More mental health support

The government has inroduced legislation to bolster mental health supports.

Health Minister Victor Boudreau told Brunswick News it’s a new model of supervised care at the community level for people with serious mental illness.  The new plan which should be in force by November caries a price tag of $1.35 million and should add about 10 new staff to the system.

More snow on the way

We’re going to be hit with more snow tonight and tomorrow…but it shouldn’t be as bad as Monday.

The city says the severity of Monday’s blizzard means normal standards for snow clearing on streets and sidewalks do not apply. Main streets, emergency routes and transit routes were the ones getting the most attention yesterday. Plows tried to make at least one pass down side streets and roads so people could get out. But the cleanup will take several days…not helped by tonight’s snow.
