Cape Breton Island's communities were shaped by fishing, sealing and shipbuilding, and Celtic music survives in Cape Breton and Newfoundland. English is the main language across Canada's islands, with French in parts of Nova Scotia and PEI, and Inuktitut in Nunavut's islands. Food across the islands leans on fresh seafood, including Atlantic lobster and salmon, so meals here tend to follow that pattern. Ferries, bridges and domestic flights connect Canada's islands, which makes reaching Cape Breton Island straightforward for visitors continuing onward.
