HALIFAX — Some Nova Scotia fishermen who lost gear in Hurricane Juan now have new equipment, thanks to Digby-Annapolis Liberal MLA, Harold (Junior) Theriault.
Theriault brought some equipment from Digby to fishermen in Three Fathom Harbour, on the Eastern Shore. He says he's challenging the provincial government to do more to help fishermen.
Meanwhile, Premier John Hamm will be in Ottawa Thursday for a meeting with the Prime minister. Hamm says he wants to discuss immediate disaster relief in the wake of hurricane Juan.
