After a new global study finds cases of diabetes are on the rise, the head of a national advocacy organization is reminding Canadians this country is “not immune” to that increase.
DARTMOUTH, N.S. The pandemic hasn t stopped Maritimers from enjoying some safe family fun outside this winter. On a brisk January morning, you can hear the sound of hockey sticks hitting the ice in one Dartmouth neighbourhood. Grandpa Paul Gallagher never passes up the opportunity to shoot the puck around with son Blake and grandsons Kingston and Monty. This year, the rinks were shut down and so he was kinda just getting into skating and enjoying it, said Blake Gallagher. So, we thought we have a small enough space that we could get something for him where he could still skate and enjoy it. So we put some boards together, through some plastic sheets down and filled it up and waited for the cold weather and we finally got some.
