HALIFAX Two Nova Scotia men are credited with saving a stray dog stranded on a partially frozen lake in Digby County Sunday and now the dog is looking for its home. The dog had been spotted wandering around North Range, N.S. for a week and seemed to have no owner. Then on Sunday afternoon, residents living on the shores of Haines Lake noticed the dog standing on a patch of ice about 600 metres from shore – too frightened to move. It had been there for several hours when locals banded together to rescue it.

Two Nova Scotia men who swindled the Department of National Defence out of millions of dollars are being sent to prison.
But given that they ve already been serving conditional sentences it s not clear how much time, if any, Harold Dawson and Bry n Ross will actually spend behind bars.
The two men were convicted in September 2019 of fraud over $5,000. They were sentenced on Feb. 25, 2020, to conditional sentences of two years, less a day.
The Crown appealed those sentences and in a decision released Wednesday, the Nova Scotia Court of Appeal agreed with the Crown and substituted prison sentences.

Two Nova Scotia hospitals will soon offer a new type of treatment for depression, PTSD and other mental health disorders.
Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation, which involves sending short, magnetic pulses to the brain to stimulate nerve cells, will be offered at the Nova Scotia Hospital in Dartmouth and the Valley Regional Hospital in Kentville. Anything that s going to impact positively is a huge benefit, said Dr. Michael Flynn, a psychiatrist at the Nova Scotia Hospital. The key is it s now accessible. You can have the best treatment, but if you can t access it, it s not being optimized.
