Spectacle Island Game Sanctuary, Faunal reserve in Baddeck, Nova Scotia
The sanctuary extends 100 meters from Spectacle Island's highwater mark, creating a protected zone of 13 hectares for wildlife conservation and research.
Elsie Alexandra Carolyn Grosvenor Myers donated the island to Nova Scotia in 1969, establishing permanent protection for local wildlife populations.
The sanctuary, known locally as Toothbrush Island, maintains strict regulations to protect nesting colonies of cormorants and other native bird species.
Visitors face entry restrictions between April 15 and August 15, while boats must maintain speeds below 15 knots when passing through the area.
The protected area includes both the island, measuring less than one hectare, and its surrounding waters, creating an integrated conservation environment.
