I thought I should tell you a little bit about the lovely village of St. Peters. It is located on the east coast of the island, "where the ocean meets the inland sea" (the inland sea being Bras D'Or Lake). In 2001, the population was approximately 2600. I'm not sure if it has grown or shrunk since then or stayed pretty much the same.
St. Peters has everything you need for daily living: a grocery store, pharmacies, hardware store, liquor store, banks, restaurants, hotels, a marina and even a Tim Horton's.
The people of St. Peter's are warm and friendly and welcoming. They are passionate about their village. Because my parents have been living here for 45 years, we are more easily accepted than total strangers. And we have jumped right in volunteering to help out at events which is very much appreciated.
Nearby is a world class beach: Pointe Michaud. The beach is used by families, surfers, dog walkers. You can take surfing lessons and participate in a sand castle art contest. There are numerous summer festivals and events in St. Peters and the surrounding communities.
