Take a lazy tubing tour on the Clyburn River while learning about this protected species
Join a guide on a short, interpretive walk up the Clyburn Valley trail. Learn about the natural and cultural history of the area, with a focus on the salmon found in the Clyburn River, the challenges they face, and the efforts being made to restore both their habitat and population.
Then explore the Clyburn as you tube gently down the river with two interpreters who guide you on your exploration and point out some of the many species that live here. Get a first-hand look at the obstacles salmon face as they try to navigate the river, and how climate change may affect their success.

The Gaels celebrated their culture not in huge buildings or sculptures but in their songs. Their songs told the stories of the people, the land, good times and bad, love's lost and yearned for.

As a songwriter, I’ve often described my creative process as though I have tuned into an invisible radio frequency.
It is well-established that dance tradition is an important, if not defining, influence on Cape Breton's traditional music.
