Go-ahead given for pipeline

President Donald Trump has approved two pipeline projects, and environmentalists are promising a fight.

The orders allow for construction of TransCanada’s Keystone X-L pipeline and the Dakota Access pipeline.

Years of pressure by opponents forced President Barack Obama to freeze the pipeline.

Glace Bay miner’s museum

The three levels of government have come up with over $1.5 million to save the Miners Museum in Glace Bay.

Premier Stephen McNeil at the funding announcement said the museum honours the hard work and history of the province’s coal miners.

The museum has been suffering in recent years because of a lot of leaks.

This money will go towards a new roof, doors; windows, brick walls; along with ventilation system and energy upgrades.

There will also be a planning study for interactive and interior spaces, including enhanced electronic displays.
