About Port Hawkesbury
The town
Port Hawkesbury is a town of about 3,210 people in 2021 (8.1 km²) on the Cape Breton side of the Strait of Canso. First called Ship Harbour, it grew into a bulk-shipping port after the Canso Causeway sheltered its deep-water harbour; heavy industry such as the pulp mill followed, much of it in neighbouring Point Tupper. It is a service centre for western Cape Breton, with a public library, the Strait Area Pool, a civic centre and the Nova Scotia Community College's Strait Area Campus, home of the Nautical Institute. The Eastern District Planning Commission, based in town, handles planning, subdivision and building inspection for the town and the counties of Inverness and Richmond. The nearest hospital is Strait Richmond in Evanston, which Nova Scotia Health lists with a 24-hour emergency department.
Around it
Rural land around town is mainly in the Municipality of the County of Inverness, while the Point Tupper Heavy Industrial Park, on an ice-free deep-water harbour, is in the Municipality of the County of Richmond. The town has about 10 km of trails through mixed forest along brooks. The Celtic Shores Coastal Trail starts beside the Canso Canal in Port Hastings and follows a former rail bed 92 km to Inverness; it is open to hikers, cyclists, riders, ATVs and snowmobiles. From Halifax it is about 234 km to the Canso Causeway by Highways 102 and 104. The nearest airport with scheduled flights is JA Douglas McCurdy Sydney Airport, with Air Canada flights to Toronto and Montreal.
