Cape Breton tourism operators worried after cruise ship season cancelled
Tourism operators in Cape Breton are becoming increasingly worried about keeping their doors open now that the upcoming cruise ship season has been cancelled for a second straight year. Last week, the federal government announced no cruise ships would be allowed in Canadian waters in 2021.

The province will make improvements at an intersection in Gardiner Mines, N.S., that has been the scene of numerous motor vehicle crashes.
The intersection connects Seaside Drive and Gardiner Road. Traffic is especially heavy in the summer as people use Gardiner Road to reach the beach in Dominion.
The changes have been announced as part of the province s five-year highway improvement plan.
The Department of Transportation Infrastructure Renewal said the project will improve safety by adding a dedicated right-turn lane onto Gardiner Road from Trunk 28, which brings traffic from New Waterford.
