The Cat ferry will provide service between Bar Harbor, Maine, and Yarmouth, Nova Scotia, beginning in early 2022
A ferry route from New England to Canada that shut down long before the U.S. border closed during the pandemic expects to start back up soon.
Barring unforeseen circumstances, the ferry's return would be the first time a ferry has run between Bar Harbor and Canada in more than a decade. It expects to offer a departure from Yarmouth in the morning on days the ferry operates, with its expected arrival in Bar Harbor happening around noon."Speaking for the business community, I think everybody is excited for this to finally come to fruition," said Alf Anderson, the executive director of the Bar Harbor Chamber of Commerce."We've really missed our Canadian travelers here over the last two years.
"What I'm hearing is it is a go for the spring," she said during a phone interview with NECN and NBC10 Boston on Thursday, adding that she and other people there are"absolutely thrilled to have the service back."
