HALIFAX Nova Scotia is reinstating its border restrictions for New Brunswickers entering the province after an increase in COVID-19 cases in New Brunswick. Nova Scotia Premier Iain Rankin says effective 8 a.m. on April 15, New Brunswickers will once again be required to self-isolate for 14-days upon arrival in Nova Scotia and will be required to complete the Nova Scotia Safe Check-in form. We are seeing the increased cases in New Brunswick and we are also seeing the presence of variants in the Saint John area. Out of an abundance of caution, we have decided to reinstate our border restrictions to help prevent the spread of COVID-19, said Rankin.
HALIFAX The man known in Canadian basketball circles as ‘Coach K’ is prepared to hang up the clipboard for the last time. After 46-years of guiding the St. Francis Xavier University X-Men basketball team, Steve Konchalski’s time behind the bench is coming to an end. His final season has not gone according to plan, with the pandemic just one of several personal tragedies that Coach K has faced in the past year, but he handles it with grace and perspective. Konchalski fell in love with basketball as a child, growing up in Elmhurt, New York. He came to Nova Scotia as a skinny 17-year-old, and burst onto the scene as a star player for the Acadia Axemen, helping lead the team to a National Championship in 1963.
