Mill River Resort News Today

A once-in-a-lifetime experience for some, the April 8 solar eclipse cast darkness over parts of P.E.I. CBC News captured the moment at Mill River Resort, where hundreds gathered to watch. As the sun re-emerged, we spoke to people afterward about their experience.

Thousands of Prince Edward Islanders took in Monday's solar eclipse from tip to tip, and they have some amazing photos to remember the once-in-a-lifetime event.

The much-anticipated day has arrived for sky-watchers: a total solar eclipse will begin making its way across the western third of Prince Edward Island just before 3:30 p.m. AT. Islanders won't see another total solar eclipse for 55 years.

The ice is ready and the rocks are gliding at the new West Prince Curling Club, the culmination of a more than three-year effort to merge two beleaguered organizations in western P.E.I. 

On April 8, people will be travelling from all around the world to catch a glimpse of the solar eclipse. Lucky for them, a number of those cities in or close to the path of totality can be found in Mexico, the U.S., and Canada.

P.E.I. is expecting up to 10,000 visitors for the Canada Winter Games next month, and while tourism operators are thrilled with the extra business in a typically slow period, they also see it as an opportunity to lure them back in the future.
