Here’s a fine set of stories I came across in the last year concerning my home town (Glace Bay), my province (Nova Scotia), and the region (the Maritimes, with a shout out to Newfoundland).
Like all places, A.I. is having an impact on people in the Maritimes. So much so that Nova Scotia is launching 5-person team to help government staff incorporate AI into their work. That’s not uncommon. Using A.I. to harvest blueberries…that’s a bit more uncommon.
Speaking of food, I was sad to see that Kay’s Kozy Korner was closing after nearly 75 years in business. They had a good run. Speaking of cosy (Kozy?), if you are dining on the east coast, consider getting what is considered Canada’s coziest comfort food (hint, it’s not poutine).
In terms of law and order stories, we had the story of a Cape Breton legion having to pay $250 over Chase the Ace regulation violations. A very Cape Breton crime. As is this story of vandalism in Glace Bay. In other violent Nova Scotian news, protesters surround Premier Tim Houston’s car and his windshield was smashed after a speech he made last year. Such actions may be why the Truro police have add an armoured vehicle to fleet.
Finally when it comes to news from out east, this priest says he regrets comments about ‘residential’ school in Honduras during CBU convocation speech. Yeah, I can imagine.
I’d like to close out this with a few things concerning Glace Bay, my home town:
- Glace Bay born actor talks couch surfing to big studio production
- Bay B’y Logan Shaw celebrates Calder Cup championship with Glace Bay community
