Daniel Minden, press secretary to Defense Minister Anita Anand, confirmed in an email there were about 550 members of the Canadian Armed Forces in Nova Scotia last weekend, but that number had dropped to 400 by Thursday.
“In a province where we have something like 10,000 military personnel stationed here, it’s my personal belief that pretty much every single one of those people would drop everything to help their fellow Nova Scotians, should they be asked,” Nova Scotia Premier Tim Houston said at the time.
“As we enter Thanksgiving weekend, there are still thousands of Nova Scotians who are without power 14 days after the storm,” the statement said. “The damage was devastating, and the cleanup is extensive. More people supporting these efforts can make a huge difference for Nova Scotians.”
