What I'm seeing here is so sad. Definitely not the Peggy's Cove of 40 years ago...and before. I get there's always development but I haven't seen any recent videos or photos of the area. The development is so ridiculous. Can people not leave things alone? Just looks like monetary greed. I feel sorry for the local communities.
I'm of the same mind. Although I can't criticize the deck and new sidewalk. Too many people were getting hurt, and it wasn't really too safe walking alongside the road.
It's obvious ... the solutions are always the same, rules and more rules, laws and more laws then add some bylaws with more bylaws and a pinch of articles to the laws and bylaws.
this is because they can profit from all Canadian foreign tourists or new residents visiting this due to Swiss 111. All about money . They should keep it original and unique. Nobody should change that area, that is my opinon
been a minute since I been there (45 min drive for me) ....But watching this video and seeing the changes I have mixed feeling both sad and happy. Overall I think its good for the economy and in reality in RL nothing stays the same forever and we need to change with the times
It seems to me that if someone has been established and the direction is agreed to change in future why couldn’t an existing use be on expiry and allow a person some leniency. Seems the world could do with a little more consideration sometimes for others. We humans are temporary so maybe we can adopt a more compassionate approach if and when appropriate.
Timmies, Timmies, Timmies, how of those will be opened on that main drag going in there? I like peggys but if it becomes another capitolist trap I'll go somewhere else. There's other lighthouses without the crowds. The walkway they built is a good thing for safety but outside of that, they've been doing fine all this time.
Beware the change and huge corp wiht deep pockets. Lill guy is always crushed by them. I saw it in its prime beauty in September 1973 wrapped in shawl of cristalline fog with the sun piercing it by a couple of spots.
As a tourist from Ontario, I was really disappointed when I visited Peggy’s Cove (years ago)as there were few amenities. It was eminently forgettable. Nova Scotia is one of my favourite vacation destinations and I hope to visit once more before travelling is no longer an option for me.
Hi Kathleen. I started working at The Cove back in 1998. I was one of those people who kept visitors from ending up in the ocean. From 2000-2015, I drove & guided bus tours to the place. My best friend's family business is there. So, yeah, I know the place pretty well...lol. I've heard your complaint before and what I always answered with is this: "First and foremost, Peggy's Cove is a working fishing village with a population of less than 40 full-time residents." I've always been kinda saddened when people can't appreciate just being there. But of course, we're bound to progress aren't we? The battle has always been between preserving the authenticity of the village, the heritage of Nova Scotia, and accommodating the tourists, bringing in dollars, and of course, making it safer. I'm not against fixing the place up, but i dread the idea of Peggy's Cove becoming a place to shop. Glad they got more washrooms in...lol
I’m from Ontario. Seeing Peggy’s Cove for the first time was magical. I couldn’t believe I was really there. Other than for accessibility I don’t think it needs amenities. I’m still living in Halifax 30 years later and will visit Peggy’s Cove again this summer.❤️
@@nancylandon6295 I’m glad it was magical for you. I’d been looking forward to seeing Peggy’s Cove as well but it just didn’t live up to my expectations. Maybe my expectations were unrealistic 🤷♀. We visited all the Atlantic provinces last summer and had a wonderful trip. We’re in our mid 70’s and wanted to visit Newfoundland before we’re too old to travel. Regards K.
If you actually go through and read the bylaws, this didn’t really open up anything for a bunch of new developers. The spots of land that are now commercial are already owned, and the owner had been trying to put in a few businesses already. As far as building a tim horton’s or whatnot, that’s not likely as anything in the cove has to comply with a strict architectural standard to preserve the authenticity and look of the fishing village

I am surprised a Toronto developer has not come in and put up a 50 storey condo.
so basically they opened it for rich developers
The locals will be suffering in 2-5 years when they are priced out like every other tourism town ( tofino, Whistler, Canmore)
@@rachelk8368 Funny all those towns are several thousands of miles away .
What certain people want they most certainly get. Laws don't mean anything to the rich, they only apply to the folk that can't afford it.

A friend of mine once said after visiting “it’s a lighthouse and some rocks, get over it”.
WOW, Peggys cove has changed a bit since I took my daughter there in 2019. That new boardwalk was not there then.
Name a controversial decision in District 13 over the past few years that hasn't involved Pam Lovelace. I'll wait.
I knew her sister Linda .
When you have something people from all around the world come to see you should never change it.
Premier Houston is really not great for Nova Scotia.
The government knows best!

Places that were unique are now just tourist traps. Not anything that resembles what people were attracted to. 😢
Just looking at these images i can see that its already changed quite a bit since I was last there 9 years ago.

The real message is to stay away from Nova Scotia’s Peggys Cove. Got it.
