What a Storm!

What a storm!

As our region faces the aftermath of a record breaking snowfall, I want to say thank you to all the essential workers who braved the elements to put others first.

Thank you especially to the snow plow operators and snow removal teams who have been hard at work since the storm began, ensuring those who needed to be on the roads had a safe journey.

I’ve been in touch with my colleagues across the Province to understand the situation in their communities and have been in regular contact with the Minister of Emergency Preparedness.

The federal government has approved the Province of Nova Scotia’s request for assistance and is prepared to support the province’s the clean up efforts.

We know it will take time to dig out, so if you’re able to, please stay home to give the crews time and space to work.

Stay safe and be kind!
