If your planning a stay at one of the province’s national parks this summer you may want to make those reservations sooner rather than later. With national parks free for the season as part of the Canada’s 150th celebration – reservation spots at many of Nova Scotia’s parks are filling up quickly. Cape Breton Highlands and Kejimkujik National Parks both officially opened for the season on Friday. Keji opened with campground sites for the weekend at 97 percent occupancy.

UFO Festival in NS to Continue Thanks to Donation
A festival marking Nova Scotia’s most infamous UFO sighting will continue thanks to anonymous donour. The co-ordinator of the Shag Harbour UFO festival tells CBC the significant donation comes after the festival’s request for 20-thousand-dollars in federal and provincial funding was rejected. The festival commemorates an incident the night of October 4th, 1967 when numerous local residents reported an unidentified flying object crashing into the waters of Shag Harbour. No planes were in the area at the time. A search by local fisherman and the Canadian Coast guard failed to find any debris or evidence of the mysterious crash.
