Fun Fact! ⛏️

Did you know our Miners Village buildings are open every day from 11:00am to 5:00pm (weather permitting) during the summer?

Step inside the Company House and Company Store to experience what daily life was like for Cape Breton mining families.

From the way homes were furnished to the goods sold in the company store, these buildings offer a glimpse into the communities that grew around the coal mines.

Be sure to chat with our staff while you're there. They'd love to share the stories behind these unique spaces!

We've got a little more coal than that. 😭⛏️

In addition to the image of Mr. Leroux on his own, there is a newspaper clipping with the subtext “Oldest and Youngest Miners” showing Leroux next to two young coal-working boys, one being titled “Canada’s Youngest Miner” shaking Leroux’s hand.
