Public hearings have begun in the United Kingdom regarding the 2018 death of Dawn Sturgess, a British woman who was exposed to the nerve agent Novichok, a substance used in an attempt to assassinate a former Russian double agent. The inquiry will explore the circumstances surrounding Sturgess’s death and the wider ramifications of the Novichok attack, which severely strained relations between the UK and Russia.
If you’re looking for a quick getaway, Salisbury might be exactly what you need. Located just eight miles from Stonehenge, Salisbury is a beautiful city with plenty to offer visitors, including medieval history, local markets, quaint walks, and gorgeous cycling routes. It’s also incredibly accessible, just over two hours away from London by car or three hours by train.
The town of Salisbury, New Brunswick, has introduced a new financial assistance program called Financial Assistance for Recreation (FAR) to help parents cover the costs of children’s activity programs such as sports teams and dance lessons. The program aims to make recreation more accessible and support the community’s goal of maintaining its status as Canada’s most active community. Parents can apply for up to $300 per child or $500 for households with multiple children, with priority given to low-income families and programs based in Salisbury. The program is funded through sponsorships and a small portion of the town’s budget, and some sponsors have already committed to multi-year support. The town hopes that the program will help them retain their national title during the upcoming Participaction challenge and continue to promote physical fitness among residents.
