Grand Slam of Curling business impact significant despite smaller crowds
by John Gillis
The business impact on
the Strait region from the
Grand Slam of Curling was
still significant, despite the
drop in attendance at the
December event.
“This year the crowds
were down for World
Curling, and we knew that
would happen because we
had it twice in one year.
Still, it does look like we’ve
made a substantial profit
on the tournament. I hear
the business people on the
street say one or two million
dollars of new business
came to towns. Motels and
bed and breakfasts were
all full, restaurants were
busy, and the Civic Centre
was busy. Everybody was
a winner,” Mayor Billy Joe
MacLean told reporters last
week.
Shawn Boudreau,
room revenue manager
of the Maritime Inn in
Port Hawkesbury, said the
Grand Slam of Curling
event continues to make
quite an impact on the
local hospitality industry.
“I know it really made our
month of December because
it’s usually a slower month.
It’s hard to say but I would
estimate we had 300 room
rentals or perhaps more
due to it, and we certainly

A water quality
workshop led by two
representatives from the
Nova Scotia Department of
Environment and Labour
was held Saturday afternoon
at the Mabou Volunteer Fire
Hall.
Topics of discussion
included the construction
and maintenance of private
wells and septic systems
and the province’s role with
respect to the local sewage
treatment plant.
“We had a very good
turnout with about twenty
people in attendance.
Mike Routledge and
Linda Rafuse-McCarthy,
inspectors with the NS
Department of Environment
and Labour, made
presentations and provided
some great examples of
what and what not to do
regarding private wells and
septic systems. They also
spoke about a new general
water strategy being
developed by the province
which covers things like
the drinking water strategy
and the water resource
management strategy.
They presented about two
hours worth of information.
There was good dialogue
with question and answer
opportunities throughout
the afternoon, and people
spoke not only from
personal experience but with
concern from a community
point of view,” said Shauna
Barrington, coordinator for
Mabou Harbour Watershed
Stewardship Planning.
Barrington said the
inspectors also advised the
public of the importance of
having private wells tested
for bacteria, especially
since poor water quality
can pose a health risk to
children who are immunocompromised.
The
inspectors also provided an
update on a long-term plan
by the federal government
to bring sewage treatment
plants in Canada up to
standard. Inverness County
Public Works director and
engineer Joe O’Connor
also attended the session
and reiterated that the
Mabou sewage treatment
plant is on a priority list for
replacement.
