A major milestone in Mabou, Cape Breton with new student housing at Beinn Mhabu, the satellite campus of Nova Scotia’s Gaelic College, Colaisde na Gàidhlig.
The province says the two-storey residence has 24 modern units for students and seasonal workers during the summer.
Each has a kitchenette and three-piece bathroom with shared laundry on site.
