Savoie Donner Prize–winning author explores economic instability in the Maritimes In 2006, award-winning author Donald Savoie wrote a seminal book on economic development in the Maritimes: Visiting Grandchildren. His plans were “to exit the field with this book.” A decade later, he marks his return to that subject with Looking for Bootstraps. Concerned about the region’s future, he sought to explore and explain the reasons behind its lack of economic development. The result will spark a much-needed debate about the future of the Maritime provinces. Drawing on his past involvement in regional development (senior policy advisor to former minister of DREE; establishment of ACOA) and on his earlier work, Savoie brings a fresh perspective to an age-old problem and asks the tough questions: Why has the Maritime region not developed as well as other Canadian regions, and what can we do about it?

The Miss Ally’s crew, five young men from southern Nova Scotia, knew a wicked storm was approaching, but they also had thousands of dollars of fishing equipment baited and set on the ocean floor. Instead of gunning for shore, they decided to stay until morning and try to locate their buoys, nets, and hooks by daylight; the decision proved fatal. Sometime overnight, following calls to the Joint Rescue Coordination Centre and their loved ones on land, the Miss Ally capsized. Despite an extensive search, the vicious winter storm prevented any form of rescue from sea or air, and all five fishermen—Katlin Nickerson, Joel Hopkins, Cole Nickerson, Tyson Townsend, and Billy Jack Hatfield—were lost at sea. Their bodies were never found. Through interviews with the crew’s families and co-workers, the Coast Guard Joint Rescue Co-ordination Team, and members $22.95 | History | 978-1-77108-479-6 eISBN (ePub): 978-1-77108-480-2 of the tight-knit fishing communities of Woods Harbour and 6 x 9 | 256 pages | paperback | 10 b/w images Cape Sable Island, award-winning journalist Quentin Casey Rights held: World | Pub date: April pieces together the night the Miss Ally foundered, weaving in the backstories and the aftermath of this tragic accident.
