Today is National Check the Chip Day! 💙 If you have a new phone number or change of address, remember to update your contact information with your pet’s microchip registry. 🐾 A microchip with up-to-date contact information could mean the difference between LOST and FOUND. Not sure who your pet is registered with? 🤔 Simple! Ask your vet to scan and check at your next exam. All pets adopted through the Nova Scotia SPCA are microchipped and registered with 24PetWatch 😻 A special thank you to our friends at PetSmart Charities of Canada for providing complimentary microchips for subsidized spay/neuter surgeries booked at SPCA hospitals and clinics. ✨ Although microchips are small, they have the possibility to make a big difference by reuniting pets with their families. 🏠 #CheckTheChip #NationalCheckTheChipDay #Microchip #NSSPCA #PetSmartCharitiesOfCanada

Heading downtown Sydney? Pay attention for extra pedestrian traffic around Charlotte Street where the Downtown Sydney Street Festival is happening! Charlotte Street is completely closed to traffic during festival hours, between Dorchester and Wentworth Streets. Pitt Street will also be closed to traffic between Charlotte Street and the Esplanade. Prince and Wentworth Streets will remain open to through traffic.

We are working with CBRM Recreation to further investigate the vehicle-pedestrian collision during today's Pride Parade. While walking on Dorchester Street, a parade participant was struck by the rear wheel of the parade vehicle he was walking with, injuring his leg. Traffic Safety officers immediately stopped the parade and EHS responded to transport the injured personnel to hospital for further assessment. The injury is non-life-threatening. Officers were able to complete a preliminary investigation of the scene and after a short delay, resumed movement of the parade.
