"One version of confidence is: I've got this figured out.
Another version is: I can figure this out.
The first is arrogant and close-minded. The second is humble and open-minded.
Be humble about what you know, but confident about what you can learn."

Applications are now open for disaster financial assistance if you’ve suffered damages from flooding. The program covers up to $200,000 in uninsurable losses per household, small business and not-for-profit organization.
Applications are available online at https://t.co/yGLh64YgK0 or at Access Nova Scotia centres and MLA offices.
Please continue to assess the damage, keep all receipts and take pictures and videos, and work with your insurance company. Disaster financial assistance does not replace private insurance, and only uninsurable damage is eligible.
If you’re unsure if insurance covers the damage, contact your insurance broker or company or the insurance bureau at 1-844-227-5422.

This is a proactive warning in support of the @hfxgov fire emergency response. Remember you cannot operate an aircraft or a drone within 9.3 km of wildfires. It is illegal, you could be impeding firefighting operations, and you could be subject to penalties.
There is a provincewide ban on open fires because of dry conditions. The ban also applies to fires in provincial parks and private campgrounds and is in effect until further notice. #novascotia
