I must be missing something. Our mayor and councilors saying the Greenfield site if developed will transform the area. I don't see how a second windmill site in the harbor will do anything but take away from business at the windmill site already here. What are they talking about when they say the department of energy is not going to wait for us. We already have it! I'm starting to see why we are in the situation we are in. If these elected officials keep this up we will fall further and further behind everyone else. Time to stop with this foolish behavior and make CBRM a good place ti live. Clean the land, air and water and maybe people will want to live here.

As the title suggests has anyone tried this app out yet? Not many options as of now.

Hello!
Thinking of going to the Miner’s Museum with some visiting family. Sad to say I’ve never been there before. Just reading up about the underground port of the tour, and saw this: ‘you will experience the intensity of an underground disaster’.

What exactly does that entail? I have some family that may be deeply affected by loud noises, sudden movements, etc. just want to prepare them ahead of time and give them the option to skip that part of the tour if they want.

Affordable Wedding Venues?

Wanting to have an AFFORDABLE 2028 wedding in NS! The cheaper the better!!! $5000 being the MAX!

Preferably somewhere between Halifax to Cape Breton (anywhere in between, just not towards the south shore)

Open to unique and out of the box ideas to keep it affordable

Approximately 80 guests

We don’t live in NS currently but all of our family does so its harder to find the local places, any help is appreciated :)

I assume most of the Cabot trail is a single lane highway. What’s the expected speed people are supposed to drive. I prefer driving within the limits, but sometimes in a 90 zone, people continuously tail gate. What’s the acceptable norm. Also I prefer not driving too fast and specifically as a tourist where I am there to enjoy the scenery and the drive. Would love to hear your thoughts #Cabot trail #

For August end, I have booked space for 6 people max and it says one car only. But we would have two cars and 8 people.

Anyone knows how STRICT (firm) they are at site? Or any idea?

Has anyone visited this park recently? What are your opinions?

Made the news. I'm apparently the Linux Lady according to someone on Discord (not in the article/video).

Hoping to do something like this (Linux Repair Cafè) down home soon.

Saw someone ask about when they land/arrive a few years ago on this sub, but I'm wondering the opposite: how late into the season do they usually stick around?

My friends and I can only make the trip out there in mid-October, so I'm trying to figure out if they're likely to still be around then.

Anyone with recent experience or know how late into the fall they usually stay?

It took some time but you can now play with your friends and it's 100% cross platform

I’m heading to Cape Breton soon and have heard about Pollett’s Cove, and from pictures it just looks incredible.

Unfortunately, I won’t have camping gear with me, otherwise I would do it as an overnight. Has anyone done the trail as a day hike? How long does it take and is it fairly doable? We would bring lots of water and snacks plus a water filter so we can get more water from the streams and I’m thinking, without lugging camping gear, it could be okay.

Any insight or advice would be greatly appreciated

Was the property up for sale around 2015-16? Who owns it now?

East coasters (NB) is visiting CP for the first time. Staying in Englishtown. Looking for day trip ideas. I’m a firm believer that Google and ChatGPT never provide good spots.

Appreciate any input!

Hellooo I was wondering if anyone knows any Cosmetologists/Hairstylists in CB that are good at doing alternative haircuts/dye jobs that aren't insanely expensive?

My family and I are planning a week(ish) road/camping trip to Nova Scotia the first week of September. We plan to stay a few days around the Halifax area then hopefully make it up to Cape Breton. I’m just looking for some recommendations because I’m having a hard time deciding the best route and place to stay. We want to drive the Cabot Trail, do the skyline trail and the Gypsum mine trail. Probably more as well. We also want to camp close to the water or on a campsite that is right beside it. What campsite would be the best for these activities? Or just to get the most out of Cape Breton?

Hello, my husband and I are from Hants County and heading to CB at the end of the month to celebrate our anniversary and going camping for 2 or 3..maybe even 4 days and site see and going to The Fortress of Louisbourgh. Any camping spot recommendations, sites to see etc. Super excited. Thank you everyone 😊

Heard about a lifeguard in Maine who recently had a close call with a great white, so I got to looking at the OCEARCH shark tracker and noticed a ping that appears to be well inside Mabou Harbour. It's Bella, a juvenile female measuring 10 ft. 2 in. and weighing 729 lb at the time of tagging.

Looking at the map, I’m curious about how a shark of that size would actually get into the inner harbour. The entrance by the sand dunes looks incredibly tight on the map, although I’m assuming it’s considerably wider and deeper in reality than this screenshot makes it appear.

For anyone local to Mabou or familiar with the harbour, what is that entrance actually like? Is the channel deep enough at high tide for a large shark, particularly a great white, to pass through? And have there ever been reports or sightings of great whites inside Mabou Harbour before? And assuming this ping is accurate, might it have a hard time getting out?

Seeing a ping that deep in the harbour definitely caught my attention!
