About Glace Bay
The town
Glace Bay sits on the Atlantic shore of Cape Breton Island, just east of Sydney. Its built-up area had about 16,900 people in 2021, down about 4% from 2016, within a Cape Breton Regional Municipality (CBRM) of about 93,700. It grew as a coal town, was incorporated in 1901 and became part of CBRM in 1995. The Cape Breton Miners Museum keeps that past on a 15-acre coastal site, with underground tours led by a retired miner. At Table Head, the Marconi National Historic Site marks the first exchange of radio messages across the Atlantic, in December 1902. Glace Bay Hospital has an emergency department, but it is not open around the clock; Nova Scotia Health posts its hours and closures online. The nearest 24-hour emergency department is at Cape Breton Regional Hospital in Sydney. CBRM's Planning and Development Department issues building and development permits and checks them against its zoning rules.
Around it
Big Glace Bay Lake National Wildlife Area, southeast of town, covers 392 ha of estuary, salt marsh, woodland and barrier beach where piping plovers nest. Hiking, fishing and boating under 10 hp are allowed there, with a launch at the end of Lake Road. Dominion Beach Provincial Park has a 1.5 km sand beach with boardwalks over the dunes. JA Douglas McCurdy Sydney Airport has scheduled Air Canada flights to Toronto and Montreal. For a lot on a provincial road, CBRM wants a Public Works access permit with the application.
