As much as we are hoping to sing "Goodbye Earl", we are watching the path of Hurricane Earl quite closely. For the latest on Earl's path and what to do in case of a hurricane, here are a couple of links: Canadian Hurricane Centre United States National Hurricane Centre Tips on how to prepare for a hurricane For the latest weather, please visit Environment Canada's site. which will also have details of any weather watches or warnings in effect.
The ocean is beautiful and undoubtedly awe-inspiring during inclement weather. But she is also extremely dangerous. We would ask that if you must venture out to the shore line during rough seas that you maintain a safe distance. Don't stand too close as rogue waves have been known to sweep people off into the water during storms.

That Kejimkujik National Park and National Historic Site of Canada has just been declared a Dark Sky Preserve? The Royal Astronomical Society of Canada awards this designation to areas in which no artificial lighting is visible and "active measures are in place to educate and promote the reduction of light pollution to the public and nearby municipalities. Sky glow from beyond the borders of the Preserve will be of comparable intensity, or less, to that of natural sky glow". www.rasc.ca.
