Sutherlands River and Membertou Trade Convention Centre

Membertou Trade Convention Centre: On the Sutherlands River section alone, 175 motor vehicle accidents and 14 deaths have been recorded since 2009, according to The Chronicle Herald. Some of the scenes I’ve seen, said Muirhead, pausing mid-speech. For the past 35 years, the Pictou County paramedic has seen tragedy all along that artery — from Sutherlands River to the Canso Causeway — he simply cannot overcome. It just hard to unsee what I’ve seen. On Saturday afternoon, Muirhead faced down a stage full of Liberal MLAs at the Membertou Trade and Convention Centre, asking the government to finally commit to making that busy artery a four-lane highway. I’ll never be fixed. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
