Located in Greenwich, Nova Scotia, they are the recipient of the 2014 Innovative Product of the Year for their Olde Port of Halifax port-style cider.

Junior Marine Biologist Program 2018
Our 2018 Junior Marine Biologist program was 1.5 jam-packed days of hands-on and experiential learning about marine biology and what it’s like to be a marine biologist. We started out with an early morning at the Porter weir, assisting female biologists from Acadia University with their conservation research on Atlantic sturgeon and Little and Winter skate. We then traveled to Smiley’s Provincial Park, where we learned how to set up a tent and had a group discussion and activity about marine pollution, oil spills, and how to reduce our consumption of single-use plastics. We painted re-usable Terranaut Club bags, built mini boats for our engineering activity, and enjoyed the beautiful day. In the evening, we traveled BACK to the Porter weir for a tide of conservation research in total darkness! Girls were equipped with Glo-sticks and headlamps and had a blast exploring the ocean floor at night. We made it through torrential rains in our tents overnight (go girls!), and capped off the program the next morning with a squid dissection, discussion of local shark species, and making and presenting posters about their 2 tides of research at the weir. Our participants lucked out during their tides at the weir, seeing a total of 10 sturgeon (some 6 feet long!), over 25 other species of marine creatures, and meeting 7 young female biologists from Acadia University. Thank you to all of our volunteers for this event and also to generous sponsors of this program: McCallum Environmental, the Canadian Federation of University Women Wolfville Chapter, and Annapolis Cider Company.

Soon after starting her career, Dr Brooks and her husband, Eric (also a family physician), formed the Middleton Collaborative Practice, a comprehensive family medicine practice considered a pioneer for collaborative practices in Nova Scotia. It was also one
of the first in Nova Scotia to adopt a fully functional electronic medical record system. This practice now serves as a teaching site for family medicine residents.
Through involvement with the Canadian Medical Association and Doctors Nova Scotia, where she served as president, Dr Brooks' advocacy efforts have helped enhance patient care in the Annapolis Valley Region. She has served on numerous local and provincial committees and as Chief of Staff at Soldiers' Memorial Hospital.
