ED construction at Yarmouth Hospital in Canada to begin soon
The Government of Nova Scotia in Canada has announced that construction of a new emergency department (ED) at Yarmouth Regional Hospital will commence next week. This project is designed to enhance emergency healthcare services for residents of Shelburne, Yarmouth and Digby counties. The upgraded facility will have a capacity to accommodate 30 patients at a time, a substantial increase from the existing 14. In addition, the ED will be equipped to handle four ambulances simultaneously, doubling the current capacity. The inclusion of two triage spaces, a resuscitation/trauma area, two virtual-care exam rooms, and a waiting area for children is among the planned improvements. Furthermore, the department will feature mental health facilities and a specialised ear-nose-throat exam room. Yarmouth Regional Hospital site medical lead Dr Joe Gillis said: 'Our emergency department team, our patients and our community have been looking forward to work getting started on the Yarmouth Regional Hospital emergency department redevelopment. 'We will be excited to see boots on the ground and work happening. We are confident it will ultimately allow for better care in a more spacious, modern environment, resulting in an enhanced patient and provider experience.' Despite the construction activity, the hospital will continue to operate all services as usual. The government said that any disruptions, including changes to parking and patient drop-off/pickup areas, will be kept to a minimum. Yarmouth MLA Nick Hilton, on behalf of Public Works Minister Fred Tilley, said: 'Investing in healthcare infrastructure is how we support the healthcare needs of our growing population and recruit and retain the best and brightest healthcare professionals to our communities. 'A new, modern and larger emergency department will improve care for Nova Scotians in Yarmouth, Shelburne and Digby counties.' PCL Constructors Canada has been selected to carry out the construction, winning the C$77.8m ($56.17m) tender through a competitive bidding process. The total cost of the project will be disclosed upon its completion, with the new facility expected to open its doors in 2027.

Movies to see this week: Turtles, 'Tigers Are Not Afraid,' 'Donnie Darko'
From the sewers to Versailles, falling airplanes to floating bodies, the film calendar in the Twin Cities is full of classics this week. (Let's interpret "classic" pretty broadly here because I don't want emails about how absurd it is to put Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in the same realm as Sunset Boulevard.) Spring is coming, but it's still cold enough that you'll want to spend some time inside. Here are the repertory movie screenings worth a stop at the theater this week. Wednesday, March 19 at Emagine Eagan, Emagine Lakeville, Emagine White Bear, and Emagine Willow Creek Films like Sunset Boulevard and The Godfather wind up in repertory series with relative frequency. However, it's probably less common to see the turtles back on the big screen. (At least, it's not often you get to see their early '90s incarnation.) Indulge in its deluge of pizza jokes and '90s slang, whether you unironically love the movie or feel it fits snugly into the "so bad it's good" category. (A reminder for the latter group: We didn't get the timeless collaboration between mutant turtles and Vanilla Ice until the sequel.) Various locations ($10.60) Monday, March 24 at Heights Theater Sunset Boulevard just won't age. Despite being 75 years old, it's still haunting, funny, and tense, right from the opening voiceover when Joe Gillis (William Holden) is seen floating face down in a pool. "You see, the body of a young man was found floating in the pool of her mansion with two shots in his back and one in his stomach. Nobody important, really. Just a movie writer with a couple of 'B' pictures to his credit." The final writing collaboration between director Billy Wilder and screenwriter Charles Brackett might have been their best. 3951 Central Ave. NE, Columbia Heights ($16–$16.75) Monday, March 24 at Emagine Willow Creek Issa López's film doesn't neatly fit into any single genre. It's a crime thriller. It's a fairy tale. It's horror. It's fantasy. More importantly, if you're considering seeing it for the first time, it's just good. A group of kids navigate living amid the everyday violence and horrors of the drug cartels in their city. It's thrilling and fantastical, but Tigers Are Not Afraid (titled Vuelven in Mexico) isn't light viewing. Under the creatures and tension sits painful truth. 3951 Central Ave. NE, Columbia Heights ($7.60) Sunday, March 23 at Emagine Eagan, Emagine Lakeville, Emagine White Bear, and Emagine Willow Creek Is there a movie that more perfectly captures the zeitgeist of early aughts indie films? (For a certain dorm-room poster, mind-bending thread of that era, Donnie Darko is a good representative. Another thread might be more accurately represented by Wes Anderson or Sofia Coppola's whimsy. Oh, and then there's Andrew Bujalski's... I'm getting off track.) After a plane falls from the sky, Donnie (Jake Gyllenhaal) has visions of a giant rabbit that tells him to do things. Naturally, it's not good things. The creepy rabbit with teeth and deep voice isn't benevolent. Various locations ($12.60) Saturday, March 22 and Sunday, March 22 at Alamo Drafthouse Coppola's offbeat retelling of Marie Antoinette's life feels well-suited for a revisit. (Because Gang of Four are on their farewell tour and coming to Minneapolis. What did you think I meant?) The stylish film follows Marie, played by Kristen Dunst, from her marriage to Louis XVI to her time in court as a teenage queen. It also gets to that other part. You know, the whole "let them eat cake," fall of Versailles, chop chop thing, if only in a vague way that never actually shows her bloody demise. 9060 Hudson Rd., Woodbury ($13)Movies screening in the Twin Cities this week: Mar. 19: Showgirls (1995) at Edina Theatre Mar. 19: Shark Exorcist (2015) at The Trylon Cinema Mar. 19: Women's Adventure Film Tour 2025 at Riverview Theater Mar. 19: Spring Breakers (2012) at AMC Eden Prairie, AMC Southdale, and CMX Odyssey Mar. 19: Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me (1992) at Alamo Drafthouse Mar. 19: Wild at Heart (1990) at Alamo Drafthouse Mar. 19–20: Hop (2011) at Emagine Eagan, Emagine East Bethel, Emagine Lakeville, Emagine White Bear, and Emagine Willow Creek Mar. 20: Elvis: That's the Way It Is (1920-2001) at The Heights Theater Mar. 20: Mulholland Drive (2001) at Emagine Willow Creek Mar. 20: Rad Day 2025 at AMC Eden Prairie, AMC Southdale, Emagine Eagan, Emagine Lakeville, Emagine White Bear, Emagine Willow Creek, Oakdale Cinema, Parkwood Cinema, Southbridge Cross Cinema, St. Michael Cinema, and West End Cinema Mar. 20 and 23: House (1977) at Grandview Theatre Mar. 20: Boom: A Film About the Sonics (2018) at Cloudland Theater Mar. 21: Luca (2021) at Emagine White Bear Mar. 21 and 23–25: Lost Highway (1997) at Alamo Drafthouse Mar. 21–25: Phantom Thread (2017) at The Trylon Cinema Mar. 22: "Cinema Is of the Mind Anyway," films by Jordan Lord and Tiffany Sia at Walker Art Center Mar. 22: Middle School Movie Club: Belle (2021) at Walker Art Center Mar. 23: Spaceballs (1987) at Audrey Rose Vintage Mar. 23–24: The Godfather (1972) at Oakdale Cinema, Parkwood Cinema, Rosemount Cinema, and West End Cinema Mar. 23: The Princess Bride (1987) at Roxy's Cabaret Mar. 24: Bob Trevino Likes It (2024) at The Main Cinema Mar. 25: Catacomb Cinema Club at Bryant Lake Bowl Mar. 25: Girls Town (1996) at Alamo Drafthouse
