	Truro, Nova Scotia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Truro is the shire town of Colchester County and is located on the south side of the Salmon River floodplain, close to the river's discharge point into the eastern end of Cobequid Bay.
		Today Truro is known as the "Hub of Nova Scotia" as it is located at the junction between the Canadian National Railway, running between Halifax and Montreal, and the Cape Breton and Central Nova Scotia Railway, running between Truro and Sydney.
		The Salmon River running along Truro's northern boundary is renowned for the natural occurrence of a tidal bore, one of the largest in North America, and a direct result of the power of the tides of the Bay of Fundy.

	The Falmouth Oyster Fishery (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		The oyster fishery is still managed under rules which restrict the season, days and hours of fishing effort, and prohibit the use of power, whilst restricting the size of oysters which may be moved from their natural beds.
		It is to be hoped that the recent debacle, with South West Water discharging sewage into the river-mouth, off St. Mawes, does not result in the loss of the fishery due to the oyster beds becoming smothered in fine "purified" sewage.
		We have been requested to call attention to the practice where oyster dredgers in the Falmouth harbour have lately adopted of taking the seeds or spawn to the great detriment of the fishery in future years.

		Tidal Bores occur when tide water entering a river or stream is compacted and forced into narrower and shallower waters.
		This causes the tide water to build on itself until it forms into a wave flowing over the outgoing water.
		It appears to reverse the flow of water that empties into the bay and can even affect rivers and streams that are quite far inland.
