A POSTCARD FROM SABLE ISLAND

Actually there will be no postcards from the latest protected National Park of Canada. 1 and a half hours by plane off the coast of Nova Scotia lies this majestic beauty. 90 km of shoreline it is really a large sand dune. Home to over 500 wild horses who may have landed there after a ship wreck or two which occurred over the centuries off the shore of Sable Island. Seals make their home there too. The only visitors allowed must be invited like scientists. A wonderful clip last night on CTV-W5- November 15, 2014 showed a wonderful glimpse of this island. Due to the oil in the Atlantic, there are several oil rigs that can be seen which may be the greatest threat to the island. No one swims in the water due to the abundance of sharks surrounding it. To have such a beautiful place that belongs to Canada makes one proud. So no postcards but wouldn't one be nice to see the documentary. Go online to CTV news and follow the links. Worth watching- what of Canada's treasures.
