Welcome to the
Bras d’Or Lake Biosphere
The Biosphere is located on Cape Breton Island – Unama’ki, in Mi’kma’ki, the ancestral and unceded territory of the Mi’kmaq people.
Our Mission
It is our mission to engage all peoples in the balanced and sustainable development of the exceptional cultural, social, environmental and economic assets within the Bras d’Or Lake watershed.
Our Vision
We envision the Bras d’Or Lake watershed as a special place where communities are joined together in thoughtful promotion of environmental assets and responsible economic development.
In partnership with UNESCO`s 7 World Heritage Sites, 3 Global Geoparks and 3 Biosphere Regions in Atlantic Canada, we are pleased to advise you that the group is seeking proposals from experienced marketing agencies or consultants to emphasize the value of these UNESCO designations in Atlantic Canada.
If you`re creative, strategic, and ready to make an impact by helping sites communicate the UNESCO story to tourism industry partners across Atlantic Canada, we want to hear from you!
