Agenda

  • Panel about life in rural Nova Scotia, including in the affected communities: The purpose of the community panel is to establish important context at the start of proceedings about the rural communities in which the mass casualty took place—what the people and places are like, what makes them special and the things they may have in common with other Canadian communities. Our goal is to invite a cross-section of community representatives to share their voices and perspectives about life in rural Nova Scotia.
