  • Community Profile
    COMMUNITY PROFILE The community of Glace Bay can be found hugging the eastern coastline of Cape Breton Island. The island is located on the north eastern tip of Nova Scotia and joined to the mainland by a rock-filled causeway. Alexander Graham Bell, who spent many years living in Cape Breton, once said, " I have seen the Canadian and American Rockies, the Andes, the Alps and the Highlands of Scotland, but for simple beauty, Cape Breton out rivals them all." Bell's sentiment has recently been echoed by a number of travel writers who have extolled Cape Breton not only for its unsurpassed physical beauty but also for the friendliness and generosity of its people. Travel and Leisure Magazine has ranked Cape Breton as the number one (1) island to visit in the continental US and Canada. National Geographic has described Cape Breton as "the most scenic island in the world" and has called it one of the "50 places of a lifetime" to visit. During the 2016 American election campaign the island garnered worldwide attention when a local radio DJ's tongue-in- cheek website suggested Cape Breton as a place for Americans to move if Trump becomes President. The so-called "Trump Bump" was a boom for local tourism. Glace Bay was incorporated as a town in 1901. In 1995, its municipal government was dissolved and Glace Bay joined six (6) other municipalities and the County of Cape Breton to form a larger municipal unit known as the Cape Breton Regional Municipality (CBRM). The CBRM covers 2,470 square kilometers and is home to approximately 94,000 residents.

  • Mayor Cecil Clarke and CBRM City Council Letter
    Recipient: Mayor Cecil Clarke and CBRM City Council Letter: Greetings, In the past 5 years the HAT has put on hundreds of shows and has revitalized the downtown core. It has mentorship programs for young actors and adults alike. It has become a second family for the children and parents alike of hundreds of families across the CBRM. CBRM council voted to put the CBRM's new firestation across the street from the Highland Arts Theatre, with absolutely NO consultation with the public, no transparency whatsoever. Those of you who have been to a live theatre performance understand just how damaging to the entire experience having a constant barrage of loud firetruck sirens and horns, or even one such interruption at precisely the wrong moment in a show, can be. We have spoken to City Council and they are adamant about not revisiting and changing that decision despite the very real danger of it putting the HAT out of business. They need to be made to understand that they are endangering the future of the youth of this community for whom the HAT has become a vital resource to help them develop theatrical and crucial life skills, and that the people of the CBRM will not stand for this! Council needs to find a better location for the firestation that does NOT put live theatre at risk. Signatures Name Location Date James Munroe Sydney, Canada 2020-03-02 Grace Campbell Sydney, Canada 2020-03-02 Andre Desjardins Eskasoni, Canada 2020-03-02 Josh Haq Sydney, Canada 2020-03-02 Ali MacDougall Sydney, Canada 2020-03-02 WILLIAM PALANDER Sydney, Canada 2020-03-02

  • Theatre Nova Scotia 2021
    THEATRE NOVA SCOTIA 2021 20 21 Welcome to the Theatre Nova Scotia annual Robert Merritt Awards celebration. Traditionally we would be honouring more than 50 productions, and the hundreds of performers, directors, designers, composers, playwrights and technician engaged by our professional companies across the province. As we contemplated a different kind of event this year, the reasons to bring this celebration to you tonight were clear—to come together and to highlight the incredible things you have been doing during a unique and intense time. Tonight’s event showcases your talents, your projects, your ingenuity, your discussions, your inspirations and your triumphs. In working to prepare this production, Theatre Nova Scotia has only been able to air a snapshot of the artistic offerings and musings of the past year. It is a clear indication that theatres have not really been dark, but full of creativity, learning and visioning for the future. The Merritt Awards take place in late March to complement World Theatre Day on March 27th. Theatre Nova Scotia is proud to help champion our provincial contribution to the craft of theatre. In the fall we saw and heard amazing messages of the importance of theatre from many Nova Scotians. The Canadian World Theatre Day video shares more wonderful stories of the power of this medium. https://bit.ly/31ojnZR Tonight marks the last Merritt event in which I will participate as Executive Director of Theatre Nova Scotia. I am uniquely pleased this is a celebration, an extravaganza of talent and tenacity, of strength and adaptability and a time to find smiles amidst challenging times.
