Highway 104 comments

The new Mayor of Port Hawkesbury doesn’t want tolls on the 7 kilometre stretch of Highway 104 from Port Hawkesbury to Port Hastings.

Brenda Chisholm-Beaton told the Cape Breton Post twinning that stretch of highway is unsustainable and unnecessary.  It would by-pass the town entirely which would hurt local businesses.  She says the town is working on its own plan to improve the main thoroughfare.

Whitney Pier Arena

The future of the Whitney Pier Arena is the topic of a public meeting this evening.

The meeting to be held at the Whitney Pier Legion will discuss what’s needed to keep the 50 year old arena going.  Jack Pearson, who is on the volunteer board running the arena; says a community effort is needed to save it.
