Accommodations in Cape Breton are feeling the effects of tighter pandemic restrictions in other parts of the province.
Nova Scotians are being asked to avoid non-essential travel to and from the Halifax Regional Municipality and parts of Hants and Lunenburg counties after a growing number of COVID-19 cases.
For some year-round accommodations along Cape Breton s Cabot Trail, the changes introduced last week have resulted in a rash of cancellations. We were just getting really excited actually, the snow finally hit . and then boom, these new restrictions, said Bricin Lyons, co-owner of the Highlands Hostel in Cape North.
