RCMP: Traffic Flow Biggest Challenge For Bluenose II Launch

Emergency responders will focus on safety as they iron out logistics leading up to this weekend's Bluenose II relaunch celebration in Lunenburg. Thousands of people are expected to attend the historic relaunch of Nova Scotia's sailing ambassador on Saturday. RCMP are working to manage traffic and create emergency routes for paramedics and local fire crews should a situation arise during the day-long celebration. Sergeant Derek Smith says the large influx of traffic will be their biggest challenge.



Smith says additional police officers from Halifax and the South Shore are being called in to work the event. Parking and shuttle service will be available at designated parking areas around Lunenburg.
