The Halifax Regional Municipality regrets to inform the public that due to the special weather statement issued by Environment Canada and the anticipated 50mm+ of rainfall on Sunday August 23rd, the Clam Harbour Beach Sandcastle Competition has been cancelled.
Residents’ safety is the municipality’s top priority. This annual event typically attracts around 10,000 people to a rural area of the municipality, accessible by a single lane road. Municipal staff have determined that, with continued wet conditions on the highway and around the entrance to the beach, the risk is too high to safely move forward with the event.
