Cape Breton Miner’s Museum
Across Canada, coal is being used less and less as a source of energy, but for generations, it was a big part of people’s lives, and an industry which employed thousands.
That was especially the case on the island of Cape Breton in Nova Scotia, which is why the Cape Breton Miner’s Museum, which was built in 1967 above a former coal mine, continues to celebrate that tradition today. In Glace Bay, Nova Scotia, Jennie Bovard got a tour.
Earliest Canadian Maritime-built Car featured at Toronto Autoshow!
Curator Alex Gates discusses the Canadian Automotive Museum's 1910 McKay on display at the 2017 Canadian International Auto Show in Toronto.
The McKay was the only car to be commercially produced in Nova Scotia before the arrival of the Volvo in 1963. In 1908 Jack and Dan McKay rented space in the Nova Scotia Carriage Company in Kentville, Nova Scotia to produce automobiles. The car was fashioned after the American Penn automobile with bodies produced locally and then fitted with imported Buda engines and American drivetrains. To demonstrate the reliability of the cars, one was driven to Regina, Saskatchewan in 1911 – a trip of 2600 miles. Investors relocated the factory to Amherst, Nova Scotia in 1912, but only an estimated 125 McKays were produced before the company’s closure in 1914. The McKay brothers, seeking notoriety for their automobile attempted to be the first to have a car arrive on Prince Edward Island after an 8-year ban on automobiles on the island was lifted on July 15, 1913. Two McKays were sent to be the first cars on the island, but were beaten out by a McLaughlin-Buick by a few hours.
This particular vehicle was owned by several American collectors after the Second World War. Owing to a lack of historic photographs during its restoration, the car was altered from a touring body to a speedster style body. The McKay was brought back to Canada by the Craven Foundation in Toronto during the early 1970s and was acquired by the Canadian Automotive Museum in 1986. Only one other example of a McKay survives, which is displayed in the Nova Scotia Museum of Industry in Stellarton, Nova Scotia.

14 year old Torch Relay Student from Nova Scotia wants to go that extra mile by becoming a live organ donor
Ashley Griffin, Susie Billington & Courtney Greencorn
Amazing story of Courtney Greencorn
On September 25, 2007 the SOS4000 road team and some Student Torch Champions were a given a memorable royal sendoff at Queens Park by Ontarios new Lieutenant Governor David Onley.
On October 1, 2007, in St. Johns Newfoundland, the first Student Torch Champion Samantha Elton Taite proudly carried the Torch of Life and kicked off an eight month campaign across Canada.
Since then Students have passionately carried the Torch to inspire our nation about the importance of organ and tissue donation and to help save over 4000 Canadians that desperately need these precious gifts. One particular Student that is anxiously waiting to carry the Torch wants to go that extra mile and become a live organ donor. Her name is Courtney Greencorn and she is one of Trenton Nova Scotias Torch Champion(s).
On October 17, Ashley, Courtney & Susie will receive the Torch at the Museum of Industry in Stellarton. Canada has one of the lowest rates of organ donations in the world, maybe one person can inspire an entire nation.
On October 19, Courtney brought her quest to change the legal age of becoming a live organ donor from 18 to 16 to Nova Scotia Legislative building.
