The Pubnicos
This proud community’s very essence is founded on Acadian and fishery heritage and traditions. Listen closely for the “patois Acadien” spoken in the villages: this is actually a 400 year old dialect from northern France. Not to worry though, all are also fluent in English, and graciously welcome you to the Pubnicos.
- Village Historique Acadien de la Nouvelle Écosse: a living history village features pre-1920 Acadie activities including dory-making, turning the fog horn, and harvesting salt hay.
- Musée Acadien & Research Centre: a collection of artifacts and historical and genealogical documents in an 1864 homestead. Participate in Acadian workshops that take you back in time.
- Pubnico Wind Farm: Take a walk below these 17 massive windmills, their names written at the base of each tower, which overlook the rocky coast of the Pubnico Harbour.
- Golf: The West Pubnico Golf & Country Club has one of the longest golfing seasons in Canada, from March through to November. This 18-hole course is one of the “Affordable Four” that this region is proud to showcase.
