Soaring Spirits Moncton

There’s a new group in the Moncton area to help widows and widowers called Soaring Spirits Moncton.

Christelle Léger, whose husband died five years ago, got together with Nadine Larche whose husband Doug was one of the Mounties killed here in 2014. They talked about losing a partner and how it helps when the other person knows what you’re going through.

Leger told CBC they’re not counsellors, there’s no group counselling…they just want to get people together which is therapeutic in itself.

Soaring Spirits Moncton’s first event will be held November 23 at Vito’s restaurant on Mountain Road. Interested participants can RSVP through the group’s Facebook page.

Province and doctors agree on fees

The provincial government has reached a tentative agreement with doctors on payment for services.

The agreement between the Health Department and Medical Society covers salaried and fee-for-service doctors. No details on the fees are being released until its ratified by the doctors.
