John's police headquarters, where they learn to just what it takes to become an officer in the port city. >> Whether it was in a formal classroom setting,. >> Or more hands-on work, those taking in the first ever inclusion and diversity recruitment camp got a good grasp of the day-to-day life of a st.

And the more diversity on the force the better. >> The benefit of having different languages and policing and being able to speak the native languages of the different individuals who would come across on day-to-day is a huge benefit. In understanding and of course there's an understanding of of the different cultural backgrounds as well. That they bring to the table. >> Those taking part also see the benefit. And hope to add to a more diverse patrol in the city that is becoming more multicultural. >> Being able to speak to a policeman, most of the people. >> Sometimes scared. >> There are some communications, one is not able to explain them selves to a different person from a different ethnic group, is always a little bit more to the occasion. >> The st.

Turn our attention to todd we had another busy day in the newsroom hi todd. >> Coming about 6:00 the owner of northern... Will see the company abandon plans to reopen its county mill. And that's after a reach an agreement with the nova scotia government. The company will now focus on reopening a pulp plant in southwestern nova scotia. It's a compromise that both sides are saying could be beneficial, we will get the details at 6:00. We have some new numbers for you on population growth in the maritimes. And looks like monk and in halifax are leading the way when it comes to people moving to the area. In fact leaving the country. A lot of that growth is being driven by newcomers, and people moving here from other provinces. Of course there are challenges and benefits will talk about those at six.

>>> The predictions are out and it looks like it could be a very active storm season in our region. The canadian hurricane centre says it's mainly due to record warm water temperatures, in the atlantic ocean. There could be up to 25 named storms. Will have the details for you at 6:00. Let's go to whether centre. Kalin mitchell tracking hurricanes, but severe weather that's coming into the region. >> Kalin: we have severe it's on her sons are coming in out of the state of mains to western areas of new brunswick, a severe thunderstorm watch is in effect for much of the western brunswick, that means the conditions are prime for thunderstorms to develop that could bring along hazards including downpours, strong wind gusts and some sizable hail. Thunder storm warning issued for a few locations, a pair a particularly strong thunderstorms moving in at the moment. You can see that the line of thunderstorms is a bit broken, has developed and moving in out of the state of maine, a pair of thunderstorms that I mentioned are on the stronger side one of them in the vicinity of... Reporting plenty of lightning lightning strikes in the last 10 to 15 minutes, as well as a second strong thunderstorm that's just now approaching the woodstock area. Taking a look at the timing of these thunderstorms moving fairly quickly west to east near 60 kilometres an hour that meet location is likely to be in that northernmost thunder storm within the next few minutes. Looking at the thunderstorms moving toward south areas like portland at risk of getting into that thunderstorm as well. As well as woodstock area. Very shortly as well. Thunder roars had indoors, had indoors, and wait this severe weather out. Up to six to nine kilometres in height a sign of a strong golf thunderstorm notice the bright colours here on the cross section and radar the purple showing up, that is likely a sign that some lease on the storms do contain some hail. I will have updates on these thunderstorms throughout the program.

For dartmouth and surrounding communities. Of those 300 meals, some of those clients are free of charge. Because they are unable to pay. And we do that through the generosity of our community, and the money that they donate to us to support us. We are a not-for-profit organization.
