New Developments for an Old Town
January 18 of the year 2000, the town of Wolfville was refounded. Home of the prestigious School that is Acadia University, the
once student populated town is now being heavily invested in to make room for our ever growing population. The new people
that have already lived there their whole lives, or are living there for school, are normally accustomed to the life of the city.
89% of census information says the populas came from other major cities within the nation, or around the world.
This investment is well received within the town, and namely the university. More opportunities for students will come with more
attention on them.
One student was worried about the culture of Wolfville, and how a massive influx of people migrating there will affect the little
town's usual workings and rituals. She declined to be interviewed because she said "I'm not great at explaining my thoughts."
However, developers said they would keep away from the old town of Wolfville, and will not destroy anything to be reconstructed.
But instead will keep development plans further out of the the "major" part of the town.
Studies show that places that have had major, and fast paced development in Nova Scotia was very well off, with the town of
Bridgewater, Amherst, and Sydney. But this one will be the most shocking yet. We'll see and developments come in.
A Look at Winter
A photo captured by a very cold Dalhousie student.
It's been a cold week for Halifax in particular, with two out-of-the-blue snow storms. One dropping 30cm of snow on
the city, and another dropping 20cm. However, this is not much compared to last years snow, in which was over
the head of most people. "It was insanity, my favorite bar closed down due to inaccessibility in the streets last year!"
Noted one Halifax man.
Halifax local government saw this problem, and how it hit our economy pretty hard, so they invested into the snow removal
program for the city. "It was lacking and was not effective." says local politician Patricia Baker, on the Snow Removal
situation last year. This year snow was removed within 24 hours, and the residence and businesses alike were relieved for this
fortunate course of action by the local government.
"We received a lot of flack last year, but we're taking the criticism and used it to guide our actions this year." Says Patricia
again.
Man Punches Snow Plow Driver
Local man, in the Bridgewater community had an altercation with a snow plow driver last weekend, which resulted in
the plow driver receiving a black eye. Kyle Blake; the man responsible is being held by police and is being charged with
aggravated assault and battery of the plow driver, which does not want his identity revealed.
The snow plow driver was doing his job, plowing the streets. But directly after he passes by Kyle's freshly shoveled drive
way, (essentially erasing his work), he dangerously hops onto the plow, and climbs into the cab of the truck. This is when an
took place, and ended with assault.
