Car Shipping Cape Breton, Auto Transport Nova Scotia Canada
Cape Breton Island is an area that draws its name from Scottish Gaelic and Mikmaq influences. Cape Breton Island as a whole is nearly 20% of Nova Scotia. Although the island is separated from the province the Canso Causeway connects the island and its many roads together. One of the largest saltwater lakes in the world otherwise known as the arm of gold or Bras D’or can be found in the center of this island creating a natural landmark that many people visit each year. There are around 132,000 people living on the island of Cape Breton which stands as 15% of the population of Nova Scotia. Cape Breton is starting to experience a bit of a population decline and part of this is because of the industry which has taken a respectable hit recently . With the decline of the steel industry in this area, Nova Scotia has seen a few less residents making their way to live on the island. The island also has an extensive history of coal mining which still continues to this day. The island also has an extensive reserve population with five different groups of aboriginals living in the area.
Most of the economy in this area is controlled by some of the largest private employers of coal mining in Canada. The Sydney coalfields for example remains one of the largest coalfields and private employers in the country. The Iverness coalfield is located on the western part of the island up the Gulf of the St. Lawrence and it remains a little bit smaller but also quite a significant employer for the island.
City remains one of the largest ports in the area and has been a natural harbor as well as the largest commercial center for the industries in this area. A large number of goods and exports pass through this area every single day and the sheltered harbor also remains a very big aspect of the local economy.
Port Hawkesbury is another deepwater harbor that has risen to popularity over the past few years and Glace Bay is another population that is continuing to grow as the second largest population in Cape Breton. The Sydney and Louisburg Railway is one of the main transportation hubs for goods from either port as well. There is also a major fishing port in the Glace bay area.
