(NL-Titan-Sinking-Report)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Transportation Safety Board of Canada is recommending that Transport Canada develop a plan to determine whether uncertified vessels pose a safety risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The guidance comes as the T-S-B released its report today examining the Titan submersible disaster that killed five people on a descent to the Titanic wreck nearly three years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The report says Transport Canada knew the Titan was operating out of St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador, with support from Canadian vessels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, it said the department did not provide oversight of the Titan’s operations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seven people have been accused of illegally catching gaspereau near a fish ladder in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The federal Fisheries Department says its officers seized 38-hundred kilograms of fish in the community of Grand River earlier this month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The fishers are accused of catching the fish 23 metres downstream from the entrance of a fish ladder — a manmade structure that helps fish bypass barriers that block migration routes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Gaspereau are a member of the herring family and spend most of their lives in the ocean but head to freshwater rivers and lakes in the spring to spawn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(NS-HomeShare)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Nova Scotia government has named 10 community-based service providers that will coordinate community living arrangement for people with disabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The province says the organizations are a part of a new HomeShare program and they will recruit and screen providers, facilitate matches and provide ongoing support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Premier Tim Houston said the organizations have community knowledge, trusted relationships and experience supporting people with disabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nova Scotia is expected to spend just over two-million dollars on the HomeShare program, which is part of the five-year Nova Scotia Human Rights Remedy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The remedy is an agreement to address systemic discrimination in how the province supports people with disabilities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

(NS-Assault)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A Nova Scotia man is facing multiple charges for alleged intimate partner violence and a woman has been charged for obstructing officers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mounties say the officers arrived at a home in Hebbville on May 27th after learning of an assault in progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Police say upon arrival, a woman actively attempted to obstruct officers who were trying to find the victim and suspect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lunenburg District R-C-M-P say they located the victim with non-life-threatening injuries and safely removed her from the residence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A short time later, a 35-year-old man hiding inside the home was arrested and faces seven charges including kidnapping and assault. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mounties say cocaine, crystal meth and methamphetamine pills were some of the drugs seized following a search of a residence and storage unit in Charlottetown, P-E-I.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Close to 300-thousand dollars in cash, 50-thousand illegal cigarettes, and a handgun were also confiscated during an operation on Friday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
R-C-M-P say a man is facing 19 charges in connection with the seizure, two counts of possession for the purpose of trafficking and five counts of possession of a weapon for dangerous purposes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
