Man dies after bystanders bring him and injured woman ashore at N.S. beach

A man who was struggling in the waters off a beach in northeastern Nova Scotia died, and a woman who tried to save him was hospitalized after bystanders brought them both to shore. 

According to RCMP, the incident occurred on Saturday afternoon at Melmerby beach, a provincial park about 60 kilometres west of Antigonish.

Officers arrived on the scene and were informed that a woman had been injured while attempting to rescue the man from the water, and bystanders assisted in bringing them both to shore and administering first aid.

The 57-year-old Halifax man was taken to the hospital and pronounced dead. 

The 64-year-old Halifax woman, who police described as having serious injuries, was also transported to the hospital.

Moving on from “The Rock”

The little ferry from Newfoundland to Nova Scotia

Monday morning dawned with still more rain and low cloud so Signal Hill was going to be missed!  We got on the road after a leisurely breakfast, towards Argentia and the ferry port.  An interesting place Argentia which we should tell you about another time!  We arrived at the terminal around 1.00 pm and whilst it was a little brighter and less rain, the wind was howling.  The check in staff who have to measure the length of the vehicles were having difficulty keeping their hard hats on!  But they were all cheerful, smiling and welcoming!  We had a long wait as the ferry was not due to depart until 5.00 pm, but that was fine.  

We had booked a cabin for this overnight 16 hour trip so that we could hopefully get some sleep, and were very pleasantly surprised about how roomy it was en suite.  We settled in and had a very nice dinner in the buffet rather than the a la carte restaurant which was also available.  

Tuesday morning arrived in North Sydney and no improvement in the weather so we drove on as far as Baddeck where things were looking much brighter.  Then on again across the Canso Causeway to leave Cape Breton Island and travel to the Northumberland Shore and Antigonish for a stop at Camp Walmart! We now had lovely sunshine and blue skies, such a relief after all the rain!

Wednesday morning we walked the 4.8km trail along the inlet and wetlands at the edge of the town.  This is also a bird sanctuary and we saw a variety of birds enjoying it all including a bald eagle!  Then it was back on the road to travel North up the coastline towards Cape George, stopping on the way at Mahoneys Beach, where we walked along feeling the sand between our toes, admiring all the lovely rounded stones before dipping our toes in the surprisingly warm sea.  Cape George was our lunchtime stop.  We strolled up to see the lighthouse (yes another one!) and enjoy the views over to Cape Breton. Driving on again, towards Little Harbour and the lovely beach at Melmerby, where we again walked in the sand and found the water a little cooler!

We then made the mistake of continuing on along the coastal route to Pictou Landing and on to Trenton and New Glasgow.  The road was terrible, and we couldn’t see any sign of the sea that we were so close to! From New Glasgow we got back on the Main Trans Canada Highway back to Antigonish for the night. The weather was still lovely with temperatures in the mid 20s even at 7.30 pm!

N.S. provincial parks report another record-breaking season for camping

Nova Scotia has had another record-breaking year for the number of campers to its provincial parks.

The province says its camping parks hosted 99,304 paid overnight stays this year -- an increase of nine per cent from 2021.

The number of people who visited the province’s 20 camping and 111 day-use parks is also up, by about 200,000 from last year, for a total of about 1.5 million people.

In terms of visitor numbers, 63 per cent of this year’s visitors were from Nova Scotia, 27 per cent came from other parts of Canada, and 10 per cent came from other countries.

"Nova Scotia has a world-class provincial parks system that continues to be discovered by our residents and visitors from around the globe," said Nova Scotia Natural Resources and Renewables Minister Tory Rushton in a Friday press release. "It's wonderful to see yet another record-breaking year for our parks and that numbers were up despite park closures and cancelled reservations due to hurricane Fiona."

The province says department staff continue to clean up parks hit hard by Fiona.

It also says people should avoid the following parks until cleanup is complete:

Mira River

Amherst Shore

Caribou-Munroes Island

Five Islands

Arisaig

Rushtons Beach

Melmerby Beach

Salt Springs

While park facilities closed for the season on Oct.10, the province says people can still use parks for activities like walking, snowshoeing and cross-country skiing during the off-season.

Campsite bookings for next year are expected to open in early April 2023.
