Cape Breton Newcomers Series on CBC’s Information Morning
AUDIO: Meet five people who have chosen to make Cape Breton home
Kwe Unama’ki, Hello Cape Breton – A World Gathering on an Island, is an annual multicultural festival that celebrates the diversity of the people who call the island home.
This celebration was born from a recognition of how our island has and continues to diversify, the richness peoples bring and the importance of understanding and valuing all who contribute to the culture of Cape Breton. Year over year, this event has provided an important venue for the local community to celebrate this diversity and to learn about the various people and cultures that now call our island home.
With numerous multicultural food vendors, unique and varied performances, a cultural sharing pavilion, and family-focused activities, community members can meet, engage in conversations, and share stories, deepening the intercultural bonds that will support greater acceptance and friendship in our local community.

We are in Unama’ki, one of the seven traditional and unceded ancestral territories of the people of Mi’kma’ki. This territory is covered by the Treaties of Peace and Friendship which the Mi’kmaq first signed with the British Crown in 1726.

We wish to recognize and honour this understanding of the lands on which we reside. It is from here, on these lands, that we work to create and support a culture of self-reliance and vibrancy.
