of these challenges are not new.Research limitations/implications -The research consultation is at the beginning stages, and thus results reported are speculative. Practical implications -Lessons from the Atlantic past, and Lyson's civic model, may provide guideposts toward a more ecologically-sound and economically-viable way for the future of rural communities and agriculture in the region. Originality/value -This paper raises key questions that take into account the region's rural past and changing paradigms pertaining to agriculture and rural communities.

“…At that time, J. W. Robertson, Chair of the Halifax Relief Commission, imposed strict rules to regulate food and aid distribution and asked people to "curb their individualism" for the sake of the community. 79 The first government proclamation to deal with the flu epidemic, issued by Roberts on 9 October 1918, ordered that "all schools, theatres and churches in New Brunswick be closed on and after Friday 11 October." Not only would the closures remain in effect until further notice but all public gatherings and meetings were also prohibited.…”

Abstract. In the fall of 1918 when war-weary New Brunswickers were hit by the influenza pandemic, theirs was the only Canadian province with a Minister of Health, the first to be appointed anywhere in the British Empire. But it was a new position and a controversial one. This paper traces the growth of a public health movement in New Brunswick in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the campaign for the establishment of a provincial Department of Health, and the role played by the 1918 influenza epidemic in legitimizing and consolidating the newly minted Department, masthead of the public health movement.Résumé. Durant l'automne de 1918, alors que les citoyens du NouveauBrunswick, déconcertés par la guerre, luttaient contre une pandémie de grippe, leur province était la seule au Canada à avoir un ministre de la santé, le premier désigné dans l'Empire britannique. Mais cette position était nouvelle et controversée. Cet article décrit la naissance du mouvement de santé publique au Nouveau-Brunswick à la fin du 19 ème et le début du 20 ème siècle, la campagne pour l'établissement d'un ministère de la santé ainsi que le rôle joué par l'épidémie de la grippe de 1918 dans la légitimation et la consolidation du tout nouveau ministère en tant que meneur du mouvement de la santé publique.
