A family in a tight-knit Cape Breton community loses their daughter to the big smoke–T.O. How to stay in touch when long distance calls costs so much? Follow this odd ball family and their quirky neighbours through an entire year of shenanigans as Mom records every detail on cassette tapes to send her in the mail. Mary-Colin Chisholm and Christy MacRae-Ziss star in this fully reimagined Theatre Baddeck hit from 2019, written by Chisholm. Full of classic Cape Breton humour—and live music!—you’ll recognize these characters and leave tapping your toes with a longing for home.
7:30pm | $16 + fees & tax
* Babes in Arms and children under four (4) years of age are not permitted in the theatre. Children must be able to occupy their own seats, due to fire regulations.

Looking to visit some super epic waterfalls this summer as part of your escape to Cape Breton? Well we’ve got just the five for you to explore.
Meat Cove is the end of the world but it is a daunting drive and best kept for advanced riders.
Many marvel at the breathtaking views Cape Breton has in the summertime, but have you ever truly appreciated unwinding in our gorgeous winter? These snowy escapes could become your new favourite way to recharge this season.
Cape Breton is filled with incredible natural places. It's home to meandering rivers, rolling hills, cascading waterfalls and scenic lakes. These locations are beautiful in every season but they really shine in the fall.
Cape Breton is so much more than Cabot Trail. Let us show you some of our favourite hidden gems!
When we think of waterfalls, the image that comes to our mind is tropical pools, cascading water, peace and calmness. But come winter, these waterfalls turn into a completely different scene. We have rounded up our favourite winter waterfalls.
Want to show off your Cape Breton adventure? Read through this blog to find your new favourite instagram hot spot this summer. Trust us, nothing says natural more than a nature photo.
Whether you come for the fishing or relaxing on the River, a day at the beach, or a square dance in Southwest Margaree, you’ll leave refreshed and exhilarated, and ready to plan your return.
It is well-established that dance tradition is an important, if not defining, influence on Cape Breton's traditional music.
