Each year Truro Police Service Cpl Scott Milbury and Leeann McDonald and many people help organize Truro's Holiday Heroes.
This year many first responders spent the day at the Rath Eastlink Community Centre having a blast. One of the newly added displays was Cst Cam Baker and K9 Beau who did a demo on police dog services.
There were many reps from fire, EHS and police.
Great work everyone!

In case your phone hasn't been blowing up with yellow warnings...we are getting some heavy rains after 6pm tonight and then strong winds which may gust up to 90 km/hr.
The 25 to 40mm of rain is a decent amount but its impact may be more significant because the ground is still pretty frozen so it will sit on top and run off more than in the warmer days.
Localized flooding may occur, so be prepared.
What do I do?
1. Check the sump pump in the basement, make sure it's good to go. I have a brand new extra one very near that one because these events always happen when the stores are closed. Make sure down spouts flow your water away from the basement walls.
2. I peek at my storm drains up the street to make sure its not clogged with snow so the road and yard run off goes in it.
3. If out, be extra cautious at known flooding areas.
4. The winds may cause power outages. Test your generator. Charge your battery banks.
5. Secure things on your deck and yard. Winds may gust near 90.
6. Get your storm chips early.
