Why Retire In Cape Breton

O ESCAPE YOUR HETIC LIFESTYLE...
Cape Breton has a slower pace of life where
people have only quality time to spend.

"If you are looking for the bright lights of Broadway then Cape Breton may not be the place to be, but if you are looking for a quiet relaxed lifestyle, I can think of no other place."

- Bob Clarke,
retired to Cape Breton from Edmonton, Alberta



O ENJOY SPECTACULAR SCENERY JUST OUTSIDE YOUR WINDOW...
Cape Breton is rated one of the five most beautiful islands in the world by Conde Nast magazine.

"It's just a beautiful place.
When you look out your window and see that ocean,
me being a sailor, it draws you to it."

- Earl Mohr,
retired to Cape Breton
from Lindsay, Ontario



O BE GREETED ON THE STREETS
BY PERFECT STRANGERS...
Cape Bretoners are friendly people who still
say hello to one another as they pass on the street.

"There is a song about the Mira River that goes 'Can you imagine a piece of the universe more fit for princes and kings.' Well the people of Cape Breton are the princes and kings as far as I'm concerned. They welcome you into their home, they entertain you, and help you unwind. Why wouldn't you retire here, you'd be a fool not to!"

- Michael Odo,
retired to Cape Breton from Comox, British Columbia


"The people have a kindness, friendliness, and
warmth you just don't get in the city.
I think Cape Breton is God's country."

- Shirley Pettigrew,
retired to Cape Breton
from Calgary, Alberta



O ENJOY A HIGH QUALITY OF LIFE...
Cape Breton has a unique way of life that is
unrivaled, due to our culture and heritage.

"People really do play their fiddles and guitars in the kitchen, cook lobsters over a fire on the beach, and invite people they've just met in for a cup of tea. Retiring to Cape Breton was the best decision of our lives!"

- Alice Clarke,
retired to cape Breton from Edmonton, Alberta



O AFFORD TO LIVE COMFORTABLY...
Cape Breton has some of the lowest housing and land
rates in Canada, along with a low cost of living.

"If you are living on an income that is set, you will be
looking for the place where it is economically best for you to retire.
Without a doubt Cape Breton is one of the best places in Canada."

- Michael Odo
