Checkpoints slated

RCMP have conducted close to 25 traffic checkpoints in the last week.

In recent checks, Sgt. Mike Holland said a number of tickets were issued in Berwick, Kingston, New Minas and Wolfville.

“We’re going to keep them up,” he warned, “and they’ll be concentrated throughout the county.”

Holland said, “our goal is to keep impaired drivers off the road during the holiday season.”
