A human rights board says a Head of Chezzetcook man needs his medical marijuana covered.  Gordon Skinner was denied insurance coverage for it after a car accident while working; it relieves his chronic pain.  The board says since medical marijuana needs a prescription by law, his work coverage needs to pay for it.

Yesterday’s head-on collision on the 103 killed the two occupants of one vehicle.  A 64-year-old woman and 63-year-old man died at the scene, with the 32-year-old driver of the other vehicle going to hospital with unknown injuries.  The crash happened before 9am close to Ingramport, with the highway reopening last night.
