| | Canadian Rural Partnership - Community Decision-Making Toolkit - Upper Stewiacke Case Study |
 | | During a meeting of the Upper Stewiacke Elementary School Advisory Council in the fall of 2003, concern was expressed regarding the very minimal use of the elementary school during after hours, declining school enrollment and population decline. |
 | | Upper Stewiacke (population 1540, as of 2001 Statistics Canada data) is located in Southern Colchester County (population 10,615 as of 2001 Statistics Canada data), Nova Scotia. |
 | | Upper Stewiacke is a strong community in terms of volunteerism, a sense of identity (not known outside the area) and a wide range of local services supported by the community (e.g., a Co-op store and liquor store, a Credit Union, churches, museum, capsite etc.) |
