Faunal Survey

I first made the acquaintance of Papilio brevicauda in Cape Breton in the summer of 1936 when engaged on an Insect Faunal Survey of this region. We (i.e., my assistant Mr. T. N. Freeman and myself) had made our head-quarters at the picturesque town of Baddeck on Little Bras d'Or Lake and on the afternoon of July 12th I decided to row over to the small island opposite the town, which forms the eastern side of the harbour; this island is heavily wooded down to the water's edge except for a small strip of sandy beach on the Irest side, which is grown over with various coarse grasses and numerous low plants, chief among which is a flourishing colony of lovage (Ligusticum scothicum), a plant which to my knowledge does not accur on the mainland in this region.

The Town

Plebeius scudderi empetri Frmn. was described from material taken in early July, 1936, in an Empetrum bog not far from the town of Baddeck on Cape Breton Island. Later in July of that year several similar bogs were observed in various parts of Nova Scotia, but with the exception of a single worn specimen captured in the Cape Canso region, no specimens of empteri were observed. This was thought to be due to the lateness of the season.

Developed World

Cape Breton Island is a well-known North American tourism destination with long-standing attractions such as the Cabot Trail and more recently developed world-class offerings such as the Cabot Links Golf Course. Tourism contributes significantly to Cape Breton’s economy, particularly since the mid-20th century as traditional resource-based industries have declined. In the 21st century, culinary tourism has become increasingly important to expand the island’s tourism offerings and to provide “authentic” tourism experiences. This study examines local-food tourism in Cape Breton to illuminate its cultural and economic significance. I conducted interviews with food producers, restaurateurs, government representatives, and tourism executives. I also consulted websites and policy documents and compared local stakeholders’ experiences and perspectives with official tourism strategies. Promoting culinary tourism raises questions of power, autonomy, inclusion, and accountability. My study accentuates possibilities for aligning economic and ecological goals to create resilient communities, foster equitable social and ecological relations, and establish Cape Breton as a culinary tourism destination.
