Good morning, everyone! I'm sitting here with my coffee, wearing my AFNWA pin, but my heart is with the community of Eskasoni, where the water flowing from the taps is currently a concerning color - resembling coffee or worse.

As someone who cares deeply about the community's well-being, I want to acknowledge the issue and assure you that I'm here to listen and support. Before I go live to discuss this further, I want to encourage everyone to prioritize their health and safety.

Let's work together to address this issue and ensure access to clean, safe drinking water for all. Join me live as we explore this topic further and explore ways to make a positive impact.

Anybody interested in a free ride in a helicopter? Flight for 4 people. I'm looking for 3 more people to join me. We leave early Saturday, August 17, from halifax, and will fly to Toronto Island where we will have breakfast and then on a yacht for lunch. Then we’ll do a flight over Oshawa to see some wildlife, then returning to The Pier for dinner, then fly back home!

If interested please pm me.

Preferably someone with a helicopter and yacht, otherwise we can't go.

Just a little something to bring a smile to your face today. Don’t take yourself too seriously. Remember to have fun too! 😉

“ Chapel Island National Historic Site of Canada
Chapel Island, Nova Scotia
Address : Chapel Island, Nova Scotia

Recognition Statute: Historic Sites and Monuments Act (R.S.C., 1985, c. H-4)
Designation Date: 2003-06-03

Other Name(s):

Research Report Number: 2002-078
Plaque(s)

Existing plaque: End of Sitmuk Awti, St. Peter's, Nova Scotia
Chapel Island, known to the Mi'kmaq as Potlotek, has for centuries been a place for spiritual gatherings and Grand Council governance. Burial sites, dance circles and other features attest to its long use. In the mid-18th century, a Roman Catholic church was first erected on the island. The tradition of gatherings has continued and now thousands of Mi'kmaq come each year to celebrate the Feast of St. Anne, renew their faith and reinforce family ties. The Grand Council of the Mi'kmaq still meets twice a year on Chapel Island, a sacred place for the community.

Description of Historic Place
Chapel Island, approximately 2 kilometres long and one kilometre wide, is located in the southeastern corner of the Bras D'Or Lake on Cape Breton Island, where it forms part of the larger Chapel Island First Nation reserve. Since pre-contact times it has been a traditional gathering place and a site sacred to the Mi'kmaw people. The designation refers to the cultural landscape that includes the entire island across which are believed to be many unmarked burials, and archaeological remains as well as visible evidence of human activity concentrated in the southern portion. Here are found marked graves, a boulder associated with the 18th-century Abbé Maillard, two circular depressions, stations of the cross, dozens of summer cabins, and a small church.

Heritage Value
Chapel Island was designated a national historic site of Canada because: For many centuries, this site has been an important gathering place, a location for government and a site of spiritual significance to the Mi'kmaq; since the mid-18th century, when the French first erected a Catholic church here, Chapel Island has been a centre of the Roman Catholic faith for the Mi'kmaq, and the location of an annual pilgrimage celebrating the Feast of St. Ann in late July; and the Grand Council of the Mi'kmaq continues to meet, twice a year, on the island to hold discussions and make decisions.

Chapel Island is a major gathering place for the Mi'kmaq in Atlantic Canada and has been used as such, according to Mikmaw oral tradition, since before contact with Europeans. During the 18th-century the French missionaries, of whom the best known was Abbé Maillard, established Roman Catholic missions. Ongoing missions on Chapel island are central to the spiritual significance of the island. The annual gathering in late July for the Feast of St. Ann draws Mikmaq people from all over the Atlantic region. Chapel Island continues to be regarded as a place of great spirituality and the cultural cradle of the Mikmaq peoples.

Character-Defining Elements
Elements central to the heritage value of this site include: the location of the island on an ancient travel corridor linking Bras D'Or Lake to the Atlantic Ocean; the viewplanes across the water to and from the island and the larger reserve lands; continued use by Mikmaq First Nation peoples, particularly by the Mikmaq Grand Council and for the annual Festival of St. Ann; the undeveloped state of the island save for the more heavily used south end; presence of burial sites, often unmarked, throughout the island; evidence on the south side of the island of long-term human activity including: two clear depression rings in their extent, locations and spatial relationships to other heritage resources, a large boulder associated with the Roman Catholic missionary Abbé Maillard, stations of the cross, and a cemetery with its grave markers in their found locations, forms and materials; the existence of a number of small cottages and a church in their general locations, small scale, vernacular forms and simple materials; potential archaeological sites associated with pre-contact and post-contact use, including the chapel, presbytery, chief's house and translators house associated with the French mission “
