Mi’kmaw Interpretive Centre

Overview

Note: Due to COVID-19, the visitor experience at places administered by Parks Canada will be different than it has been in the past. The health and safety of visitors, employees and all Canadians is of the utmost importance.

Parks Canada continues to strongly recommend masks be worn indoors, on all transit and in common places and asks that visitors respect recommended social distancing measures at all times.

Parks Canada’s network of protected places is large and diverse. Visitor access, services, and even opening dates may vary across Cape Breton Island and Canso depending on local circumstances. Please visit pc.gc.ca/ns and follow Parks Canada’s social media channels for information and updates on the status of all Parks Canada administered places.
