Happy Friday

The weekend forecast is a rainy one and it is a good chance everyone across the province is happy about that, especially weary firefighters battling wildfires on the mainland.
Wildfires continue to dominate our headlines with multiple stories from across the province including a homeowner planning to rebuild after the fires claimed her home.
In other news, a Cape Breton senior is questioning policy after he was left in pain after being transported to hospital by paramedics.
It's Cape Breton sport hall of fame weekend and Jeremy Fraser has been featuring this year's inductees all week. His latest profile is of Pamela LeJean.

Paramedics
The other four times Joe Smith had to be transported by ambulance to the hospital emergency department, the paramedics were able to administer medications.

According to the Nova Scotia Paramedics union's website, the medications a paramedic can administer are dependent on the level they are; primary care, intermediate care or advanced care.

Hall of Fame
Growing up in Cape Breton, Pamela LeJean considered herself to be an athlete with many talents. 

If she wasn’t on the court representing her school in basketball, she could be found on the pitch playing rugby, a sport she quickly fell in love with during her high school years. 

“I played sports my whole life,” said LeJean. “After basketball, I switched to rugby and I loved it. It was so much fun being able to smash into people and I really enjoyed it overall.”
