Saint Mary's University

Nova Scotia is investing one point five million dollars this year in seventeen mineral exploration, research, and education projects.

Recipients include a one hundred thousand dollar grant for antimony drilling in Hants County and about sixty-one thousand dollars for St. Mary's University research into lithium deposits in southwestern Nova Scotia.

The province says mining contributes more than four hundred million dollars a year to the economy and that five projects moving ahead this year will support about twelve hundred and fifty direct and indirect jobs.

Job seekers in the Halifax region met more than eighty employers at the Nova Scotia Works Fall Job Fair in Dartmouth.

Stark was in her third year at St. Mary's University when she says she was sexually assaulted by a male student.

She reported the incident to the university.

He was allowed to continue his educational journey.

He was given honors at graduation.

St. Mary's University issued this notice of no contact saying in part that should the two students find themselves in a common academic activity they shall leave as much physical space between them as possible and shall not communicate in any way.

Now, move 100 headlines.

The Nova Scotia government has ended a St. Mary's University program that was designed to improve the health care system.

The province had given SMU $25 million back in 2023 to create health care data analytics and management programs.

It created a few new programs, but the province has now decided to take back $11 million in unused funding and says St. Mary's has not demonstrated a concrete plan to make more programs.
