Provincial Parks to Reopen

All provincial parks, except one, will reopen at 9 a.m., Tuesday, Aug. 30. The parks closed on Sunday, Aug. 28, as a precaution in advance of severe weather conditions expected from Tropical Storm Irene. Department of Natural Resources staff found little damage to provincial parks.

Beaver Mountain Provincial Park, a day-use facility in Antigonish County, remains closed until a power line is repaired. An update on the park's status will be posted on the provincial parks website, www.novascotiaparks.ca .
