Nova Scotia approves road, rejects concerns about turtles
Nova Scotia’s environment minister has rejected an application to halt an access road for a housing development near a wetland in a suburb of Halifax.
In its response, the Environment Department says in a release today that it found no grounds for the claims for the affected area of slightly less than a hectare. It also found the area being approved for the road does not meet the criteria to be considered a wetland of special significance.Four people were recently arrested on obstruction charges for allegedly blocking police and construction vehicles during a protest at the site on Sept. 7.
