This week @NS_Museum collections are the focus of exciting walrus research underway by #4oceans team members. Specimens from Sable Island and around NS are being 3D scanned to help answer some questions about the extirpated Maritime population.

Note: the rate of snowfall may exceed 5cm/hr through what would normally be the morning drive in CBRM, as well as parts of E PEI & Strait region for the "drive" home.
Best to prepare NOT to drive through these periods; otherwise risk getting stuck and blocking roads for plows
