Inverness Co. votes to put Port Hawkesbury in CBREN

Inverness Co. is the latest member of the Cape Breton Regional Enterprise Network to vote in favour of adding two new members.

Inverness Municipal Council voted to add the Town of Port Hawkesbury and Wagmatcook First Nation to the group at Thursday’s Regular Council Meeting.

Afterwards, Warden Betty Ann MacQuarrie told The Hawk, they’re trying to build an island wide network.

“We’re getting closer to being an island wide REN,” she says.

MacQuarrie says she’d be happy to see the network expand to the eastern mainland as well.

However, MacQuarrie says one county, Richmond Co., has given notice to leave the group at the end of the year.

  • Kelly MacMillan lives in Port Hawkesbury with her husband and son. She has been part of the team at 101.5 The Hawk for more than 25 years, sharing stories from around the region. You can join her weekdays from 10am until 2pm.
