“This has really been one of those devastating blows. We thought we were turning the corner this year. Right now, my heart just breaks for our operators because they are mentally, emotionally, physically and financially exhausted.'

People started to gather during the afternoon on Oct. 7 for the Street Feast Block Party on Kent Street in Charlottetown. The event was originally scheduled to take place Sept. 24-25 but was postponed due to post-tropical storm Fiona. - Dave Stewart Morrison added there are also a number of Maritime Electric and off-Island restoration crews staying at the hotel.

The German MS Amera, with a capacity for 740 passengers, which visited on Oct. 6, was viewed as a test run for Charlottetown. Cochrane said the feedback from local stakeholders and passengers was positive. Laurel Lea, tourism officer with the City of Charlottetown, said the process of moving forward is about finding a balance between events needed to support the shoulder season and being sensitive to the cleanup and the fact not everyone has power yet.

Kim Griffin, spokesperson for Maritime Electric, said as things start to return to normal, hotel rooms are harder to find.
