A new Tire and Rubber Association of Canada survey shows Atlantic Canadians are using winter tires in record numbers. 81% of us put them on now, with a 2014 poll showing 73%. Among those not using winter tires, 40% say they don’t drive enough during the season, 19% believe all-seasons are good enough and 5% point to cost.

New children’s clinic at the Moncton Hospital
The Moncton Hospital has opened a new children’s clinic which should make things a lot nicer for its littlest patients.
The Times and Transcript reports the new pediatric ambulatory care clinic brings together services for chronically ill children into a single, family-friendly treatment centre. It has separate waiting areas away from adult patients. There are colourful pictures, graphics and murals on the walls to make it less scary for the kids who have to come in for cancer treatments and the like.
The upgrades cost 185,000, part of which was paid for through The Friends of The Moncton Hospital foundation.
