Fortress Louisbourg Hurricane Aftermath
The following update on the situation at the Fortress of Louisbourg was given to me by Parks Canada at 11:13am this morning:
Hello/Bonjour:
Parks Canada would like to advise that, following Hurricane Earl, power has not yet been restored at the Fortress of Louisbourg National Historic Site. As a result, there is a reduction in services at the site on Tuesday, September 07. The Fortress of Louisbourg is open and visitors are welcome to tour the grounds, the Chapel and the Museum. The restaurants are not open. Given this reduction in service, the entry fee will be waived today. Parks Canada will continue to keep you updated, and thanks you for your understanding and co-operation.
Parcs Canada avise qu’à la suite de l’ouragan Earl, il y a une panne d’électricité au lieu historique de la forteresse-de Louisbourg. Pour aujourd’hui, le mardi 7 septembre, il y aura une réduction de services au lieu historique. La forteresse est ouverte. On invite les visiteurs à venir se promener sur le site; la chapelle et le musée sont aussi ouverts. Les restaurants sont fermés. L'entrée est gratuite. Parcs Canada émettra régulièrement des mises à jour. Nous vous remercions de votre compréhension et coopération.
