URBAN COMFORT AT RURAL EXPENSE

QUESTIONS I NEVER EXPECTED TO ASK AT 53

CERTIFICATION IS NOT A CONTRACT

COMMERCIAL LIFTOFF FOR SPACEPORT NOVA SCOTIA • A $159-million German deal gives Maritime Launch Services its strongest commercial validation yet. But Canadians still have to be told what it is

BIG PLANS FOR BIG WIND IN GUYSBOROUGH COUNTY, N.S. • The province’s largest wind project has cleared environmental assessment, advancing a much bigger green-fuels buildout

AN INUIT FIX FOR CANADIAN ICE • $25-million contract between Qikiqtaaluk Horizon and Finnish firm brings multipurpose icebreaker into Arctic waters of the Great White North

COLLEEN PACE (47) • FOUNDER & CEO, SOAP IN YOUR MOUTH

THE BRAIDING LOUNGE SALON

ECOlogical Awards • A unique recognition program for green leaders in Atlantic Canada’s resource development industries

The Hull Whisperer • Atlantic Business Magazine’s inaugural ECOpreneur of the Year emerged from the Halifax marina with bubbling skin and questions—and built a Dartmouth company that’s now coating ships in Chinese dry docks, overturning decades of tradition along the way

The Special Spots • Long before conservation became a formal program, Irving Woodlands foresters were quietly keeping track of places that should not be cut. Four decades later, their private lists have become a 2,419-site conservation system—making them this year’s ECOlogical award winner in the Land-Based category

First on the Call Sheet • When a haulage truck breaks down at the iron ore mines, the phone rings in a handful of local shops. Inside Labrador West’s tight-knit industrial economy, where success relies on community building and business service

From Life Support to Nation-Building • New Brunswick’s mining industry all but died in a generation. A wave of critical-minerals money says it’s coming back—but is this a real revival, or politics and hype propping up projects that don’t pencil out?

The reserve beneath us • Canada is the only G7 nation without a strategic petroleum reserve. Triple Point Resources says the fix is already here—five kilometres wide and 1.5 deep, in western Newfoundland.

THE OYSTER RECKONING • A disease called MSX has wiped out most of P.E.I.’s oysters and shattered the economics of a $20-million industry. The science points to a way out—but two years in, the hatcheries they need still don’t exist.

Crossing the Atlantic • How Ted Lomond reimagined a Newfoundland fuel company into a transatlantic energy player—buying a French refinery, betting on green hydrogen, and redrawing the map along the way.

Open for Extraction • Premier Tim Houston is pitching Nova Scotia as mining country. Convincing investors may be easier than convincing Nova Scotians

DEEP WATER, HIGH STAKES • Bay du Nord edges toward a decision, Hibernia breaks records at 29, West White Rose nears first oil, and the province bets on gas—a snapshot of Newfoundland and Labrador’s offshore energy sector in 2026.

ON A ROLL • Thirty-seven years after starting Fancy Pokket, Mike Timani is still growing, still pushing and having far too much fun to stop

BE AWARE. BE VERY AWARE.
