A Cape Breton man says erosion has claimed 30 or more metres of his property along the Lake O Law brook, and he believes the province is responsible.
Francis Doyle of Margaree Valley claims the government redirected the brook s flow closer to his property during improvements to the Cabot Trail around the 1950s.
The 57-year-old purchased the Egypt Road home in 2002 from his brother-in-law, but said the property has been in his family since he was born. Over time it just keeps eroding with the nasty weather, he said.
