It was to help create a safe and accessible space for people with disabilities to be able to enjoy the view of the Peggy's Cove Lighthouse. And the multi million dollar project was also expected to help make it safer for the 700-thousand annual visitors. But once again emergency responders were called in to help rescue two people in the water on the evening of April 11th, 2022. A 23-year-old Dartmouth man was located in the ocean and was pulled on to to a Coast Guard Cutter and airlifted to CFB Shearwater where he was declared deceased. A 26-year-old Ontario man was located near the shore and was rescued by volunteer firefighters. He was taken to hospital with life-threatening injuries. It's a scenario that's all too familiar to Captain Peter Richardson. He's had to rescue survivors and haul them aboard his own tour boat in the past. The former resident also served as a Village Commissioner until he moved out of Peggy's Cove last winter. And in spite of the conversations about how to make the tourist spot safer, he says it comes down to a matter of respect for the North Atlantic ocean lapping at the rocks below the famed lighthouse.
