A Message from the Warden

Welcome to Victoria County!
Residents and visitors alike have been welcomed and have enjoyed the many benefits of our communities and unique Cultures for centuries.  Over the past year and bit, we have all faced many challenges and changes to our long held traditions and way of life. As Covid vaccinations continue and we begin to see the finish line for the 3rd wave, I encourage our residents and visitors to keep up the efforts to stay safe and most importantly be kind to those you encounter.

As residents and a connected Municipality, we continue to be committed to supporting our local organizations and businesses. Victoria County is entering some exciting times with major improvements and growth. New Developments at Cape Smokey, the Highland Village Museum, North Highlands Nordic are driving new opportunities for our residents. New plans for Trails and Waterfront Development to naturally connect our Communities from Baddeck to Ingonish, the strategy of new MountainBike Parks and accessibility plans for beaches and eventually trails are all driving a new and exciting energy in Victoria County and we thank the businesses, their staff and community volunteers for continuing to build on this growth during this past year.

Please be sure to safely support our county businesses by visiting and buying locally while they work to find a new normal. When greeting visitors, please remember the Cape Breton hospitality that has been such a big part of the visitor experience here in Victoria County that drives visitors to return year over year.

Stay Safe, Be Kind and Enjoy the many Experiences, Businesses and Hospitality that make Victoria County Naturally Connected in 2021!
