| Description | Cumberland North borders the Northumberland Strait. Its main population and service center is the town of Amherst, across the border from New Brunswick. The riding stretches east to Malagash, home of the Jost Winery, and includes Windsor Salt and a pewter manufacturing business in Pugwash. Outside the town, agriculture, maple syrup production and tourism are important secondary industries.
The major employers are in Amherst: IMP Aerospace, Poly-Cello, the new hospital, grocery stores and school board. The economy has been relatively stable in the last few years with unemployment dipping below the provincial average at about 10.5 per cent. Natural gas service is expected to arrive in Amherst, one of the first areas in the province to receive the service, late this year. Educational levels mirror the province's, with 46 per cent having high school or some post-secondary training.
The population is 18,230 and the average income is $22,040. |
