Council to forge links with Cape Breton Gaelic School

Members of The Highland Council’s Gaelic Committee have today (16 September) extended their well wishes to a new Gaelic school community in Inverness County, Nova Scotia.

Chair of the Council’s Gaelic Committee, Cllr Calum Munro said: “Deep and binding ties between Nova Scotia and the Highlands have existed for many years and The Highland Council is delighted to hear the news of the successful establishment of a Gaelic Medium school in Mabou, Cape Breton.

“We sincerely wish pupils, parents and staff of Taigh Sgoile na Drochaide every success as they begin their journey in a new Gaelic Medium school and we look forward to forging links with the school in the months and years ahead."

Over the last two years, a group of parents and interested community members have come together to establish the first Gaelic immersion school in North America.

With a combined grade primary/one class of students already enrolled, Taigh Sgoile na Drochaide is situated in Mabou, Inverness County.

A ‘Memorandum of Understanding’ (MOU) agreement was signed between The Highland Council and the Provincial Government of Nova Scotia in 2002. The MOU provides the basis for a variety of cultural initiatives between the two areas.
