Eisner Cove News Today

Dozens of medical professionals have joined the call to stop development around a Bedford lake, which they say could hurt both the environment and the health of residents. 

The province says it granted $2.3 million to HRM in 2020 to complete studies in four areas that are targeted for housing developments, including Sandy Lake.

Province’s 68 actions to address climate emergency are a start, although the government’s timeline leaves doubts.

Three men and a woman were charged with obstruction following a protest at Eisner Cove. The woman has also been charged with assaulting an officer.

Protesters are upset the machines were moving in to do the first phase of land clearing for Mount Hope Village, an 875-unit housing project. The site is in the Eisner Cove wetland, an area the protestors say should be protected.

The province is giving Clayton Developments $21.8 million to hold rents between 60 and 80 percent of full market rates for 20 years.
