Confederation Bridge Oct. 23, 2007

So this is the part of the week when I talk about something Canadian again.

Last week I talked about the Throne speech this week I think I'll tackle something a little closer to home, literally closer to home about 10 minutes from my house.

The Confederation Bridge

What is the Confederation Bridge you might ask?

It;s a marvel of modern engineering and design. It was built opened in 1997 I would travel it some 8 years later when I relocated to Prince Edward Island. It connects spans almost 13 Kilometres and connects Prince Edward Island to the mainland (New Brunswick)

Here's a great link explaining the timeline it was built in

Prior to being built the only way to get to PEI in a car was via a ferry. A ferry still runs today on the eastern side of the Island travelling between Pictou, NS and Wood Island PEI.

aaacck!

don't tell me you actually drive across that thing. The only way I could drive across it is by reminding myself non-stop of God's sovereignty.

yes drive across it a few times each year it costs $40 to leave free to come to the island. It's actually not to bad there are barriers on the side that you can't see over unless you are in a high vehicle. It's actually quite enjoyable. My son refers to it as "The Big Big Bridge"

About Me

I'm a former resident of Nova Scotia, Canada, I relocated to PEI in 2005. I'm married and have 2 adopted children. I am a Reformed Presbyterian and attend the Free Church of Scotland. I live in Middleton, Prince Edward Island, where my wife and I homeschool our 2 children. I run an Online Christian Bookstore. I was raised Roman Catholic, when I was in University I was challenged in my faith over the next few I read Paul's Epistle to the Romans which convicted me enough to know I was on the wrong path, in 1996 I hooked up with Rev. John Shearouse who I had met when I was student and he was part of a student ministry. He had just come back to Halifax, to plant a new Reformed church and I started to attend and made a profession of faith. I have been very active in Federal, Provincial and Municipal Politics, have managed many campaigns and having run as a provincial candidate in 1998.
