There’s growing evidence that the number of great white sharks is on the rise along the East Coast, and plans are in the works to post warning signs at beaches in Nova Scotia for the first time.

Aside from more frequent sightings, there have been reports in Nova Scotia of two attacks in recent years, one of which injured a swimmer and another that killed a dog. 

In Nova Scotia, the plan is to install warning signs at about a dozen public beaches as early as this summer.

 

Nova Scotia has installed fewer than 10 percent of the 200 shelters for the province’s homeless residents more than eight months after first making the announcement.

The province’s Community Services Minister says work is underway to open up 96 more of the insulated, fiberglass shelters across three sites, adding the government is still trying to nail down locations for the remaining 85 shelters it has purchased.

Brendan Maguire says his department is looking “everywhere and anywhere” to find suitable locations for the remaining shelters, and could not say when the other 96 will be ready for residents to move in.

The province had initially said the first 30 units would be ready for residents to move in by summer, but it has since pushed back the opening date to the fall.
