Aulds Cove

Few communities in Nova Scotia have a history as closely tied to crossing the Strait of Canso as Aulds Cove. On the mainland shore opposite Cape Breton Island, the settlement stands beside the Canso Causeway, the road and rail link completed in 1955 that replaced the ferry crossing. The causeway is paired with the Canso Canal, whose locks allow vessels to pass between St. Georges Bay and the Strait of Canso. Aulds Cove is a practical stop on the route into Cape Breton, where water, shipping and long-distance travel have shaped local identity.
