Police attended the scene and found several of the nearly 100 people in attendance were not socially distancing or not wearing masks.
Nova Scotia RCMP say officers reviewed the COVID-19 restrictions with a representative of the event, eventually serving them with a ticket for failing to comply with the Health Protection Act by not ensuring social distancing during the event.
The fine for violating the restrictions by an organization is $7,500.
The Mounties are reminding residents, businesses and organizations to follow Public Health Orders and town bylaws.
COVID-19 restriction can be found on the province’s website.
Police did not immediately respond to a request for more details on the incident, including the name of the organization that was fined.
