CANADAHALIFAX news ‘Security risk’ closes Nova Scotia legislature to visitors by admin 11 فبراير، 2022 written by admin 11 فبراير، 2022 31 Protests in Ottawa, Ambassador Bridge factored into the decision to temporarily close CBC News The Nova Scotia Legislature will be temporarily closed to visitors starting Friday because of a “security risk.” “We have become aware of several threats, both specific and non-specific, relating to Province House and nearby locations,” James Charlton, chief clerk of the Nova Scotia Assembly, wrote in an email circulated to each caucus. Reached by phone Thursday evening, Charlton wouldn’t provide details on the threats or the locations involved. Asked whether the threats were related to the ongoing protests in Ottawa and at the Ambassador Bridge, Charlton replied that they were “a factor.” In the email to the caucuses, Charlton said operations inside Province House will continue as usual and it will reopen once security risk subsides. Province House will remain open to members, assembly, government and caucus staff, the press gallery and committee witnesses. In the email Charlton said the decision behind the temporary closure to visitors came after consultation with Nova Scotia RCMP and Halifax Regional Police. “The recommendation to temporarily close to the general public is being made to protect the ongoing safety and security of members, staff and the building itself,” Charlton wrote. He noted that it’s a similar measure implemented during the fall sitting, when Province House was also closed to the public. Due to a security risk, access to Province House is temporarily suspended for all visitors as of February 11, 2022. pic.twitter.com/sLxIevfpZh — Nova Scotia Legislature (@NSLeg) February 10, 2022 0 comment 0 FacebookTwitterPinterestEmail admin previous post Suspicious packages arriving by mail at Nova Scotia MP, MLA offices next post N.S. lobster fisherman’s push to sell licence moves a step forward You may also like كارني تعهّد بتوحيد بلد منقسم من أجل مواجهة... 29 أبريل، 2025 احتفاظ الليبراليين بقيادة كارني بالسلطة في أوتاوا 29 أبريل، 2025 Liberals complete the sweep of Halifax-area ridings 29 أبريل، 2025 Province updates school code of conduct amid rise... 29 أبريل، 2025 Liberals make gains in Nova Scotia amid tight... 29 أبريل، 2025 RMCP search for missing Lower Sackville woman 26 أبريل، 2025 Canadians at pope’s funeral say ceremony reflected his... 26 أبريل، 2025 2alarm blaze decimates home in Middle Sackville 26 أبريل، 2025 Israeli airstrike kills 10 people, half of them... 26 أبريل، 2025 كارني يندّد بالحصار الغذائي الإسرائيلي على قطاع غزة 26 أبريل، 2025 Leave a Comment Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment.
