Sounds likely that an announcement of the return of the Halifax-Sydney route is coming next week:

Sydney Airport to announce new air travel route
For quite some time now, the Sydney Airport has been operating on two flights in-and-out per day – each route having a single to-and-from flight to Montreal and Toronto.
"Just recently, we went to Boston and my wife and I had to drive to Halifax to catch an hour-and-15-minute flight to Boston,” said Cape Breton Regional Municipality Deputy Mayor James Edwards.
Edwards said there is a particularly strong need right now for more air traffic at the small, regional airport, citing increasing enrolment at Cape Breton University and the new NSCC campus downtown as just a couple of examples of sources of potential travelers.
As things stand now, people often make the three-and-a-half hour drive to-or-from the Halifax Stanfield International Airport.
"It isn't really a huge inconvenience for us, but if we're going down south or whatever Halifax is usually the first stop unless we get a connector out of Montreal or Toronto,” Edwards said.
Next week, the Sydney Airport Authority plans to announce what it's calling a transformational new route along with Cape Breton's newest airline.
