Most Maritimers will agree it was a tough winter!
Business owners too have found it difficult with several closing up shop for good because of weeks of lost revenue.
One area where businesses appear to have weathered the winter has been Nova Scotia’s South Shore.
Bridgewater and Area Chamber of Commerce Manager Dan Hennessey says luck, persistence and stubborness have prevailed.
He says: “We’re a hardy bunch here on the South Shore for the most part. We grumble and gripe at what Mother Nature throws at us. But, we persevere.”
Moncton, which received a record amount of snow this past winter, was one city that saw numerous small businesses along Main Street fold as their bottom lines crumbled.
