Conservative MLA Keith Bain was on the South Shore recently to meet with area fire departments and first responders. Bain the critic for labour and workforce development called it a factfinding mission. He says the biggest concern brought forward by all departments was the recruitment and retention of volunteers. Another issue was the absence of a HazMat team for the area which is currently served by Kentville. Bain met with about a dozen departments and mutual aid associations in Lunenburg and Queens Counties during his two day visit.
