What to do on the Island:
During your visit to the Island, tour the Community of Louisbourg and Fortress Louisbourg, do the Seasonal Walk Event to the Lighthouse.
The Seasonal Walk in Glace Bay will take you to the Cape Breton (Glace Bay) Miners Museum, underground tours are available!
The Seasonal Walk (Lighthouse Event) in Baddeck will take you to the Alexander Graham Bell Museum; Baddeck is the site of the first flight in Canada and the Commonwealth.
Rita MacNeil Tea Room on Route 4 is available and a very popular location to visit.
After or before the convention take a private tour of the Cabot Trail Highway that encircles the north of the island and the Cape Breton Highlands National Park, one of the best golf courses in Canada is located here including 10 or more other courses on the island.
There are several whale watching tours available.

Please tell other volkssporters about the 2010 CVF Convention and AGM, this will be the last Annual CVF Convention as the CVF may not have another Convention until 2012 as no other clubs have come forward to hold a convention in 2011.
It may be possible that CVF Conventions will now be held on the even years, however this will have to be approved by the members at an Annual general Meeting.
An Annual General Meeting for the CVF may possibly be held in 2011 by electronic means, not a very exciting prospect but a legal necessity.
So take this opportunity to visit an exciting part of Canada while you can!
GO TO OUR CONVENTION WEBSITE FOR FURTHER DETAILS, PLEASE PASS THIS ON TO ALL VOLKSSPORTERS!
