FILE - In this Sunday, Nov. 29, 2020 file photo, Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady (12) throws a pass against the Kansas City Chiefs during the first half of an NFL football game in Tampa, Fla. On Feb. 7, 2021, the Kansas City Chiefs will be the latest franchise to attempt winning successive Super Bowls when they take on the Buccaneers. In Tampa, of all places. Against Tom Brady, of all people. Only twice since the Patriots pulled off the last repeat in the 2003 and 2004 season has a champion gotten back to the big game. Seattle failed in 2014 against New England, no less; remember Malcolm Butler s goal-line interception? and the Patriots in 2017, the Super Bowl featuring the Philly Special.(AP Photo/Mark LoMoglio, File)
HALIFAX As the Nova Scotia RCMP continue to investigate the death of 20-year-old Quintez Downey they are asking anyone with information to come forward. Just before 1 a.m. on Jan. 27, police responded to reports of shots fired in North Preston. According to police, officers located Downey who was on his way to the hospital with life-threatening injuries. He later died as a result of his injuries. Downey s death was ruled a homicide following an autopsy by the Medical Examiner. Following the initial investigation, police say the victim was shot near the area of Clarence Street and was believed to have been alone.
COLE HARBOUR, N.S. Quintez Downey’s former basketball coach and youth advocate worker says he is shocked to hear the 20-year-old North Preston man has been killed. He d be the last person that I would think would have his life taken, said Darryl Johnson, a long-time basketball coach and recent candidate for Halifax Regional Council from Cole Harbour. Johnson learned of the news yesterday. When I listened to the voicemail, I was totally floored. I had to listen to it a third time just to make sure I was hearing what I was hearing correctly, he said, adding that it was a very tough day and a tough night.
Darryl Johnson briefed GMC members on the plan during the organization’s Monday meeting.
“We are so excited that the progression of the trail has grown into what we are doing today,” said Johnson.
“We have seen, in the past year more than ever before, the importance of green spaces, including trails and parks,” said Taylor.
It’s a project they have been working on for almost a decade. In 2013, the partners, standing at what was then an abandoned rail line, announced the first major funding commitment, a $350,000 grant, to support the construction of a completely off-street northern leg from E. Keefe Ave. to W. Capitol Dr. It opened in 2015.
