Sharing & Celebrating the Diversity of Cape Breton Island

diversitycapebreton.ca is an interactive, and growing, multimedia resource. It houses and presents research about the contributions of diverse groups to the social and cultural landscape of Cape Breton Island.

It is a digital archive for community partners to contribute and safekeep their documentary materials. And it is a technology-enriched learning space with interactive multimedia resources – exhibitions and learning resources of various kinds – for the public to explore.
