Present
With the demise of the cod fishery, Savage Cove-Sandy Cove, as well as many other neighbouring communities, are suffering financially. The towns' population's has been steadily decreasing as residents leave their homes for better job opportunities elsewhere. However, a fish plant in Sandy Cove is still operating and serving neighbouring communities. Also, various industries still function such as the shrimp and lobster fisheries, as well as other available smaller fisheries and fur trading.

Famous quotes containing the word present:
“The primary function of myth is to validate an existing social order. Myth enshrines conservative social values, raising tradition on a pedestal. It expresses and confirms, rather than explains or questions, the sources of cultural attitudes and values.... Because myth anchors the present in the past it is a sociological charter for a future society which is an exact replica of the present one.”
—Ann Oakley (b. 1944)
“The lowest and vilest alleys of London do not present a more dreadful record of sin than does the smiling and beautiful countryside.”
—Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930)
“The reverence for the deeds of our ancestors is a treacherous sentiment. Their merit was not to reverence the old, but to honor the present moment; and we falsely make them excuses of the very habit which they hated and defied.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
