Majority of St. John’s residents happy with quality of life: survey
In-depth report by MQO is the focus of weeklong MetroView coverage by The Telegram

Two-thirds of St. John’s-area residents love where they live — warts and all.

Research firm MQO with Cape Consulting — and local partner The Telegram — released Thursday the results of a comprehensive survey conducted in St. John’s, Moncton and Halifax over the past two weeks.

The survey asked 400 St. John’s-area residents dozens of questions in broad areas, including quality of life, health care, crime, the economy and municipal services, with answers broken down along demographic lines as well.

Worker reps say no to offshore night flights

According to worker representatives who spoke with The Telegram Thursday, the majority of offshore workers would not want to take night flights, despite the addition of Cougar Helicopters’ search and rescue service and other offerings.

“That’s all great, and it’s necessary, and we’re glad that it’s done, but the fact is they’re missing the point.

“There’s a greater chance of fatalities at night than there is in the day when a helicopter ditches,” said Brian Murphy, an offshore worker who also represents other workers, as a union leader with the Communications, Energy and Paperworkers Union, Local 2121. Continued at http://bit.ly/PrAFNe
