Clayton Miller

Lawyers are holding a news conference in Halifax on Monday to announce new findings in the death of a teenager who died while fleeing police in 1990.

The firm representing the family of 17-year-old Clayton Miller is describing the findings as a major development in his death.

An inquest and R-C-M-P investigation both cleared police of any wrongdoing and two investigations concluded Miller was drunk when he fell into a stream in New Waterford while running from police after they raided a nearby bush party.

But the teen’s family has long called for the investigation to be reopened _ saying they believe key information was withheld from the public.

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.
