| Description | This district was created in the redistribution of 2003. It includes part of the former Cape Breton-The Lakes riding, which was dissolved. It includes the County of Victoria and part of Cape Breton County. It's a very rural riding, stretching from Boulardrie Island in the east, skirting the Bras d'Or lakes to the village of Baddeck, and then heading north to the tip of the island.
This riding is home to the Cape Breton Highlands National Park, the Alexander Graham Bell Museum, and the Gaelic College.
The Eskasoni and the Wagmatcook First Nations also make Victoria-The Lakes home. Most people make their living from tourism, fishing, or jobs in the service sector. Aspy Bay Fisheries in Dingwall is a major employer.
The population is 14,560 and the average income is $22,300. Educational levels are below the provincial average. |
