Bayers Lake businesses allowed to reopen as wildfire is held at 15 hectares
Nova Scotia's Department of Natural Resources says a wildfire in Halifax was caused by human activity. Businesses in the Bayers Lake area of Halifax are allowed to reopen Thursday as a wildfire in the area is being held. The Department of Natural Resources (DNR) says the Susies Lake wildfire is not growing and is still around 15 hectares. DNR says 30 crew members and 12 Halifax Regional Fire and Emergency firefighters are on site Thursday and are still working to bring it under control. The Halifax Regional Municipality says there is still no threat to residents and structures at this time. The fire near the busy business park and shopping district started around 2:30 p.m. Tuesday in the woods behind a building on Julius Boulevard and Dugger McNeil Drive. At one point, it was estimated to be about 25 to 30 hectares in size. The cause is still under investigation, but the province confirmed Wednesday that it was started by human activity. 'It was an open fire. There was nobody in the area when the crews arrived on scene,' said Scott Tingley of the Department of Natural Resources during a news conference. 'That makes it impossible to hold the person or people responsible to account and that's frustrating for everyone.' Officials declined to release any additional details, including whether there was an encampment in the area. Evacuation order lifted for businesses The mandatory evacuation order for businesses in the plaza on the west side of Chain Lake Drive, between the off-ramp for Highway 2 to Julius Boulevard, was lifted at 11 a.m. Thursday. The order included civic addresses at 205, 213 and 225 Chain Lake Drive. However, Julius Boulevard, from the intersection with Dugger McNeil Drive to the intersection with Susie Lake Crescent, remains closed due to the firefighting efforts. Barriers will be in place and Halifax Regional Police remain on scene. Access to Susie Lake Crescent is available via Chain Lake Drive. Bayers Lake Community Outpatient Centre to reopen Friday While the mandatory evacuation order has been lifted, Nova Scotia Health says the Bayers Lake Community Outpatient Centre will remain closed Thursday 'due to the unpredictable nature' of the wildfire. The health authority says the centre will reopen Friday. Any Friday appointments that were already rescheduled or relocated to other sites will remain at those new times and locations. The centre, which offers medical services and clinics, has been closed since it was evacuated Tuesday afternoon. Patients who booked blood collection appointments at the Bayers Lake site for Thursday are asked to attend the Bayers Road blood collection clinic at the same scheduled time. Electrocardiogram patients booked at Bayers Lake for Thursday will be accommodated at the Cobequid Community Health Centre at their regularly scheduled appointment time. Halifax Transit HRM says Route 28 Bayers Lake has returned to regular routing now that the mandatory evacuation order has been lifted. Other Nova Scotia wildfires There are several other wildfires burning in the province, including one near Long Lake that has prompted a mandatory evacuation order in West Dalhousie, N.S. The evacuation order applies to people living at civic addresses #4094 to #5315 West Dalhousie Road. Those people have been told to leave their homes 'immediately' and go to the Bridgetown Fire Hall. The Long Lake fire grew to 30 hectares overnight and is considered out of control. A wildfire near Hoyt Lake is also out of control but is down to one hectare. DNR says 30 crew members have been assigned to Long Lake while seven DNR firefighters are working near Hoyt Lake. One DNR helicopter and two contracted helicopters are working on both fires. Crews are putting a dozer guard around the West Dalhousie Community Centre and two communication towers. A wildfire at Lake Paul is still being held at 1.9 hectares and is not growing at this time. Ten DNR crew members and 10 local fire department firefighters are on scene. Six small wildfires in the Birchwood Road area of Oxford are all under control. DNR says crews will remain on site until they are fully extinguished. For more Nova Scotia news, visit our dedicated provincial page

TOBi wants to help young Black boys tap into their power
Social Sharing TOBi is a Juno award-winning rapper who collaborates with Canadian music legends like Jully Black, Haviah Mighty, and Saukrates. Nonetheless, he says making hip-hop is not about fame; his whole life is devoted to connecting with young people. "I hope that young Black men hear these lyrics and can feel seen," TOBi tells Q guest host Garvia Bailey. "As well as to know that they have an inner power that they should tap into.… We don't have time to wait for the world to change." WATCH | TOBi's full interview with Q guest host Garvia Bailey: TOBi just released Elements Vol. 2., which is his fifth release after three albums and an EP. But before his career in rap, TOBi worked as a youth counselor. He's happy that he's still motivating people with his words, but now he's connected with his higher purpose. "When I was in the middle of work thinking about song lyrics and concepts, I was like, 'I think I know where my heart is telling me to go,'" TOBi says. "As much as I genuinely love this profession [as a youth counsellor] and this field of work, it didn't feel like it was my calling." Although his work with social services is behind him, TOBi says that his experience with helping at-risk teens in Toronto holds a special place in his heart. "I wasn't much older than some of these people. Like I was like 23, 24," TOBi recalls. "'Til this day, I still will talk to some of those people who are on the front lines, here and there, just to check in.… The lesson that I learned from that is everybody's trajectory can change.… I don't think anybody's a lost cause." As an immigrant who grew up pouring his feelings into his poetry whenever he missed his family back in Nigeria, TOBi was always in touch with his own vulnerability. But as an adult, TOBi is writing about the bigger picture too. He says that learning about colonization and war has inspired him to dig even deeper with his lyrics. "This is not just a game, you know what I mean?" TOBi says. "Like there are rules that were set in place before you were born that are affecting your life right now. So understand what those rules are so that you can have longevity." TOBi's new album Elements Vol. 2 is an homage to all of these components that have shaped his life, and now shape his art. His tracks encourage his listeners to overcome obstacles in their lives, and keep fighting even when they feel like the odds are against them. "I think [this album] should also reflect not only my growth as an artist, but also it can be a way to speak to the times in an interesting way," he says. The full interview with TOBi is

Endling brings dark humour to the Russian invasion of Ukraine
Ukrainian-Canadian writer Maria Reva published her first novel, Endling, this summer. The absurdist novel follows a Ukrainian snail scientist who gets involved with two sisters trying to take down the country's marriage industry — all while the Russian invasion of Ukraine begins. Endling swiftly made the longlist for the Booker Prize, an international award worth over $90,000. Only a handful of Canadians have ever won: Margaret Atwood, Michael Ondaatje and Yann Martel. Today on Commotion, guest host Ali Hassan speaks with culture critic Carole V. Bell about why she loves Endling. Interview with Carole V. Bell produced by Jane van Koeverden.
