REBUILD TRAILER
Trailer for the 44 minute festival film rebuild. rebuild is an unflinching look at the unionized construction sector in Cape Breton—its history, its debt to the island's fierce labor activism, its declining reputation at the end of the twentieth century and, most powerfully, its involvement in Cape Breton's economic recovery and in community life today.

After darkness falls the mood is set. A beat up black Nissan 300ZX rammed a tree in his front yard. With the car hood up, smoke emanates from it. A male victim lies lifeless in the driver’s seat and a strobe light illuminates the crash scene.
This is the typical ghoulish fare prefers when scaring his guests.
This year for the first time he decided to decorate his yard and invite the public over for some frightful fun. It can even be described as good-natured fun.
described how one young girl, who was too frightened to enter the haunted maze with the 15 or more actors there to scare, braved her way through it with his help.
“We stopped the whole show,” . “Put everybody on hold, gave her a special lantern that she could take through the show and everybody took their masks off.
“Nobody did anything scary. It was just her, her mom and aunt who came in and we walked them all the way through the graveyard, and she had a time.”
After that introduction, he said she walked through a couple more times while everything was lit up and in action without a problem.
But because some children and more sensitive folk might get overwhelmed during the five- to 10-minute trek through the cemetery, has set aside Thursday evening as a tamer experience.
“You have to adapt to some people’s levels so that everybody gets equal enjoyment out of it,” he said.
Then there are those thrill seekers that get what’s coming to them.
From the reaper’s walk to the hangman’s gallows, there’s enough to keep all senses working overtime.
Through the massacre maze to the cemetery and on to chemical alley and the doll of death exhibit, each has its own way to spike a person’s heart rate.
“We know the people who want a scare. We pinpoint those guys right off the bat. You can pick them out in a crowd pretty easy,” .
All of the wood and burlap to design the maze, the cemetery gate and costumes were bought by , and in turn, some businesses donated supplies on top of his expensive purchases.

New Brunswick Travel Guide (Canada) | Visiting Fredericton, Saint Andrews, Fundy & Hopewell Rocks
Come join us for our New Brunswick Travel Guide as we visit this beautiful province in maritimes of Canada visiting Fredericton, Saint Andrews, Fundy National Park and the Hopewell Rocks.
We kick things off in Fredericton, where my parents live, playing tourist by visiting the historic downtown centre, city hall, pedway, lighthouse, Odell park and legislative building as well as walking along Waterloo Row to see some historic mansions and the Fredericton Railway Bridge (pedestrian walking bridge) to grab lunch and beers at Picaroons Roundhouse.
From Fredericton we continued our road trip by heading south to visit Saint Andrews. Beautifully situated along the coast this is one of the most scenic towns in New Brunswick and great place to go boating and/or whale watching. Although we just visited briefly we really enjoyed our fish and chips and assorted seafood platter lunch and walk along the beach.
We continued onward to Fundy National Park where we set up base in a beautiful cabin located in Cape Enrage nearby Alma. From here we did several days worth of exploring Fundy National Park visiting lakes, hiking trails, beaches, rivers and more. Togo especially loved the opportunity to splash around as much as he could.
Our final stop visiting New Brunswick was at Hopewell Rocks - the most iconic attraction in the province. Having a chance to visit with beautiful weather and before the crowds descended was the perfect ending to our time in New Brunswick. If you're looking for an underrated Province to visit in Canada look no further than New Brunswick. This province has so much to offer and is well off the typical tourist radar.

New Brunswick Travel Guide (Canada) | Visiting Fredericton, Saint Andrews, Fundy National Park & Hopewell Rocks:
Today we’re going to be taking you on our family road trip across New Brunswick! After two days driving across Ontario and Quebec, we finally arrived at our destination: Fredericton, the capital of New Brunswick. We show you Fredericton highlights, and then we’ll be touring the charming seaside town of St Andrews, hiking in Fundy National Park, and marvelling at the Hopewell Rocks on the Bay of Fundy, which is home to the highest tides in the whole world. We hope you’ll enjoy our tour of the province and now let’s go explore New Brunswick.
We took a break after all that food and drink, and later in the afternoon we drove to Odell Park so that Togo could enjoy a walk in the woods.
We showed my parents a few of the city landmarks stopping at Town Hall, the lighthouse, and the Legislative Building, and then it was time to hop in the car and start this road trip!
Our next destination was St Andrews, about a 2 hour drive away. This is a very picturesque seaside town where you can do whale-watching excursions, boat tours, and enjoy delicious seafood.
Because it was such a hot day, we also made time to find a beach so that Togo could splash around.
Then, it was time to hop back in the car and drive to our next destination: Cape Enrage where we had rented a cottage for the next 2 nights. It was about a 3 hour drive to get there with a few stops for the dog along the way. We had to cross all of Fundy National Park.
The following morning, we got an early start and made our way to Fundy National Park for some hiking. After a few days of driving, Togo was thrilled to be out in the woods leading his pack down the trails.
After a little snack on the picnic tables, we got back in the car and drove towards Herring Cove to give Togo a chance to play in the water. Alma is a small town located just outside the park, so they picked up some fish and chips with coastal views.
That afternoon, we continued exploring the rest of Fundy National Park and visited two different lakes. The fog was starting to roll in as we drove back to the cottage that afternoon, and shortly after, it started to rain. We were lucky enough to have a special visitor: this deer!
The next day was another early start because it was our last day in the province and we couldn’t miss the Hopewell Rocks!
