Diaries being digitized

LOUISBOURG - The Cape Breton Regional Library has begun digitizing the diaries of Melvin S. Huntington, which were donated to the W.W. Lewis Memorial Library in Louisbourg.

The diaries span the late 1800s to 1961 and provide a view of life in Louisbour, including the shipping industry, weather, world news, and events in local people’s lives. The library has been transcribing these diaries to make them available online to a wider audience. This is a work in progress, with many now completed and available.

Program available

GLACE BAY - The Senior Contact Program is designed for older individuals who are experiencing feelings of loneliness and/or isolation.

Volunteers contact seniors on a weekly basis to provide regular telephone calls and a listening ear to those who have few social contacts.

This program provides seniors who are unable or unwilling to get out to activities into the community with a form of socialization and gives them a sense of community.

If you know anyone who would benefit from receiving regular telephone calls through this program, please contact Town House at 902-849-2449.
