Coastal areas across the province taking special precautions for Hurricane Fiona


Some municipalities in the province are keeping a close eye on the coast as Hurricane Fiona nears. "We've set up two safe buildings," he said. The two buildings designated as safe locations are the Chedabucto Lifestyle Complex and the Canso/Hazel Hill fire station. Will Balser, coastal adaptation co-ordinator for the Ecology Action Centre, says shoreline infrastructure, roads, causeways, dikes, retaining walls and boardwalks are all at a significant risk from wave action and erosion. Acadia Centre in Lower Sackville, St. Margaret's Centre in Upper Tantallon as well as Musquodoboit Harbour Community Centre in Musquodoboit Harbour are serving as evacuation centres.
