UNB, Parks Canada team for summer program at Fortress Louisbourg

UNB and Parks Canada have teamed up to offer a bioarchaeology field program in Cape Breton this summer.  It’ll document, protect and preserve 18th-century burial grounds at the Fortress of Louisbourg National Historic Site, which are threatened by coastal erosion.  Students will help provide new insights into the population’s health and well-being during an important period in Canada’s history.

Admits to fraud rather than trial

A Dalhousie woman has admitted to fraud instead of being tried.  46-year-old Ida Lynn Godin was charged with theft over $5000 and fraudulent use of a credit card.  The former was withdrawn, and she pleaded guilty to the latter.  The incident happened around a year and a half ago, and she’ll be sentenced June 20th.
