Everything to know about the April 8 eclipse in Atlantic Canada | SaltWire #eclipse #atlanticcanadaMEAT COVE, N.S. — At Cape Breton’s northernmost tip, the approaching solar eclipse has been all the talk for months.
Nova Scotia won’t be in that path, except for one small area: the very northern tip of Cape Breton, including Meat Cove. She said the community has been preparing for an influx of visitors. The Meat Cove Community Centre will be open that day for refreshments and public washrooms. Parks Canada will also host a hike up the mountain overlooking the community, for the chance at a better view of the eclipse.“We’re hearing that a lot of people are going to be up here,” said Hines.
There will also be a big screen where the eclipse’s movement will be projected, as well as a limited supply of ISO-approved viewing glasses to share. Williams recommends people bring their own if possible, as well as to dress for the weather.“It’s not something you see every day, so people are kind of enthralled with it,” he said, adding the eclipse will be a great learning opportunity for visitors.
He said some factors could interfere with viewing in northern Cape Breton. One is the possibility of changing weather and adjusting to it. The area’s lack of roads could disrupt viewers from driving to a clearer viewing area in time.
