    21869-03 Beaton-Muise Article.qxd:Book - Master Setup 12/18/08 1:39 PM Page 39 The Canso Causeway: Tartan Tourism, Industrial Development, and the Promise of Progress for Cape Breton MEAGHAN BEATON and DEL MUISE Cet article évalue la conceptualisation, la construction et la mythologisation de la chaussée de Canso, un important projet de reconstruction réalisé après la Seconde Guerre mondiale, qui a permis de relier la partie continentale de la Nouvelle-Écosse et le Cap-Breton en 1955. Réclamée pour aider à améliorer les perspectives décroissantes des industries du charbon et de l’acier du Cap-Breton, la chaussée a aussi eu un impact immense en élevant le tourisme au rang d’une industrie viable, le Cap-Breton étant une communauté écossaise traditionnelle et désormais accessible. Le tourisme et l’expansion industrielle ont été étroitement liés à un important changement de cap des politiques du gouvernement fédéral, qui a alors commencé à assumer un rôle plus interventionniste dans la planification du développement économique régional, ce qui leur a été profitable. This article assesses the conceptualization, construction, and mythologizing of the Canso Causeway, a major post-Second World War reconstruction project that joined mainland Nova Scotia to Cape Breton Island in 1955. Sought after in order to help improve the waning prospects of Cape Breton’s coal and steel industries, the causeway also had a tremendous impact on increasing tourism as a viable industry based on Cape Breton as a traditional but accessible Scottish community. Both tourism and industrial expansion were closely tied to and benefited from a significant policy shift as the federal government began to assume a more interventionist role in regional economic development planning.

The Committee is composed of representatives of the Department of Regional Economic Expansion, Environment Canada and Transport Canada, and of the Department of the Environment, Department of Development and Department of Municipal Affairs of the Province of Nova Scotia. The Strait of Canso Environment Committee has as its first objective the development of an environmental management strategy proposal for the Strait of Canso area. Regional environmental assessment and environmental management programs must necessarily be based upon a comprehensive and integrated knowledge of the physical, social and economic resource base ofthe region. Toward this end, the Committee arranged for an initial program, funded under a Federal-Provincial agreement, comprising an inventory of existing information on the natural environment of the Strait of Canso region. The inventory of natural resources and resource uses commenced the summer of 1974, leading to the presentation of the information in a series of special maps and accompanying reports for publication and distribution in late 1975 and early 1976.

  • Island Wide Collaboration
    Brenda Chisholm-Beaton - Mayor of Port Hawkesbury An Island-wide Collaboration Opportunity: Transportation Gateways Cape Breton Regional Municipality Eskasoni Inverness County Membertou Port Hawkesbury Potlotek Richmond County Victoria County Wagmatcook We'koqma'q Some examples of our Gateways: Canso Causeway – Entryway to the Island Highway/roads connecting our communities NFLD Ferry Strait of Canso and Sydney Ports Rail to Point Tupper Two Regional Airports, Smaller Airports We all have a stake in ensuring our gateways are strong and sustainable! Why are our Gateways important? If we collaborate to improve, diversify and develop our existing Transportation Gateways - it will benefit our entire Island – including visitors, citizens, businesses and industries. Improving our gateways is a strategic way to maximize and grow the number of visitors to our Island. Strong diversified gateways can serve as economic drivers for Island growth beyond tourism, now and in the future. If we work together in an integrated way – on improving our existing gateways, better connecting the Island via our transportation assets in an intermodal way, then we can position our Island for sustainable growth and prosperity. A Focus on our Island Gateways A New idea? Local Island leaders identified an interest in improving our Cape Breton/Unama’ki gateways at our 2nd Annual One Cape Breton / One Unama’ki Summit hosted by Chief Terry Paul in Membertou in April 2019, with the assistance of Engage Nova Scotia and the Cape Breton Partnership. As this discussion continues – we have been presented with our first potential Gateway project that involves the primary Gateway to our Island – the Strait of Canso Gateway.

Project #14-5063 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Strum Consulting completed a bird interaction study (the Study) at the Canso Causeway location in Port Hawkesbury, NS in 2014. This study was conducted to assess the bird community (abundance and species composition), and to gauge bird behavioural responses to, and interaction with, NSPI infrastructure. Other potential mortality factors, including vehicular traffic, were also assessed. The scope of the study included two main field components: active observations; and carcass searches which consisted of bi-weekly surveys within two, six-week periods (late spring and fall) when birds traditionally congregate in the area.

  • The Best of the Maritime Provinces
    THE BEST OF THE MARITIME 1 PROVINCES lanning a trip to Atlantic Canada shouldn’t be hard, yet the number of small towns, quaint inns, and potential driving Proutes makes it a bit complex. These are my suggestions for some of the best destinations and experiences. THE best ACTIVE VACATIONS W Sea Kayaking in Nova Scotia: The twisting, convoluted coastline of this province is custom-made for snooping around by sea kayak. Outfit- ters are scattered around the province. For expedition kayaking, contact outfitter Coastal Adventures (www.coastaladventures.com) about a current schedule of trips. See chapter 4. W Biking the Cabot Trail (Nova Scotia): The long, strenuous loop around Cape Breton Highlands National Park is tough on the legs, but serious cyclists will come away with a head full of indelible memories. See “Cape Breton Island” in chapter 4. W Exploring Fundy National Park and Vicinity (New Brunswick): You’ll find swimming, hiking, and kayaking at this coastal national park. And don’t overlook biking in the hills east of the park, or the outdoors center at Cape Enrage. See “Fundy National Park” in chapter 5. W Cycling Prince Edward Island: This province sometimes seems like it was created specifically for bike touring. Villages are reasonably spaced apart, hills are virtually nonexistent, the coastal roads are picturesque in the extreme, and an island-wide bike path offers detours through marshes and quiet woodlands. See “The Great Outdoors” in chapter 6. COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL THE best SPOTS FOR OBSERVING NATURE W Digby Neck (Nova Scotia): Choose from among the whale-watching outfitters located along this narrow peninsula of remote fishing villages.

ZooKeys 897: 49–66. https:// doi.org/10.3897/zookeys.897.46344 Abstract The Haliplidae, Gyrinidae, and Dytiscidae (Coleoptera) of Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia, Canada were surveyed during the years 2006–2007. A total of 2027 individuals from 85 species was collected from 94 different localities, which brings to 87 the number of species recorded for this locality. Among these, Heterosternuta allegheniana (Matta & Wolfe), H. wickhami (Zaitzev), Hydroporus appalachius Sherman, H. gossei Larson & Roughley, H. nigellus Mannerheim, H. puberulus LeConte, Ilybius picipes (Kirby), and I. wasastjernae (C.R. Sahlberg) are reported for the first time in Nova Scotia. The Nearctic component of the fauna is made up of 71 species (81.6%), the Holarctic component of 16 species (18.4%). Most species are characteristic of both the Boreal and Atlantic Maritime Ecozones and have a transcontinental distribution but 19 species (21.8%), which are generally recognized as species with eastern affinities.
