George Bedard turned 100 years old Tuesday and a nurse at the long-term care section at the Wakefield Memorial Hospital planned a special celebration for him. The World War II veteran was honoured with cake, gifts and over 100 cards from members of the community.
An Outaouais man says a lack of available beds meant his 82-year-old mother sat for eight hours in an ER, writhing in pain with a back injury, only to be transferred to a hospital an hour away a few days later.
