Our Services in Port Hawkesbury

Everything your business in Port Hawkesbury needs to dominate online.

Port Hawkesbury is the mainland-facing commercial and industrial gateway to Cape Breton — about 3,200 people, sitting on the Strait of Canso just north of the Canso Causeway. The economy is different from the rest of Cape Breton: heavy industry led by the Port Hawkesbury Paper mill (one of the largest supercalendered paper mills in North America), the Strait of Canso's status as one of the deepest ice-free ports on the Atlantic coast (used by heavy shipping and, historically, oil-and-gas support), an NSCC campus, healthcare through the Strait Richmond Hospital, and the regional service centre role for Richmond and Guysborough counties. This is a working commercial town — the businesses here serve industrial B2B, regional retail, and travellers passing through on the way to or from Cape Breton, not destination tourism.
