9 1 1 concerns

Truro-area first responders are upset by what they call “drive by callers” and a lack of information.

They want people to get a little information if they can before calling 9 1 1 about vehicles off the road.

Stewiacke firefighters and an ambulance rushed to a reported car accident last Thursday, but they found the driver sitting in a warm, running car; waiting for the tow truck she had called.

She did not call 9 1 1, another driver did; and continued on their way, without stopping and providing any information, such as if the driver was hurt.

Kingston water proposal

Kingston commissioners eventually want people to have access to a municipal water system.

The project would need taxpayer support from all three levels of government in order to take place.

In addition, the Nova Scotia Utility and Review Board would have to approve the project and establish rates.
