The Cape Breton Regional Chamber of Commerce, the Cape Breton Partnership, Scotia Rail Development Society, Port of Sydney, J.A. Douglas McCurdy Sydney Airport, and Cape Breton University on May 6th hosted an event at the Port of Sydney for an evening of discussing how transportation costs impact the cost of living, job creation, well-being of residents, and overall economic growth in Unama’ki – Cape Breton.
