I would have thought December 6 would be a better day for such a remembrance ceremony? The Montreal École Polytechnique massacre.

NS issued an Emergency Alert province wide this evening, banning all open fires--including campgrounds--until June 25. I agree restrictions are required, yet I am still asking, what is going to improve in 3.5 week's time? This is still spring , the amount of deadfall and underbrush will remain...

I am in contact with my DEM class discussing these wildfires. My observation is that the HRM , EMO and DNR response to this wildfire is an improvement over last fall and Hurricanes Fiona. Granted, a larger concentration of people are affected with these fires, but the lessons learned and...

Yes, Porters Lake was large. I was quoting a news report on the last large urban wildfire in HRM.

We have been called out to provide assistance at the shelters, so this will be a prolonged response.

2009 was the last time the HRM had a massive urban wildfire, this one is larger.

FTFY :LOL:

Canadians can not afford another pandemic. With all the political pork barreling and individual debts incurred through COVID19, it will take 40 years to pay this off. Edit: Correct spelling.

The federal government is a major source of humanitarian and disaster relief funding, which is readily available when someone knows where to search and how to apply for the available funding. Here are a few quick examples: Breton, D. (2023, May 11). Parliamentary Committee Notes: Humanitarian...

Yes, Amherst is in Cumberland county. The good news is that the PD would only be dealing with one additional municipal council.

Yes. VAC now approves up to 24 months of MH care when a veteran submits a PSC for MH. When a recognised MH diagnosis is received by VAC, MH treatment and related Rx (if required) will continue to be provided as long as necessary, beyond the initial 24 months.

If Maritime police services were to be contracted out to a private company, the same way Medavie Health Services offers paramedic services , then the bilingual requirement will be met, sidestepping that barrier to a shared service.

j There, FTFY. :)

The Onslow-Belmount NS fire brigade website indicates volunteers earn free training, a licence plate and some tax credits, but no fee or honorarium per call. This is why the departments are always 50/50 fundraising and local property taxes are so low. This is the same location the RCMP officers...

Booter, you've just described every major organization a person could name these days. Swap out out the RCMP for CAF, Public Works, WestJet or Unilever and you will discover similar results. An environment which encourages too many 'climbers' to the determint of everything else.

The town of Truro has it's own PD, that community does not rely on an RCMP contract...well maybe some specialised services, but the entire proves does the same thing. With the exception of Truro, the Municipality of Colchester comprises rural communities, including a retired CFS Debert, who's...

I admit my understanding may be flawed, but I believe I read the staffing goal was four officers per shift. As others have mentioned, all the usual reasons for the empty shifts are acknowledged. Yet as a comparison, the Truro department is able to staff their needs. The volunteer fire...

It’s impossible to know all the roads here. Old, new, unused, usable, overgrown but passable ect… There remains allot of raw emotions at the moment. I had posted some of this earlier in the discussion last year: Nearly 80% of municipal roads are private, including my own. This is a cost...
