DUTCH SETTLEMENT:<\/strong> The extended East Hants and Dutch Settlement-area community is rallying for one of their own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Hanlon Family of Dutch Settlement lost their home, their beloved pets and all of their belongings in a horrific early morning house fire on July 11.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Several fire departments from HRM and East Hants responded to the house fire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kristine, Mike, and Cameron are long time area residents of Dutch Settlement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many in the community may know Mike from his time spent as a cook at Shooters, and Kristine is a High School Career Navigator at the LSK School in Sipekne’katik. Meanwhile, Cameron is looking forward to his final year of high school in the fall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
