St. George in mourning

The community of St. George is still in shock after that devestaing fire this week that killed a well-loved family.

Esther Boyd, who was in her 80s, and her sons Davey, Billy and Robbie perished in the fire. The cause is still under investigation and autopsies are being done but RCMP don’t suspect any foul play.

Boyd still cared for her sons at home as all had mental challenges.

At their meeting in Saint John yesterday, Premier Stephen McNeil of Nova Scotia said he and the other Atlantic premiers must work to find common ground as they develop an action plan on clean energy for the region. The energy ministers will have a new Atlantic Clean Energy Partnership ready by this summer.
