GLACE BAY, N.S. -- The Cape Breton Miners Museum is currently closed, the doors locked with a lot of uncertainty surrounding when they might open for the season. The popular project gives a hands-on opportunity to share in Cape Breton's rich coal mining history. Its new state-of-the-art virtual mine simulator has officials at museum hoping it will attract new visitors - which they desperately need - when restrictions allow. "We did absolutely no business last year, we were down 95 per cent. That's one year, and we weathered it, but we can't weather another year lik that," says executive director Mary Pat Mombourquette.
