About Inverness County
The area
Inverness County takes in the whole western coast of Cape Breton Island, north to Chéticamp and the edge of Cape Breton Highlands National Park, and reaches inland to the Bras d'Or Lakes. It covers about 3,820 km² and had about 17,300 people in 2021. The Municipality of the County of Inverness (about 13,200) governs the rural areas and villages such as Port Hood, where the county offices are, Inverness, Mabou, Judique, Margaree, Whycocomagh and Chéticamp. The town of Port Hawkesbury (about 3,200) is separate, and the Whycocomagh 2 First Nation reserve had about 900 people. Chéticamp sits between the Appalachian highlands and the Gulf of St. Lawrence, on the Cabot Trail just outside the national park's western entrance.
History
This is Mi'kmaw territory; Parks Canada co-manages the national park with the Mi'kmaq of Nova Scotia. Gaels from the Highlands and Islands of Scotland settled much of eastern Nova Scotia and Cape Breton from the mid-1700s to the early 1800s, and the county markets itself as Canada's Musical Coast. Chéticamp is an Acadian fishing community; its Les Trois Pignons museum covers that history. Inverness village was built on coal mining in the 19th and 20th centuries, now told at the Inverness Miners Museum.
Services and access
Inverness Consolidated Memorial Hospital in Inverness serves Inverness and the surrounding area and has an emergency department. Sacred Heart Community Health Centre in Chéticamp serves Chéticamp and Margaree and also has an emergency department. Strait Richmond Hospital in Evanston serves Richmond County and the southern part of Inverness County; its emergency department has run reduced hours at times, and Nova Scotia Health posts its schedule.
Land and climate
The municipality's public works department runs water and wastewater in the serviced villages. Elsewhere, lots need a private well and septic system; Nova Scotia regulates well construction and keeps a public well logs database, and septic systems must be chosen or designed, installed and pumped by certified people.
Before you buy
The Eastern District Planning Commission (EDPC) handles planning, subdivision, building and fire inspection and civic addressing for the Municipality of Inverness County and for Port Hawkesbury. A county-wide plan (Plan Inverness) now covers areas that had no planning documents before, with secondary plans for Chéticamp, Inverness, Port Hastings, Port Hood and Whycocomagh and separate rules for wind turbines. A building permit is needed for all construction. Where a land use bylaw applies, a development permit must be issued first; the building inspector may also need sign-off from the provincial transportation and environment departments.
