Tracing illegal guns starts with restoring what criminals try to erase. The U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, To***co and Fi****ms is training Nova Scotian law enforcement officials on serial number restoration. We were pleased Minister of Justice Scott Armstrong stopped by to meet the Consul General, ATF Attaché Chris Taylor, and the ATF team. Working together to stop international fi****ms trafficking strengthens both our nations. 🇨🇦🇺🇸

A productive and insightful New Brunswick trip!

The Consul General recently traveled across New Brunswick. The visit included engaging discussions with Premier Holt and Lieutenant Governor Imbeault on shared cross-border priorities, collaboration with the Beaverbrook Art Gallery, seeing the Sisson mine site to explore regional industry growth, and the historic Roosevelt-Campobello International Park, jointly run by the United States and Canada, and a longstanding symbol of our unique ties.

Thank you to the people of New Brunswick for the warm welcome!

Police responding to threats

Halifax Regional Police have a man in custody and an increased police presence in two areas of the city due to threats he made.

The Purdy’s Wharf parkade in downtown Halifax has been evacuated due to a suspicious vehicle that is being searched in response to the threats.

The man was arrested on Thomas Raddall Drive near the Canada Games Centre. Police will have an increased presence in this area as well.

Police ask the public to avoid both areas. More information will be released once it is available.
