"We will remember them." Mermaid Marine is closed today in honour of Remembrance Day. We will return to regular business hours on Thursday, November 12.

#OnThisDay in 1918, the people of North Sydney, Nova Scotia, were among the first in North America to learn that an armistice would end the Great War on November 11. At that time, the Western Union telegraph centre in North Sydney was the busiest in the world.

We're almost ready to announce something that's not only bigger, but better, too! You might even say it's the of both worlds.

Out of respect for our veterans, Mermaid Marine will be closed on Wednesday, November 11. We will return to regular business hours on Thursday. #lestweforget
