In April of 2020, these sleepy neighbourhoods along the Bay of Fundy fell prey to a gunman on a rampage. Now, there are signs of healing as a public inquiry releases its long-awaited report
For the rest of the country, the findings and recommendations will be the end of the story, a milestone that many hope marks the beginning of positive change. Here, however,So does a lack of confidence in the RCMP.
Today, there is a ‘Nova Scotia Strong’ sign at the Irving Big Stop gas station in Enfield, N.S. Three years earlier, this was where police confronted and killed the gunman. Now, people gather for work parties at the site of the future centre and, on sunny days, a handful of kids clamber over wooden structures at a new playground, the only one in the rural community. A weekend farmers’ market attracts more than 100 people. These are small – but not insignificant – signs of healing and strength in a place that is heavily scarred.
The lack of a public alert to notify people that a gunman dressed as a police officer was on the loose, driving around in a mock cruiser, stirs up residual anger – especially when such alerts have been issued many times in Nova Scotia since, said Elizabeth Smith-McCrossin, the independent MLA for Cumberland North.
“People are going to be impacted by this massacre for a long time,” she said. “I think there’s going to be long-lasting effects.”
