Shortly after midnight Tuesday morning, New Glasgow Regional Police attempted to conduct a traffic stop on East River Road in New Glasgow.

The driver refused to stop and sped from police.

For safety reasons, Police did not pursue the vehicle.

At about  6:30 a.m., an off-duty Stellarton Police Officer located the car on Middle River Road in Union Centre as it was involved in a single vehicle collision.

New Glasgow Regional Police and Pictou County District RCMP responded to the scene and arrested a 31-year-old woman from Pictou County.

She was charged with Flight from Police; Dangerous Driving; Driving while License Revoked; and Driving a Vehicle with No Insurance.

She’ll be appearing in Pictou Provincial Court in June.

Nova Scotia plans to spend more than 58-million dollars to establish a medical school at Cape Breton University.

Premier Tim Houston made the announcement yesterday at the campus just outside Sydney.

The plan is to have the school up and running by the fall 2025.

The medical school will be the second in the province and is expected to graduate 30 doctors a year.

 

 

A new study says that Nova Scotians’ satisfaction with Premier Tim Houston’s performance has declined since November.

The new report from Narrative Research says that despite the decline, the Progressive Conservative premier still has a strong lead over the Liberals and N-D-P in terms of voter support.

The study found that 52 per cent of people surveyed are satisfied with Houston’s job performance, down from the 61 per cent who said they were satisfied in November 2022.

 

 

The Provincial government recently announced a grant for homeowners to assist with the cost of heating their homes.

Anyone who pays for heat, including oil, electricity, wood or propane can apply with a maximum household income of $85,000.

This includes anyone who received the Senior Care Grant in the Fall of 2022.

Anyone who received the $200 heat rebate in the fall does not have to reapply.
