Senior Constable Andrew Murphy and his partner Constable Michael Smith were accused of roughing up Dylan Yates at a petrol station in 2018, leading to a personal injury lawsuit against NSW Government.
Dylan Yates, founder of the Cape Breton Environmental Association, says people continue to illegally drive vehicles onto the beach, allow dogs off-leash and leave litter behind, despite a recent national wildlife area designation.
HALIFAX A Cape Breton Regional Municipality councillor is proposing a cost-saving change to the annual Residential Heavy Garbage Collection. It s very popular and we see people going through trying to collect metals and what not that could be salvageable, and even lamps or furniture that people don t have use for that are still useful, said Eldon MacDonald, a CBRM councillor. For many residents of Cape Breton, the annual heavy garbage pickup is a sign of spring and warmer temperatures to come. Once a year residents can put larger and heavier items curbside – such as sofas, dressers, hot water tanks, and bath tubs – for garbage collectors pick it up.
