About Canal Landing
Inhabited by the First Peoples, known as the Mi’kmaq people of Unama’ki, used the land where the Canal now resides, as a natural gathering place. Long before European settlers, the area was a traditional Mi’kmaq portage route and provided a vital connection between the Bras d’Or Lakes and the Ocean.
Dating back to the 17th-century, Nicolas Denys, an adventurer and French merchant, took up the trading post on the land and encouraged the Mi’kmaq to bring their furs in exchange for European goods. As an important historic site on Unama’ki – Cape Breton Island, the Canal has played a unique and important role in the development of the Island.
