CCGSNS.com

We would like to welcome you to our new website, and our new web address, www.ccgsns.com.

Today we have deployed our new ‘beta’ site design.  In addition to bringing the style of our site up to date, we’ve tried to organize the large amount of resources we have available so that the site is easier for you to use, and find what you need.

We’ve also added some new features, such as a site-wide search function, a discussion forum, and an image gallery. Our publications and products are now available to be purchased using a single-click Paypal button.  Occasionally we’ll be posting information of interest to our members and visitors on the front page, so we hope you will always have something new to see when you visit us next.

The site is mostly complete but there are still odds and ends to add, and we will continue with that work up to and beyond our official launch date, which will correspond to the members’ meeting on February 21, 2012.

Although our previous web site address – www.ccgs.ednet.ns.ca – will continue to work, we encourage visitors to bookmark and use the new address going forward, to ensure you are seeing the most recent information.

If you have any questions or comments, please let us know by writing to us – archives@ccgsns.com.
