This is the best summary I could come up with:

Nearly 60 people living in a seniors’ complex in Sydney, N.S., have been forced to leave following an explosion at the building, Cape Breton Regional Municipality Mayor Amanda McDougall confirmed to CBC News.

First responders, including Cape Breton Regional Police, Fire and Emergency Services and EMO attended the scene.

March recommended that people who have propane hookups to their home have them checked out by their provider if large amounts of snow have fallen on them.

CBRM council called a local state of emergency after the snowstorm, which brought 150 centimetres of snow to parts of the island.

A provincial state of emergency was not declared, and Premier Tim Houston suggested on Tuesday criticized the municipality’s action."

MacDougall said a restaurant in Sydney, 7 by 7, posted photos to Facebook on Friday showing its ceiling caving in from the amount of snow on the roof.
