The man has been released on conditions until his court appearance in Bridgewater February 24th.

STRIKE MAY AFFECT THE SOUTH SHORE

Services at South Shore Health will begin being reduced this week in preparation for a possible strike by CUPE employees on Jan 18th.
South Shore Health’s CEO Alice Leverman says they have been working with the local union to ensure they are able to provide a safe level of emergency care for communities. She added that patient, staff and public safety is and will continue to be their number one priority.
