Nova Scotia R-C-M-P are asking for information from the public about a weekend fire that destroyed an historic sawmill and museum in Bangor.

Police say the cause of Saturday’s fire hasn’t been determined and there is currently no evidence to suggest it was deliberately set.

However, the Mounties say they would welcome any information that can help advance the investigation.

The Bangor sawmill was closed in the 1980s and it was restored to become a museum in 2001.

 

 

Nova Scotia’s human rights watchdog is urging all Nova Scotians to speak out to defend the rights of L-G-B-T-Q-+ people.

The province’s human rights commission says it is “deeply concerned” about increasing levels of hate toward the L-G-B-T-Q-+ community in the province and across the country.

The watchdog points to a recent poll by Paris-based research firm Ipsos that says Canada showed some of the sharpest drops in support for queer and transgender people among 23 countries profiled.

The commission says the province’s Human Rights Act forbids any differential treatment based on sex, sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expression.

 

 

Dr. Gehad Gobran of Bedford was installed as Doctors Nova Scotia’s President for 2024–25 during the association’s annual conference on Saturday.  During his term, Dr. Gobran will continue to focus on stabilizing primary care for Nova Scotians.  Although he appreciates the health-care system, he says he recognizes it is under considerable strain, with a shortage of family physicians and under-resourced hospital services.   Since 2008, Dr. Gobran has practised as a family physician in Halifax. He is also an assistant professor in the Department of Family Medicine at Dalhousie University.
