Fox Harb'r Resort Plays An Important Economic Role In Cumberland County

Ron Joyce's vision to create a destination resort on Nova Scotia's north shore that would contribute to the local economy has been largely achieved with new near-term investments being planned.

Joyce and his family have invested more than $100 million in the resort that opened in 2000. The resort's economic impact in terms of county taxes, employment and purchase of local goods and services is in the millions of dollars annually.

In the latest "Insights" podcast, Kevin Toth, the President of Fox Harb'r, talks about how the resort has managed through the pandemic, the current season and the increase in business,  the opening of the new conference centre; and their plans looking ahead. Having a world-class destination like Fox Harb'r is important not only for Cumberland County but the whole of Nova Scotia.
