The province is spending $75,000 over two years for the program. It said there are about 6,000 volunteer firefighters and 1,200 ground search and rescue volunteers in Nova Scotia. The program includes a partnership with Telus Health offering counselling from mental health clinicians, available 24 hours a day, seven days a week in person, by phone or online. 0 comment 0 FacebookTwitterPinterestEmail admin previous post Le cerveau amoureux dans tous ses états chimiques next post After labor victory, Dartmouth players return to the basketball court You may also like 5dead, 1 in critical condition following crash in... 11 مايو، 2025 Dalhousie strikes deal as official training facility for... 11 مايو، 2025 Police seek help in locating elderly man 11 مايو، 2025 Cogswell District Redevelopment Project reaches new milestone 11 مايو، 2025 RCMP seek public’s help locating man wanted on... 11 مايو، 2025 First Canadian navy vessel to visit Antarctica returns... 11 مايو، 2025 Wet weekend on tap for Halifax but sun... 11 مايو، 2025 Shelburne RCMP searching for man wanted on province-wide... 11 مايو، 2025 أول سفينة للبحرية الكندية تزور القارة القطبية الجنوبية... 11 مايو، 2025 كارني يكشف النقاب عن حكومته الجديدة يوم الثلاثاء 9 مايو، 2025
