The Yarmouth ferry has so far cost the province more than it’s seen in tourism spending. Tourism Nova Scotia says $62.8 million has been spent since the ferry’s revival, but visitors who took it here spent about $52 million. Part of the provincial spend was startup cost, and hotel occupancy did go up 57% in southwest Nova Scotia.

Sydney home invasion
Police continue to investigating a home invasion in North Sydney Sunday afternoon.
They’re asking for help in locating two men who broke into a 95 year old woman’s home on Haley Street and stole her cash and jewellery. She was home at the time but not hurt.
One man is described as tall and slim, wearing grey pants and a black and grey checked jacket, black boots, as well as a red and green mask. The second man was shorter with black hair and was wearing a white sweater and black jeans.
If you saw or heard anything in the area at that time Sunday afternoon around 5:30, call the police or Crimestoppers.
