We almost forgot!
We were grabbing some prior shots for a post and realised that we attended and spoke with several members of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police in Nova Scotia during the Open House in May and never shared these photos! So here we are!

We spoke with and learned more about various services of the RCMP delivered here in H Division.
There were examples of the Explosive Disposal Unit, the Police Dog Services, the Tactical Support Group, the Underwater Recovery Team, specialty traffic services with motorcycles, reconstruction as well as Human Trafficking Coordination teams and several other units and services.
It was a great opportunity to understand what is available when needed.

From Royal Canadian Mounted Police in Nova Scotia

🚨 Road Conditions Alert - Highway 104, Mount Thom 🚨
Snow-covered roads have already led to a crash in the area. First responders are on scene. If you're heading that way:
⚠️ Reduce your speed
🕒 Plan ahead
📞 Call 511 for the most up-to-date road conditions
As fall transitions to winter across Nova Scotia, snow is on the way. Now’s the time to prepare, book your winter tire installation before the first snowfall visits your community.
Let’s work together to keep our roads safe this season. Drive to the conditions and stay alert. 🚗❄️

Conditions on the 104 in Mount Thom are slippery for many without winter tires on yet. Valley-Kemptown & District Fire Brigade are enroute to a 104 MVC rollover currently. Uncertain if this MVC is snow related but one person who drove over it suggested there is a possibility of hydroplaning.
Please reduce speed especially near this scene near distance marker 121. Whether it's snow, rain and snow mixed or a rollover MVC, it wouldn't hurt to exercise caution and slow down this morning.
Drive to arrive.

Where Hockey meets Hospitality!
When Team Finland coaches and managers were looking for something for their players to do to relax and get an afternoon away from the ice, Kevin Bushey, VP Major Events and Hospitality at the Rath Eastlink Community Centre had an immediate idea. "Let's let them experience what it is like to be a firefighter! "
Kevin, one of the key host organizers has been very busy making sure everything runs perfectly during the busy Hockey Canada tournament in the Town of Truro.
Kevin, AKA Captain Bushey, with Great Village and District Volunteer Fire Brigade was able to share his firefighting training to show the players what it feels like to gear up and flow water from a fire hose with some decent amount of pressure on it.
The guys seemed to have a great time and enjoyed it. There was some great exchange of pins and jerseys which was also appreciated. Best of luck Team Finland!
This is what it means to give to your community and those who share it.
Great work Kevin, we appreciate all that you do for the Rath Eastlink Community Centre and Central Nova Scotia Sports & Entertainment - CNSSE as well as Great Village and District Volunteer Fire Brigade!
Thank you!
