While he was pleased to see the board and the province come together to support the project, Gillis saved the bulk of his praise for the Chedabucto Place Association, which has already raised over $1 million in support of the initiative.
The Chedabucto Place fine arts centre will closely resemble Strathspey Place, the 500-seat concert hall that has served as a hallmark of another school in the Strait region - Mabou's Dalbrae Academy - for the past six years.
Parker noted that the Strathspey Place model is "unlike anything we have here in Guysborough County," and the veteran school board member is already enthusiastic about the opportunities the Chedabucto Place project will bring to students and teachers throughout the county.

I highly recommend this place as a safe and inviting place to bring your wife and kids.
The food in the main restaurant is buffet style for dinner, which was certainly not appealing and we chose to eat in the smaller restaurant, which was waiter service (a bit slow mind you)...food ok, but nothing special.
If you are looking for a good value, fun holiday with the kids, then this is the place to come - they are certainly geared up for children with plenty of activities and a "fun house".

The scene was set by Dr Seamas Grannd, Department of Celtic, University of Aberdeen, a native of the area, who has done extensive place-name collecting from native Gaelic speakers of Strathspey and Badenoch.
He also spoke of the two distinct historical divisions of the area around Aviemore: Strathspey and Badenoch, the former being Grant country, the latter Clan Chattan, including the MacPhersons and the Mackintoshes; and each having its own distinct Gaelic.
The boundary between the two ran immediately south of Aviemore, through a hollow known as Slag na Caillich ('hollow of the old woman', with slag being a local variant of lag 'hollow').
