On June 10, our community experienced a heartbreaking 💔 tragedy when a fire on King Street, Bridgewater claimed the life of
Amitoj Kaur and left six individuals without a home.

On the Shaheedi Divas of Sri Guru Arjan Dev Ji, we will also come together to offer prayers in loving memory of Amitoj Kaur and to seek strength, peace, and comfort for her family and loved ones during this incredibly difficult time.

🗓 Community Prayer & Tribute
Date: Sunday , June 21
Time: 12:00 PM – 3:00 PM
Location: Hebbville Fire Hall

Everyone is welcome to attend. The family of Amitoj Kaur will be present for those who wish to offer their condolences.

As this is a Sikh religious ceremony, we kindly ask all attendees to:
🪯Cover your head before entering
🪯Remove your shoes and socks outside the hall
🪯Respect the traditions and sanctity of the Sikh faith throughout the ceremony

A donation box will also be available for the survivors of the fire. If you would like to help them rebuild their lives, please consider bringing a cash donation. Every contribution, no matter the amount, is deeply appreciated.

Thank you for standing together as a community during this difficult time. Your presence, prayers, and support will mean a great deal to the family and to everyone affected.

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh 🙏

Please leave a comment “YES I AM COMING”
And share the post to help it reach the south shore community.

GREAT NEWS: The West Dalhousie/Long Lake wildfire in Annapolis County, which began during the summer of 2025, has now been confirmed as 100% extinguished following the completion of recent aerial hotspot scanning.

This wildfire was a major and devastating event, impacting a significant area and requiring an extensive response effort over many months. Tremendous appreciation is extended to all agencies, crews, volunteers, and community members who played a role in the response and recovery.

With wildfires already active around the province, members of Petite Rivière Fire Department spent the evening training close to home — setting up a mock scenario in a local subdivision bordering wooded provincial park land.

Crews practiced pump operations and wildland fire response, focusing on water supply, hose deployment, communication, and working safely in heavily wooded terrain. These training nights help prepare our department for the fast-moving and unpredictable nature of wildland fires, especially during dry conditions.

We’re proud of the dedication our volunteers continue to show — rain or shine, day jobs finished, supper dishes barely dry, and straight into bunker gear.

A reminder to our community to stay wildfire aware, follow burn restrictions, and report smoke or suspicious activity early. One spark in the woods can travel faster than gossip at the The Petite General Store . 🔥🚒

Our fire hall received a much appreciated donation from Nova Scotia Power last week.
The donation was in recognition of our commitment to community during the recent power outage. 🧊🕯
At tonight's monthly meeting, the membership voted to use it for our Canada Day community barbecue. 🍔🌭
Put it on the calendar - we were already talking about the fried onions! 🧅🥹
