This tragedy rocked our province, our [...]
Thank you health care workers! I’m deeply proud and thankful for Canada’s healthcare heroes—and local business owners are too.

Huge congratulations to the Dartmouth—Cole Harbour Class of 2021. We all know that the past year+ has been such a challenge, and you rose to the occasion.
