“We’re trying to draw attention to the plight we find ourselves in here in Middleton,” said Johnson, who has lived in the town for 50 years. “This is a real emergency.”
Concerned residents met in January to discuss the situation in Annapolis County and decided to hold the rally and create a Facebook group . The rally was held under snowy conditions after being cancelled by weather the previous week.
Due to the weather, organizers advised people driving a distance to get to Middleton to stay home. Jennie Bignell, one of the rally organizers, said she was pleased with the turnout. “People can’t have an emergency on a schedule,” said Annapolis Royal resident Jim Rickards. “An emergency department can’t be open certain hours and closed others.”
Liberal Leader Zach Churchill said Middleton is the right location for an emergency centre in the region.
