Residents of Wards Brook, Nova Scotia, Seek Justice for Damaged Beach and Watercourse

Residents of Wards Brook, Nova Scotia, are disputing man-made changes to their community's namesake brook and beach, citing Environment Act regulations prohibiting alteration of watercourses without a permit. Locals claim that the changes, including the construction of a causeway and armour rock wall, have destroyed their beach and caused a rift in the community. The government is being urged to enforce the regulations and address the issue.
