Hello everyone,

Last Thursday I participated in a protest, in Halifax, regarding the cut of
the Cat ferry services.

Go to ;
http://www.novanewsnow.com/article-428627-VIDEO-Rally-held-in-Halifax-to-sav
e-Cat-ferry-for-one-more-year.html

for more information.

It is still a no but the Premier is not around and they might change their
mind in the future but for now it is a NO.

Pauline

Thanks for the news Brian

And what a shame!  

We were hoping to be able take that ferry if not next summer, the one the
year after.  Hopefully there will be a rebound.
