A family living in Toronto with Maritime roots are the new owners of six historic buildings in Peggys Cove, N.S.
Eleanor McCain, daughter of one of the founders of the McCain french fry empire, and Paul Hansen say they re thrilled to start restoring the buildings, which include businesses, cottages and a former schoolhouse.
The properties were previously owned by members of the Beales family, who have deep roots in the community.
