Cape Breton, Regional municipality in Nova Scotia, Canada
The Cape Breton Regional Municipality extends across 2,457 square kilometers of Nova Scotia's territory, encompassing both coastal areas and inland communities in the eastern region.
The area underwent a significant administrative transformation in 1995 when eight separate municipalities merged to create the Cape Breton Regional Municipality for improved governance.
The municipality preserves Mi'kmaq heritage through educational programs and maintains the Fortress of Louisbourg, North America's largest historical reconstruction project.
The Port of Sydney functions as a primary maritime gateway, receiving more than 70 cruise vessels each season and connecting the region to international shipping routes.
Cape Breton University and the Canadian Coast Guard College operate within the municipality, providing specialized maritime education and research facilities to students.
