The passenger, a 5-year-old child, sustained minor injuries, was treated and released at the scene.
HALIFAX Maritimers are normally generous and it seems this year that there are more acts of kindness than ever before perhaps a reflection of what s been a tough year for many. From giving trees in Pictou County, offering free essentials to those in need, to students at M. Gerald Teed School in Saint John, crafting giant Christmas cards for long-term care residents affected by COVID-19, holiday acts of kindness are flooding social media feeds and filling hearts. For Evan Phinney, there s been overwhelming support for the blood drive in her father s name. Bruce Phinney died of a rare blood cancer last year on Christmas Day.
