Due to the high volume of drivers failing to stop at intersections controlled by stop signs in the Grand Bay-Westfield area, different initiatives will be put forward by the Grand Bay-Westfield RCMP to encourage drivers to comply with the Motor Vehicle Act. As of now, there will be Zero Tolerance for drivers failing to come to a complete stop at intersections regulated by stop signs and police presence will be increased at those intersections. Our goal is to reduce and prevent Motor Vehicle collisions and to promote safe driving.

Church windows are covered with plywood after vandals threw rocks

The Church of the Resurrection in Grand Bay-Westfield was vandalized on the night of August 13 and August 15, 2009.  Several windows were broken during the two incidents. Vandals threw rocks through the exterior windows forming a cross on the side of the building. Two interior stained glass windows were damaged. These stained glass windows came from some of the smaller churches in the region that were closed and amalgamated to form this new parish. The new Anglican Church serving 700 families in the area opened just this spring. The damage from these acts of vandalism is estimated at about $10,000.
