Seniors displaced after Yarmouth fire | SaltWire #fire #yarmouth #seniors #newsSYDNEY, N.S. — Cape Breton Regional Municipality council says it will not tolerate the province’s Department of Justice looking to download responsibilities of policing 100-series highways and Route 4 within the municipality onto the Cape Breton Regional Police.
That didn’t happen in this case, said McDougall-Merrill. And the mayor, who brought the memo up during Tuesday's council meeting at city hall, is at a loss to understand why. “A year ago, Cape Breton Regional Police terminated the MOU that they had in place. So they knew that it was their responsibility, they were paying for it, and they decided that they weren’t going to. And they didn’t tell us about it — and we only found out about it later.”
Magnus also clarified that regional police responsibilities do include some provincial highways — including Routes 4 22, 28 and collector highways 255 and 305 — but not the 100-series highways and Route 4 through Ben Eoin, Big Pond and Irish Vale. “Why somebody who is an elected official who is supposed to work as a representative for the people who elected them to speak on their behalf on provincial issues?” said Gillespie, before using a word deemed unparliamentary language within council chambers — one in which he apologized for using after being reprimanded by McDougall-Merrill.
