âThe human grand-maternal relationship is nearly unique in the natural world,â writes Abigail Tucker, a science writer, in a guest essay for Opinion. For new mothers in particular who are lucky enough to have their own mothers at hand, there are âtremendous benefits to our mental health and maternal behavior in ways that emerging science increasingly underscores.â
We asked readers how their mothers and grandmothers shaped their maternal behavior and the lives of their children. In hundreds of submissions we read about late-night breaks for new parents, cultural traditions passed down through generations and the showering of unconditional love on grandchildren, even from those who may not have given the same to their own children.
NSCAD announces it will not be moving next to the new Art Gallery of Nova Scotia The gallery’s evolving building design and related space constraints means it no longer meets the needs of NSCAD. The Art Gallery of Nova Scotia and NSCAD University aren t breaking up, but they might on a Ross and Rachel-style break: In an email newsletter sent this morning from NSCAD s interim president, Sarah McKinnon, the school gave a laundry list of updates including that NSCAD will not be co-locating on the Salter Block of the Halifax Waterfront with the AGNS. The gallery’s evolving building design and related space constraints on the site means it no longer meets the spatial and programmatic needs of NSCAD’s vision for the future.

David William Coupland
With great sadness, the family of David William Coupland “Bilco” announce his passing on April 19, 2021, at The Kimberley Special Care Home “The Pines”.
Dave was born at the St. Eugene Hospital, in Cranbrook to William Barclay and Ruth Leona (Hamrin) Coupland. He was raised and educated in Kimberley and continued his education/career with an apprenticeship with Cominco as an electrician. Dave obtained his journeyman certificate and worked in the electrical field his whole career.
Dave, with a great sense of humour, was known to tell a good joke and ”spin a yarn” to his many friends at the Flathead hunting, at the golf course or during his coffee mornings. He was a member of the Kimberley Bootleg Gap & Trickle Creek Golf Clubs, and the Kimberley Curling Club. Dave and Rae enjoyed many rounds of golf together.
A housing developer is appealing a decision by councillors to refuse plans for 110 new homes on the edge of Oakley. It would have tripled their housebuilding in the area, as the company are currently developing the 48-house Canterbury Gardens site. But now, the company have decided to appeal the decision. A decision is expected in June. Cllr Diane Taylor, who represents Oakley and North Waltham, has said she is passionate about the protection of all our villages which are so important for us all . She told The Gazette: This proposed development, which is seeking to take advantage of the slight shortfall in the Borough’s five year housing land supply, would be disastrous for Oakley as a village community, and would seriously compromise safety on the country lanes in Church Oakley, the area to the west of the village.
