Grand Pre

The federal government is spending 925-thousand dollars to fix up the Grand-Pre National Historic Site in Nova Scotia’s Annapolis Vally.

The announcement was made yesterday by federal Environment Minister Catherine McKenna, who is also responsible for Parks Canada.

The money will be used to upgrade a theatre and fix up the site’s church and monuments.

Counterfeit Cash

Halifax regional police have issued a warning that counterfeit Canadian bills are circulating in the area.

They say officers have retrieved a counterfeit 100-dollar Canadian bill from a clothing store on Spring Garden Road in Halifax.

It had been used to pay for a purchase sometime during the day last Sunday.

Police warn businesses and citizens they may not be reimbursed if they unknowingly accept a counterfeit bill and should always check the security features on bank notes before accepting them.
