SYDNEY, N.S. A song created as a class project by music students in Cape Breton carries a message of hope during these uncertain times. With local radio play and a new music video, there s hope it will become a pandemic anthem. The tune, called We ll Be Together Again, is self-explanatory during these current lockdown restrictions in Nova Scotia. It s a feel-good song that s meant to inspire hope for people, says Nik MacDonald, a music arts student at the Nova Scotia Community College s Marconi campus. The song was written and the music video shot earlier in the pandemic. Now, it s being released during this latest lockdown, at a time when people could use the musical lift more than the students anticipated when they started the class project.
Cape Breton’s Island Employment says the region’s construction industry is expected to heat up over the next few years.
Engagement specialist Máire Neville tells the CBC projects such as the new Nova Scotia Community College Marconi campus and the redevelopment of hospitals within the municipality means there will be a huge amount of construction work coming.
She says anyone interested in the trades in any way should reach out to Island Employment, who can help workers develop the necessary skills for the coming construction boom. Currently On-Air:
