A new sewer system and a housing rejuvenation project have been announced for New Glasgow.

The announcement was made Tuesday — a new gravity sewer system, which eliminates the need for a pumping station, under Eighth Street and the surrounding area will provide sanitary services and support residential development.  Meanwhile, the

James Street and Marsh Street properties rejuvenation project includes demolition of buildings and remediation work, with future redevelopment to provide transitional and affordable housing units and office suites.

The Province and the Town of New Glasgow will each invest nearly $934,000 in the two projects.

The RCMP says that 34-year old Ryan Forbes Macleod of New Glasgow, who was wanted on a province-wide arrest warrant, was located and safely arrested on Monday.  He was wanted on charges of Break and Enter with Intent, Being Unlawfully in Dwelling-House, and Criminal Harassment.  The RCMP is thanking the public for its assistance with the investigation.

A new rapid analysis says human-caused climate change made the record-breaking Eastern Canada heat wave last month “much more likely.”  Environment and Climate Change Canada says its first-of-its kind analysis shows the heat wave over parts of Atlantic Canada was made two to 10 times more likely because of climate change. Officials say a new pilot program can determine whether and to what extent climate change made a specific heat event more likely.  Scientists say attribution studies can also underline the effects of planet-warming emissions.
