100.1 BayFM

Newfoundland & Labrador Hydro has issued a power warning for the island, effective Saturday morning, January 24, due to ongoing conditions at the Bay d’Espoir hydroelectric plant and higher-than-normal electricity demand.

One ATV operator was uninjured, while the second operator – whose helmet came off during the accident - suffered serious injuries and was transported to hospital by emergency services personnel with NL Health Services.

Last weekend, traffic in that area was slowed to 30 km/hr after significant rainfall created large potholes.

Changes came into effect January 1st and include $100 for eye examinations, $290 for single vision eyeglasses and $350 for bifocals.

The purpose is to evaluate whether the agreement is in the province’s best long-term interests.

On Bayfm with Lenny Benoit this week, Mayor Linda Chaisson said the new council met with her in November to discuss the future of Grenfell Campus and she should have more information about another meeting next week.

In a social media post this week, Parsons highlighted Grenfell’s recent 50th anniversary, and that it currently has over 1200 students, 100 teaching faculty, as well as over 200 courses each semester in 22 programs.

Located at 1 Washington Drive, it will be owned by the Mi’kmaw Cultural Foundation who can now begin renovations on the project.
