WOW – GNWDS has received 120+ responses to the survey. Very impressive. These responses included 430+ individual and unique comments worthy of consideration. Many comments are very supportive and are aligned with our historical approach to the operations of this wonderful destination. Some comments are critical of approach and operations. Collectively, the survey provides valuable insights to opportunities for improvement and enhancement. It is noted that the responding public sets a high bar of expectations for the GNWDS volunteer management and its staff and the site itself. It is a big job just to listen to the feedback and absorb. It is even a bigger job to act on some of the recommendations. We need more volunteers support to advance the cause and act responsibly to the feedback we have obtained. Please reach out if you can help GNWDS with this noble mission.

The Grand Narrows, Iona and Barra Strait area is one of the prettiest in Cape Breton and can't be beat for a family beach & recreation day, a visit by land or water, and the ambiance of the Wheelhouse for lunch, Happy Hour or a sunset meal. You need to bring your own towels and water noodles :), but showers, washrooms, laundry & docking facilities are available for everyone.
