🍁 Community Spotlight: Wentworth & Westchester, Part 1

The Intercolonial Railway climbed through the Wentworth Valley in 1872. By the 1930s, skiers were riding special trains from Halifax and Truro, because no road reached the valley in winter. In 1957, Truro volunteers built the first ski tow in Atlantic Canada here, and the Wilson family’s lodge and lifts grew into Ski Wentworth, Nova Scotia’s largest ski hill.

The Trans-Canada later ran right through the valley and over Folly Mountain, and by the 1990s crashes had given it a grim nickname: the Valley of Death. In 1997 the Cobequid Pass opened over Westchester Mountain and the traffic moved away. The valley turned that quiet into its draw: skiing, biking, hiking and some of the best fall colour in Nova Scotia.

Stay tuned for Part 2: life in the valley today.

🌊 Community Spotlight: Tatamagouche, Part 1

Tatamagouche takes its name from the Mi’kmaw word for “meeting of the waters,” where the French and Waugh rivers meet the bay. Shipyards thrived here through the 1800s, the railway arrived in 1887, and the Tatamagouche Creamery opened in 1925.

The village has seen its share of endings. Its Acadian settlement was burned in 1755. Rail service stopped in 1986, and the creamery closed in 1992. Each time, Tatamagouche found a new beginning. The old station is now the Train Station Inn, where guests sleep in cabooses and boxcars, and the creamery is Creamery Square, home to the heritage centre and the farmers’ market.

☮️ Community Spotlight: Pugwash, Part 1

In July 1957, Pugwash-born industrialist Cyrus Eaton invited 22 scientists from 10 countries, from both sides of the Cold War, to Thinkers’ Lodge to confront the danger of nuclear weapons. The Pugwash Conferences went on to share the 1995 Nobel Peace Prize, and the lodge is now a National Historic Site. Beneath the village, a salt mine has been working since 1959.

Pugwash also knows hardship. Seven devastating fires struck between 1877 and 1929. The worst, in 1898, left 1,200 people homeless. Each time, the village rebuilt. Today its street signs are in English and Gaelic, and the Gathering of the Clans fills the waterfront every July 1.

🫐 Community Spotlight: Oxford, Part 1

In the late 1950s, local man John Bragg had students hand-picking wild blueberries on his family’s land. By 1968 he’d opened a processing plant, and today Oxford Frozen Foods ships wild blueberries around the world. That’s why Oxford is the Wild Blueberry Capital of Canada.

Then in 2018 the ground gave way. A sinkhole swallowed the Lions Club park and closed the town’s only community hall. Oxford didn’t give up. The region rallied behind a $24.5 million net-zero community centre, the eastlink Wild Blueberry Centre, now open.

🏘️ Community Spotlight: Springhill, Part 1

Coal built Springhill, and coal nearly broke it. Three mine disasters (1891, 1956 and 1958) and a 1957 fire that levelled most of downtown would have finished many towns. Springhill rebuilt.

Even more remarkable: the flooded mines that closed the industry now heat local businesses, the community centre arena and part of the NSCC campus with warm mine water. It’s a made-in-Springhill idea that researchers across the province are now studying.

Stay tuned for Part 2, what it’s like to live in Springhill today.
