Tourism Minister Matthew MacKay is urging Islanders to welcome tourists to the province as stories spread of unwelcoming behaviour by some. But just as hope of some kind of tourism season was raised, stories appeared in the national media about vehicles with out-of-province plates being vandalized. Two weeks ago a Salvation Army pastor with Nova Scotia plates on her vehicle had a nasty note placed on her windshield. I just urge all Islanders to please support your tourism sector," said MacKay. MacKay said whether the tourism sector opens or not there will certainly be more cases of COVID-19 on the Island.
