Nova Scotia community looks forward to brighter year after 2018 marred by tragedy
YARMOUTH, N.S. — A community on the southwestern coast of Nova Scotia is looking forward to a brighter 2019 after a difficult year that’s been bookended by tragedy.
In early January 2018, a blaze broke out at a home in Pubnico Head in Yarmouth County, N.S., and claimed the lives of four children, all under the age of eight.
And in late November, a four-year-old girl died after falling under the wheels of a float during the town of Yarmouth’s annual Christmas parade.
