As we reported yesterday, it's all part of the construction for the cogswell district project beginning next month. A portion of barrington street is set to undergo a long term closure, affecting 30 bus routes and four bus bays. The project will see a new halifax transit hub expected to open early next year. And while the transit union acknowledges the eventual benefits of the project, they say the process will be challenging for traffic. >> It's going to be disruptive, of course, it's also going to depend if commuters with their own vehicles are going to be avoiding that area, with the detours in place because of the closure, we're we're expecting a congestion, but like I said, you can't predict that until it happens, and it will be ongoing for several months. >> The president says the biggest concern for transit drivers is scheduled delays, and says they hope to get more details sooner rather than later . Prime minister justin trudeau was in truro today to highlight the universal coverage of a of various contraception and diabetes medications, highlighting items from the budget 2024, he announced that the federal government is launching the first phase of a national pharmacare plan with $1.5 billion in federal funding under the plan, medications and devices including insulin birth control pills and iuds will be free for canadians. The president of the nova scotia

nurses union, janet hazelton, says coverage for contraception and diabetes is crucial for those without a drug plan. >> We see far too many patients come to us leaving our emergency departments or leaving their family doctors or nurse practitioners with prescriptions for medication to treat their diabetes, whether it's insulin or oral medication, only to know that they are not getting that prescription filled because they can't afford it. These patients inevitably land back in the system, requiring more intensive health care like an amputation, hazelton says. >> Nurses across the country hope to see more medications covered by the federal pharmacare program.

The event honored the 16 year old bedford hockey player, who lost his life to an undiagnosed inherited heart condition on what would have been his 27th birthday. >> To have other patients there and, you know, look up and see his name there and see all the other patients that are being, you know, looked at by the amazing team that's here. I think that's something that will really hit home in a way that I don't think I'm maybe ready for yet, but I think it'll be an emotional moment. But it'll be something I'll be very proud of. >> The boyd family has been raising awareness for heart health and making life saving tools available to the public since jordan's passing in 2013. This moment, a culmination of over a decade of work towards keeping jordan's memory alive through a legacy of helping others. When we started on this journey ten years ago, this was never the game plan, so to speak. >> We just wanted to remember jordan. You know, jordan, I think, would be very humbled and proud to see this. This family has done so much, to honor their son, and for the community and for our clinic and is fantastic to honor him this way. >> To date, the boyd family has raised $1.2 million towards funding inherited heart disease research. They've come a long way in moving the needle on awareness around the importance of cpr and making automated external defibrillators accessible in public spaces. I don't think you can be understated. >> The impact that the boyd family has had on heart safe communities throughout nova scotia, the goal here is, is really to change that culture and get aeds from, you know, locked cabinets or inside offices to more public locations. And that's exactly what they've done. >> Described as a truly kind and caring person by his father and a funny, humble shoulder to cry on by his brother jordan boyd is now forever memorialized at this clinic.
