Tourism operators in Digby are hoping the Princess of Acadia
ferry will be back in service in time for the Canada Day long weekend. The ferry is docked for repairs after a propeller
hit some fishing gear on its reroute from Digby to Saint John, New
Brunswick. The ferry is expected to be back in service later this week. The governments of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia have
promised $6-million in subsidies to keep the service going until 2014. Bay Ferries hopes to resume the Digby-Saint John service on
Thursday, but the company is urging passengers to check for updates.
