Metro - N.S. to use device to find wandering people

HALIFAX - Nova Scotia is introducing a new way of finding anyone with autism, Alzheimer's disease or other cognitive conditions who wanders off alone.

Emergency Management Minister Ross Landry says the radio frequency tracking system will use bracelets to help those who enrol if they become lost and confused.

The government says the need for the system was underlined by the death of seven-year-old James Delorey in 2009.
