* summer job: watch over rocks overlooking Atlantic Ocean
* keeps watchful eye for visitors who wander too close to water's edge

Comment: this sounds like a great program. Grew up not far-ish f. Peggy's Cove: scenic but can be v. dangerous (slippery seaweed at tideline; rogue waves). Tourism is such a boon to Nova Scotia; we want everyone to be safe!! πŸ™‚

Security patrollers at Peggy's Cove, N.S., are keeping a watchful eye for visitors who wander too close to the water's edge, and blow whistles to urge them back onto shore.

You know I over-promote #NovaScotia? Our official #Tourist websites are biased in presentation; a search will reveal targeted areas (Peggys Cove, Halifax, Cabot Trail) getting multiple promotions & lesser known wonders, being ignored.

I try to fix that gap.

N.S.'s coastline is approx. 7500 km long. #TourismNS (*official* source) talks about 1/100th of that space. Ditch them!
