Their main role is only to provide organized support for first responders and community members. A legislative committee heard Tuesday that when Jack and Lilly Sullivan were reported missing from their home, Nova Scotia Guard members helped with traffic control on narrow dirt roads and helped distribute food to search crews.
The Nova Scotia RCMP’s Commercial Crime Section is warning the public about an increase in counterfeit $50 Canadian bills being circulated throughout the province. In the past month, the Nova Scotia RCMP has received at least eight separate reports of high-quality counterfeit $50 bank notes being used to purchase goods and services across Nova Scotia. These bills, which all have identical serial numbers, are made from a similar plastic to that used by genuine currency, and include a holographic sticker meant to imitate genuine embedded security measures. The holographic stripe on the one side can be peeled off.
