Wednesday Evening Presentation Series

The 2009 season of The Museum’s Wednesday evening series, “People, Places, and Events in the North Highlands,” ran weekly from July 8 until September 23. Twenty experts, mostly from the local community, shared their experiences and knowledge on a wide variety of topics including “Lighthouse Keeping on Saint Paul Island,” “The Cape Breton Fur industry,” “Building and Sailing the Sloop Double Crow,” and “Cape Breton Swordfishing.”

Similar presentations are being planned to the 2010 season.

Wednesday evening programs are held in the Museum’s Culture Centre, the former United Church building in Cape North, next door to the museum.

Programs begin with a musical welcome at 7 p.m.; presentations begin at 7:30, and last an hour or a little longer. Following each presentation, light refreshments are served (free of charge.)

Admission is $5; all fees will be applied to refurbish and renovate the Culture Centre for future programs.

Everyone is welcome!
