Those who make a living at sea will be remembered Sunday as the province observes Mariner’s Day and Seaman’s Memorial Day. Fisheries Minister and MLA for Shelburne, Sterling Belliveau, says it’s a day to pay tribute to all men and women who contribute to the economic prosperity of the province and those lost their lives in the process. A sunset ceremony will take place at the Fishermen’s Monument in Eastern Passage. Meanwhile, a slo-pitch tournament is also planned in the Municipality of Barrington in memory of Katlin Nickerson, captain of the ill-fated Miss Ally. The money raised will go toward a memorial bursary. In April, the Mariner’s Day Act was passed to observe the second Sunday in August as Mariner’s Day.
