The family of a 78-year-old man who died after waiting seven hours for care in a Fredericton hospital has settled a legal action they filed against the province\u2019s health authority.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Darrell Mesheau\u2019s family filed a statement of claim against Horizon Health Network and two nurses, alleging Mesheau died because of negligence, but the allegations were never tested in court.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In a statement of defence, Horizon and the nurses denied there was any negligence, saying they used reasonable skills and due care when caring for Mesheau.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The retired diplomat arrived in an ambulance at the Dr. Everett Chalmers Regional Hospital on July 11th, 2022, and about seven hours later a nurse found him in the waiting room, unresponsive and slumped in a wheelchair. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
His death prompted a widespread public outcry and a shakeup of the province\u2019s health-care leadership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Several items were found during a search for missing Nova Scotia children Jack and Lilly Sullivan, but R-C-M-P say so far, nothing has turned up that is relevant to their investigation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ontario-based non-profit Please Bring Me Home organized a search of the area where the Sullivan children were reported missing in Lansdowne in May, focusing on the waterways. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Search organizer Nick Oldrieve, executive director of Please Bring Me Home, says he was very impressed with the work already done by R-C-M-P and local search teams, and wanted to contribute to the effort. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Oldrieve says he is compiling a list of all the coordinates searched by volunteers Saturday, which he’ll share with police. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Volunteer firefighters in Nova Scotia rescued around 20 dogs from a fire Saturday night. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
A fire broke out at a single-storey home in Newport Station, and while it is considered an accident, the cause is still unclear. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Firefighters from the Brooklyn Volunteer Fire Department, along with two other stations, pulled around 20 dogs from the house — one dog did not survive and two residents of the home were treated for minor injuries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The fire chief told C-B-C that while the department had, and used, oxygen masks for animals, they did not have enough and so supplemented with masks meant for humans. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The dogs were taken to emergency clinics in Halifax. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
