The Boat Barn will be transformed into “Cecile Forest’s Tavern” set 1810. The School Room will be set in 1845 with teacher Thomas Wilson of Rocky Bay. The Kitchen will be set in 1900 where the interpreter can demonstrate domestic chores and methods of food preservation. The General Store will be set in 1949 giving opportunity for the shop keeper to discuss rationing and the shortage of goods during World War ll. Visitors will experience our costumed interpreters demonstrating what life was like in the selected time periods.

As the crisp autumn air settles over Cape Breton Island, the landscape transforms into a vibrant tapestry of red, orange and gold. This season is the perfect time to explore the Island's natural beauty, rich culture and warm hospitality.
A rural lifestyle is almost mandatory in Bras d'Or and Boularderie Island. This pastoral setting along the Bras d'Or Lake encourages a slower pace of life, the ideal place to embrace 'Island Time'.

Come late November, when parts of Canada begin to be blanketed with snow, Cape Breton wonders if Mother Nature has forgotten her. Not a chance. Winter on Cape Breton Island is inevitable.
Every year Cape Breton Island is included in 'Must See' or 'Must Travel To' lists and 2022 is no different.
It’s time to find the heartiest, homemade meal on Cape Breton Island this winter. Our Island offers many options to chase away the chill.
It's no secret that Cape Bretoners have an accent. The accent can sometimes take on a Gaelic sound and sometimes can sound akin to a Newfoundland accent. Either way, our accent is a part of our identity and no doubt a part of our charm.
