Indigenous community hosts full moon ceremony ...

Kristen Villebrun and Wendy Bush hoped they wouldn't have to pray for Chedoke Creek, but four years after they first raised alarm about the water's condition, they were part of an Indigenous full moon ceremony to do just that. About 50 people showed up near Princess Point on the dark and frigid Monday evening for the monthly ceremony, which was particularly special as it focused on Chedoke Creek. The body of water that runs into Cootes Paradise had about 24 billion litres of sewage and storm water runoff leak into it due to a gate being left open.

First floating tidal power delivered to Nova Scotia grid

Ocean energy firm Sustainable Marine today announced it has delivered the first floating in-stream tidal power to Nova Scotia’s grid, successfully harnessing the enormous tidal currents in Canada’s Bay of Fundy. The news marks a significant milestone both for the company and Canada’s broader marine energy ambitions, Sustainable Marine CEO Jason Hayman, said: “Achieving ‘first power’ to the grid from our new platform in Grand Passage signals a real inflection point for our business. It crystalises the journey we’ve been on, following almost a decade of rigorous research, development and testing.”
