Nova Scotia government grants $1.2 million to first responder organizations for equipment, water supplies, and personal protective gear.
Nova Scotia Government is giving $1.2 million in grants to 64 first responder organizations, including fire departments, search and rescue teams, and hazmat units. The funding aims to provide rescue equipment, water supplies, and personal protective gear for volunteer first responders. This comes as an appreciation for their recent heroic efforts during floods, and the province is also launching a pilot program to improve the mental health of first responders and other public safety personnel, and a new Nova Scotia Guard volunteer corps to help communities respond to and recover from crises and disasters.
