Work, Health & Housing N.S. government spending $100K on upgrades to North Preston Day Care Centre

https://www.ctvnews.ca/atlantic/nova-scotia/article/ns-government-spending-100k-on-upgrades-to-north-preston-day-care-centre/

Part of the upgrades to the 54-year-old day care includes installing a new energy-efficient electric heat pump system, as the building is currently heated by an oil-filtered boiler and baseboard radiators from the 1970s. [...] [African Nova Scotian Affairs Minister Twila] Grosse, said the spending would also go toward upgrades like solar panels, new insulation, windows and doors and energy-efficient light fixtures.

Yeah, we haven't had enough stories like this, lately. Though, it's something that probably wouldn't be newsworthy in a truly functional society.
