Nova Scotia is getting more help from New Brunswick to clean up after hurricane Fiona.
More than 40 staff from the Department of Natural Resources and Energy Development are helping with recovery work.
In a tweet, the province said crews will be helping to clean up fallen trees over the next two weeks.

Meanwhile, efforts continue to restore electricity to hundreds of customers impacted by the storm two weeks ago.
As of Friday morning, more than 2,500 customers in northeastern Nova Scotia and Cape Breton were still without power.
Earlier this week, Nova Scotia Power said 80 per cent of the remaining outages caused by Fiona are single-customer outages.
“The work required to restore power for each of these customers takes at least one crew and repairs can take time,” the utility said in a news release on Wednesday.
At the time, officials said most remaining customers should have their power restored by Sunday, though it could be even longer for some individual customers “given the extensive damage they’ve experienced.”
