On Friday July 8th, 2022, CBICI made an excursion to Goat Island in Eskasoni. The group Included 12 international students from different countries, keen to learn the history and culture of Unama’ki.

Shubhi is an international student attending Cape Breton University, in the Post-Baccalaureate Diploma in Business Management program.

Although an island blessed with extensive natural resources, a moderate climate, and a majestic landscape, Cape Breton has experienced a prolonged economic decline characterized by massive out-migration of young, well-educated adults.

We stand with the Sipekne’katik First Nation and the Mi’kmaq asserting their Treaty Rights in Nova Scotia (unceded Mi’kma’ki) to pursue a moderate livelihood through a self-regulated fishery.

Although our doors may be closed, our staff continue to support, connect, advocate on behalf of, and otherwise meet the needs of newcomers to Cape Breton — virtually!

Island Employment and Nova Scotia Works host series of webinars dedicated to wellness, employment, and confidence.

Our team has been working to provide international students with up-to-date information during the COVID-19 pandemic.

On Cape Breton Island, there is no shortage of artistic talent. The Highland Arts Theatre provides a space for artists and community members to gather.

Visit us in our brand new expanded downtown location in the historic Crowell’s building at the corner of Prince and Charlotte Streets.
