A partnership between Habitat for Humanity New Brunswick and the provincial government has enabled a family from the St. George district of Eastern Charlotte to move into a new home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
David Hickey of the New Brunswick Housing Corporation says the lack of medium-density housing in the province is one of the challenges that the corporation is trying to address.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Habitat for Humanity is granted 70-thousand dollars per unit build by the government, for a total of 10 new homes per year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The new home in Eastern Charlotte is the 18th affordable dwelling built through the partnership since 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drivers who park illegally at parking lots at Halifax’s largest hospitals are facing fines of up to 500 dollars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Health Department announced that the penalties will apply to those who violate parking rules at the Halifax Infirmary and Victoria General, as well as the IWK Health Centre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Health Minister Michelle Thompson says free on-site parking at health facilities is strictly for patients, visitors and authorized staff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She says the province has created new regulations under the Motor Vehicle Act that indicate the documents that need to be displayed to show the person is allowed to be using the lots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
